Well, yes, but don't we all? ;)

Seriously though, LiveCDs are not usually less than 100MB.  To
download that is going to take some time.  One can pop a drive and
re-attach it to a different system faster than that.  Not to mention
that running off a CD is going to be a lot slower than running of a
live HD :)

I fixe that.  The gateway exists now, but for security reasons I
disconnected the other interface ;)
