See my reply to Hans (about five minutes before this message); it's complexity of installation and options, not disc usage, that I'm trying to minimize. A bit off-topic: mayb we can also think a context-live iso img.
I have already done it once (perl and ruby added to the CD, and formats generated), and one could be prepared at/for the conference. However, I have no idea how sensible the formats are (if you prepare a live CD with slightly different versions of pdfTeX for different platforms - probably that's not going to work?) And luatex should then put its cache into temp. What about an image to run with a virtual machine ?

PS: but the main problem with CD is that you cannot update it, so it probably gets old before you even manage to burn it
Are you sure ? pdftex is frozen (almost), . I have a production with a context 4 years old. Context (in some...contexts) stay pretty young. -- luigi it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org
