There's a note on the "Notes" page of the html doc. - maybe a Desktop
icon would be more suitable ;)
I'll fix that later tonight (CEST) - I'll redo the pg-live knoppix iso
image again - the current (rev08) has a small Bug: every item in the
KDE-knoppix menu is duplicated. :(

not really. I was thinking of installing lapack and the various
available debian packages, but was scared about diskspace (now I might
want to get back and install some of 'em.)

I didn't try it myself.

I agree - the current doc we included is definitly just tentative.
(it is located on the container-iso separated from the system-image-iso,
so it's also easy to change) - but given the tight deadline, I didn't
bother to cook something up, yet: we could start a cvs/svn repo on
pgfoundry or use a wiki to collect the content...

and yes: If we're gonna keep 200MB of language support files to the iso,
we should at least translate the welcome screen of the pg_live
documentation :)
