Idea for common Ubuntu LiveCD: to add in an ability to generate (clone) new LiveDVD (4.7GB) image, which would contain full ubuntu LiveCD (0.7GB) and rest of space (4.0GB) are user's photos or movies, music, documents...
The only innovation of clonned system: after start of LiveDVD, some autostart function will open window of relevant application (F-Spot, gThumb, Player, Impress, etc.) and showing first photo of album (contained in DVD). Or any multimedial presentation by index.
Moreover, second window opened on background and showing a presentation of Ubuntu, with offer to install it to computer HDD.
The clonner would be as standalone application or as Brasero/K3B burner option. In the best, included in basic Ubuntu LiveCD.
There also should be offer to use LightScribe, to print a logo of Ubuntu + photoalbum title + label as "Insert CD to your computer and reboot it from CD to browse photos".
Maybe would be better to use instantly some hardware-compatibility boot options like NOAPIC , ACPI=OFF etc.. to make it easy for BFUs.
This would be nice tool to smuggle and present "incidentally" nice&working Linux system, against background of photos. And to help spread Ubuntu between next segment of potential users.
(I remember, some years ago existed one similar project - eMovix, designed to play movies using MPlayer, generated by K3B plugin. But this was adding only dumb minimalistic linux distribution - simply to run MPlayer, and now is outdated.)
