You can download an ISO at http://www.railslivecd.orgThe Rails Live CD project was born on Ezra Zygmuntowicz' blog and realized with help from Brian Ketelsen. It is based on PCLinuxOS and released under the GNU Public License. The following is a partial list of the contents of the CD:

You can also run RailsLiveCD in Qemu, VMWare or Parallels Desktop/Workstation. With a few simple commands you can save all your changes to your environment to a USB Key, floppy or folder on your local hard drive. Or, you can use the RailsLiveCD to take the plunge and install Linux directly on your system.

I am a little bit puzzled by the MySQL version. I have played with InstantRails a couple of day before, and I have made it work with MySQL 5.x. If you check MySQL/Ruby it states that the requirement on MySQL is 4.1.15 or 5.0.16. Isn't this the one used by ActiveRecord? ./alex -- .w( the_mindstorm )p.

No idea, but I'll try to find out!

There are no pointers in the ruby ml-s, and I am not yet watching the RoR ml-s. I am sure things are quite simple, but not same visible :-). ./alex -- .w( the_mindstorm )p.
