What is the eComStation Demo CD ?
The eComStation Demo CD is a way to demonstrate the look and feel of the eComStation desktop.
It will boot directly from CD and cannot be installed onto harddrive, it runs entirely in
system memory.
Another popular name for this approach is "Live CD" (like
Knoppix for example).
The advantage is that your current system will remain untouched, the disadvantage
is that the memory
requirements are quite steep (at least 160 MB of system memory).
The normal version of eComStation can be installed on computers with at least 64 MB of memory.
(see System Requirements).
You can find a review of the eComStation Demo CD at ToastyTech
Please note
The current Demo CD is based on the eComStation 1.2 product and does not reflect the current state of the eComStation 2.0 product.
For example, the only supported virtual machines for this Demo CD are Parallels Desktop and Microsoft Virtual PC.
An updated Demo CD will be published shortly.

Q2: I'm having a problem with the demo CD, for example it will not
start.

are on the market will be released soon. As stated in manual.txt we will release new versions of
the demo CD with more drivers and applications.
