A LiveTeXmacs CDROM distro with verion 1.0.6.2 will be released as tested
completed. This distro doesn't include any CAS and is the last distro based on
knoppix-4.0.2. TeXmacs with CAS and python development env (especially
visualization environment) will be also released as DVD. 
The next release will be based on Knoppix-5.0 with LCAT (Linux CDROM
Accelerated Tools, ref: www.alpha.co.jp/ac-knoppix) to shorten the boot time
from Live distro'.

Best regards,
