I apologize for that. The actual name of the branch did not
come to me while writing the email.

I think martin has had problems when trying to demonstrate his
guess package. Maybe this helps people try it easily. That was my
intention with the iso, not Doyen related (at least until the summer).

-1 for Virtual PC :-). The latest version has worked fine also
qemu.

Yes I am still using the same linux version (Fedora Core 3). I tried
to get zope/zwiki/latexwiki/... in other distros but it was not as simple
as the current configuration. I would like to have the live cd based
on Ubuntu Live CD, so I dont have to care that much about hardware
support and just focus on Axiom/LatexWiki/interfaces....

I will try Virtual PC.
