* BitTorrent download. Use these files to download and verify the CD image via BitTorrent: [http://www.gramps-project.org/download/lgenealogy-4.0-desktop-i386.iso.torrent torrent file], [http://www.gramps-project.org/download/lgenealogy-4.0-desktop-i386.iso.md5sum its md5sum], and [http://www.gramps-project.org/download/lgenealogy-4.0-desktop-i386.iso.md5sum.gpg its gpg signature]. Please keep in mind that the torrent downloads are provided by a few kind souls from their personal computers and that the speed and the very availability of the torrents depends entirely on them.

* Purchase a CD. An alternative to downloading the CD image is to purchase the physical CD. The CD is currently available for purchase in [http://www.cdfhs.org.au/zenshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=16 Australia] and the from [http://fstore.roitman.org/ USA].

== Developers ==
Thanks to Alex Roitman, the details to create the Live CD are now available for future development. If you would like to contribute to this, please email the gramps-developers mailing list.
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps-cd/ - Sources for Live CD
* [http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverickprecise/uck Ubuntu Customization Kit] is a tool that helps you customizing official Ubuntu Live CDs. You can add any package to the live system like, for example, language packs, applications, etc.

* A genealogy tablet ?
** I wouldn't dream of doing genealogy research without a real keyboard and a big monitor. ** A tablet may be useful for presentations (showing off). Figuring out how to install gramps (a subset) on an iPad or a Honeycomb tablet (Jython?) might be a better use of time than spinning a custom system.** OTOH, making a nice UI for a tablet would be an interesting project. (I can just see a bunch of people I know futzing with Gramps during sacrament meeting. <g>) There is a [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Required_software#OpenEmbedded.27s_Software_Requirements script] for [http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/Main_Page OpenEmbedded] supportor [http://www.buildroot.org/ buildroot], [http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/crosstool crosstool-NG], [http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/index_en.html PTXdist], ...
* Our [[GEPS_013:_GRAMPS_Webapp|Web Application]] as a local application.
* Provide more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software FLOSS] software: [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Other_genealogy_software programs], [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Other_genealogy_tools tools].
* Consider Lubuntu or Xbuntu as a base instead of the full (fat!) Ubuntu.
* The people I would share this with would want it to include PAF (works with wine) and Family Search Indexing (I still have to try this.)
== Translations ==
If after installation, your desktop is not fully translated to your selected locale:
# have a look at Menu -> System -> Administration -> Languages support [http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/maverickprecise/language-selector]# or manualy manually [http://packages.ubuntu.com/fren/maverickprecise/all/translations/ download packages with your language code]. Then under a console:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
