Which Live Linux CD has all the normal stuff in a Live CD but also has the flash pluggin, javapluggin and any other common plugins. I can't find a good one. I downloaded MandrakeMove and Knoppix, both very very pretty, but no flash or javaplugins. I need it so my mom and brother can still play online games such as the ones found at freeonlinegames.com and miniclips.com.
Incase anyone cares. I need these because I'm on a mission to convert the parental units to linux.

Good for you, I would never be able to convert my parents....
I just found out about Morphix, I'm downloading the XFCE version right now but I'm not sure if it has Java/Flash support or not. It should be downloaded within ~30mins so I'll boot to it and report back.
Thanks. I still haven't been able to convince them. I almost have my brother. As soon as he can play his online games, hes hooked. But the parents, oy, stubborn.
From the FAQ
o /deb
If .deb (debian packages) are placed in this directory, they will be installed at boottime of the livecd.
From reading this, it seems like you can put the installation deb files into the /deb directory and it will install at bootup with minimal hassle on your part.
The problem I have is that the computers with Linux installed do not have a cd burner, and I am not allowed to touch the partitions of the comptuers with windows. But I did find one after hours of downloading and trying. (Thank god for CD-RW) It's called PCLinux.
