17 I'm not sure of the major differences between the liveCD and the
18 Universal CD. I think the Universal CD just contained mored packages
19 (portage snapshots, etc.). I saw the "definitions" of each CD
20 somewhere yesterday, but can't seem to place my finger on it now. I
21 think the only difference is that you have to download the portage
22 snapshot from the web (which isn't a bad idea anyway). The
23 Installation Handbook covers this.
