Dear Max
I beg your pardon. I apologize if I have hurt you. That was not my intention. May be, I should not have keyed in my thoughts. 
I am aware of the issues with development of free software. I had expressed in my email last to awilfox. I am aware of your constraints...man-power, finances...
Really sorry. I am a supporter of free software...foolishly, inadverently I have hurt you...
You are all doing a good job. I am with you...
Please, I downloaded the x86_64, full iso. 352MB...
What I meant is, when this CD boots up, it says, if you want to install, login as 'root'
If you want to explore, play around, login as 'live'
By Live CD, that is what I meant, 'Live' mode would be the appropriate word then?
Your inputs are well received..Kindly advise if this 352MB iso, burnt on CD has everything? Should I get a DE with this?

Reading from the downloads page:

If you want a fully self-contained CD that doesn't need to download any
packages, pick the "full" version.

It provides a live shell environment. A live GUI environment and
installer is forthcoming.

We appreciate the feedback, and I understand your frustration, but the
tone of this email is unwarranted. We're moving as fast as we can with
one employee and a small team of volunteers.
