Great job, it looks awesome! Now on to the unpleasantness. There is an issue with HP laptops and KVM, KVM is disabled in the BIOS by default for newer HP laptops (dv6408nr). This means that on starting up the LiveDVD, it will hang when loading KVM for AMD. This is easily fixed by going into BIOS setup and enabling the virtual manager. However, for a noob this may be a little intimidating/confusing/disappointing. Not sure if you guys can work around this for the next release, so that the hang-up will not occur.
Also, and I realise this is totally not your fault and that this is a shitty upstream driver issue, but for broadcom 4311 cards, it seems like neither the bcm43xx_mac80211 driver, nor the ndiswrapper drivers are working, or are working very poorly. Again, nothing you guys can really do here as you didn't develop the shitty drivers in the first place.
Compiz-fusion on nVidia Geforce 6150 mobile, TOPNOTCH! Works perfectly, nice and stable.
Also, for whatever reason, even the wired NIC in my box is not working, although Knetworkmanager picks up the card and says that it is working.
In sum, great work, all the hard work really paid off.
Here is my lspci and dmesg for you folks to see what I am working with here.
