Please re-enable easy access to Orion LiveCD iso

The Legacy Release page points to the install cd for Orion but not the live cd.

There are situations where Scorpion just doesn't work - me included - and although users are being recommended to use Orion the live cd is a much better choice for debugging or testing where there are problems with using Scorpion.

Would it be too awful to provide a link to the Orion Live CD on the legacy release page - certainly be helpful to those who need it.

Didnt notice that,but probably they prefer not to continue to support the live cd even though they will continue to update Orion till May 2020. Most distros have just one release, usually a live cd but some dont and have an installation cd only.

Not suggesting they have to maintain it - though a 6 monthly respin would not be too hard - just to make it accessible as a fallback.

If someone is having trouble getting going with the LiveCD version of Scorpion then the LiveCD version of Orion provides a better alternative than the basic installation CD. Trying to make it easy for folks to not get disappointed and walk away too easily if Scorpion doesn't work for them.

I gotta agree, it is always good to have a live-cd available, and I have kept a few in my backups (just in case) I think the live-cd could be kept "as-is" because usually it is old systems that need this and would rarely need some updated drivers or such. So maybe the last made iso could be made available just for "legacy" purposes

Ok, we have decided to keep Orion live CD so far, and possibly make a respin time by time. We will put links into the old-stable section of the Q4OS website.
