MCNLive is a Mandriva-based live CD developed by MandrivaClub.nl in The Netherlands.
This new English-only pre-release, code name "Jordaan", is a freshly build distribution from the current Cooker (Mandriva's development branch).
MCNLive features the XFce desktop, the new ad-free Opera 8.50, Mandriva Control Center, and a set of multimedia applications - all that and more on a 200MB live CD.
The product also includes a graphical application for installing the operating system to a USB storage device.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· After a few years of silence around MCNLive, here we are again with a brand new MCNLive release, based on Mandriva 2010.0!
· It won't have all the nice features you might remember from MCNLive, but the most important things are there. Copy2ram is present, remastering on-the-fly is possible again and even booting from USB is no problem at all!
· Note that the way MCNLive is put on an USB stick has slightly changed. There is no wizard for this anymore, but you can simply dd the iso image to your stick, just like Mandriva One. You should even be able to use Mandriva Seed to put the image on your stick!
· As I said, there are things which we didn't got running (which doesn't mean it won't return in a next release, just not on "Kris"). For example persistent changes with a loopfile are not possible. Also the boot screens are not graphical (the boot menu still is though).
· Since you need a lot more memory to run Mandriva 2010.0 with KDE 4.3 then you needed to have in order to run Mandriva 2007.1 with KDE 3.5, we added a bootoption 'useswap', which searches your drive for swap partitions and enables them, giving you some more space to breathe in.
