I'm not sure of the major differences between the liveCD and the
Universal CD.  I think the Universal CD just contained mored packages
(portage snapshots, etc.).  I saw the "definitions" of each CD
somewhere yesterday, but can't seem to place my finger on it now.  I
think the only difference is that you have to download the portage
snapshot from the web (which isn't a bad idea anyway).  The
Installation Handbook covers this.
