I have built a LiveCD of evergreen, but still need to put some finishing 
touches on it.  

In addition, I have a script that installs evergreen on a fresh build of 
Debian Etch in about 15 minutes, completely automated, no editing of config 
files, etc.  Just have to type in a couple of passwords along the way.
