Up now. Still obviously needs lots of love; suggestions from web gurus
welcome. It needs to highlight a couple things better than it does
now:

* what it is
* where you can get it
* what you can do with it if you want to help sell gnome
* what you can do to get involved if you want to help develop it

It is all in gnome cvs now:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnomeweb-wml/www.gnome.org/projects/livecd/

so you can easily get the raw bits and edit them/send me patches if you want.

I have a 2.11 liveCD that boots and even has some 2.11.90 packages,
but contents are still sketchy- theme broken, defaulting to ffox, etc.
I'll fix it in the morning and post it for people to grab and play
with.
