[Coco] CoCo Linux Live CD

[camillus Blockx]

Hi

A friend of mine got rid of that unity desktop. I will ask how he did it.
Sounded not so difficult when he explained it to me. I just did not tried
it myself.

As for the help, my knowledge of Linux is very limited.

Maybe I can make some covers for the cd/dvd sleeve and/or some background
themes?
Just to mention I can do also some translation from English to Dutch if
needed.

Let me know asap so I can start
