This are 2 livecds (32 and 64bit versions available) which can be used as a regular livecd like knoppix only faster, and have support for audio/video capturing which should work with most v4l cards, also there is support for digital video capturing with kino, video editing with avidemux2, nvidia-driver included, and last but not least reiser4 support.
UPDATE:
LuckyLive 32bit is relseased!.
It supports automounting of partitions, uses captive-ntfs, for read-write mounting of NTFS partitions.
New and Improved hardware auto-detection tools, now NVIDIA-cards use the official NVIDIA driver, and other cards should work with no problems.
Packages for 32.bit included:
udev 079
openoffice-bin-2.0.1
NVIDIA driver 1.0.8178
xfsprogs-2.7.3

The CD boots into KDE with user "livecd" the password for root is livecd as in:
su --login
passwd : livecd
Both cds are located at the above ftp address.
Next version will include an installer for this livecd.

Hi there.It would be great if you give us more info for your livecd.But i want to ask first if u plan a 32bit version and if it contains an installer

Well it is a livecd to install gentoo basically, but it has a full desktop so that you can also do some work while installing.

This cd autodetects hardware using the gentoo scripts and boots into a Kde 3.5 desktop.

Right now it has support for Raid, serial ata drives tv-capture cards dvd burning.

I tried to give it as much hardware support as possible, it works very fast at compiling packages, mostly thanks to the enhanced glibc.

I also am thinking about turning it into a knoppix-style livecd, with an installer to disk, but right now the installer is not ready yet.
A 32-bit version is coming, I´m compiling one right now, so if you have any requests I´d be glad to hear them.

Looks like a great project - but it says torrent doesn't exist

Also, to make it installable, you could *try* to use the GLI and modify it a bit, or you can download lxnay's installer, From the mirror... http://lxnay.no-ip.org/gentoo/gli/lates ... li.tar.bz2 - Also, I'm going to try and help phaeron (phaeronix.net) with his future releases, He sent me his installer to have a look, its a simple bash/zenity script, but it works

if the installer is not on his site, and you are really interested, I would send it to you.

It wont be too hard to write a script

you need formatting/mounting of hard drives, cp /* /mnt/gentoo, and other odds and ends like rc-update, grub configuration, etc.

Though I run an amd64, I'd also like to see a 32-bit version

Hi Cheater, I´ve uploaded the file to an ftp server courtesy of mudrii, this is the address.
ftp://mudrii.ath.cx/LuckyLive64/
Check the parent post, i´ve fixed the link for the torrent.
And, I am really interested in the installer, and right now am doing a 32bit version of this cd.

Just one question ...... does it have the ULI M526x Controller enabled as a module or bultin (from the Tulip driver) ? If this is not enabled .... it's useless to me because my NIC won't work.

It´s enabled on the second beta, as a module.

Yes, They load automatically at boot-time.

Yes, it does have dmraid support, you can use raidtools or mdadm

that's not dmraid support. That's linux software raid support. dmraid is the BIOS software raid e.g. nvraid. This support is provided by the device mapper.
