eComStation Demo CD

This demo will run directly form CD, when inserted in the CD player of the computer. It will not touch the harddrive in any way, but instead run entirely in RAM memory. This enables the user to evaluate the eComStation product easily, without having to having to modify their system.
The demo CD is able to detect and configure a possible network adapter, so the user will be able to access the Internet directly from the CD. If no supported network adapter is found, it is possible to use a modem connection to dial-in to the Internet.
For web browsing, Firefox is provided and a demo version of Pixel for eComStation is available for a testdrive!

A beta version of the Demo CD based on eComStation 2.2 is now available.
