Doing the GNUstep two-step is an older report about the GNUStep Live CD. I'm linking it only because it describes a problem that has also annoyed me: the CD doesn't boot. Which is pretty stupid for a live CD. And no, the argument that it doesn't boot on some old computers doesn't hold up — the computer having the problem here is just one year old.
The GNUStep Live CD developers really should tackle and solve this problem — because if all kinds of Knoppix variants boot on a computer, and even the Gnoppix CD boots — then there's no reason why the GNUStep CD shouldn't boot. And no, floppies are not an alternative — the computer has no floppy drive. It's just too new for that...
