There is also a side-project for Kororaa called the LiveCD. It is a livecd designed to showcase AIGLX, Xgl, compiz, KDE, Gnome, Gentoo and Kororaa technologies. The livecd lets you safely play with the Kororaa system and has the option to install to disk. Our installer takes care of most of the manual configuring required under the Gentoo method, and we have also added a large number tweaks and automations along the way.
