I think it should work, at least some people do so to use Knoppix, so
after a few tweaks it should be the case. However, it's not exactly the
aim we have currently here, in Vislab. It's mainly to have a few to show
AG easily everywhere, for demonstration and first trial. However, it
should be possible, it's sure, I will look it closer if I have the time.

Something close may possible indeed. It requires some work too but it's
possible. If there is a real interest in such solution I could take some
time to look at it closer.
However, first, I would like to have a "stand alone" bootable live cd
working. What is required currently is simpler than that : just to know
what to copy on my iso in order to have the certificate rightly installed.
I guessed copying an user .AccessGrid folder is part of the answer, but
just this doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
Cheers,
Joseph
