LiveCDs are destined to give a user a bad experience, since they can
only run as fast as your CDROM is.

but at least they enable you to check all your hardware works before you
install....for example, I ditched MEPIS because it wouldn't see my
Firewire ext HDD......

Yes and no. LiveCDs often only include a subset of the most common
drivers
around, not the full compliment Linux is capable of. Just because the
LiveCD doesn't work doesn't mean a real distro won't.

Most distros with live CDs now just install off the same CD, so how can the
drivers not be the same?
