Sorry for the late reply, just making my way through piles of backed up 
mailing list messages, but instead of using a live CD and requiring your 
admins to reboot into the liveCD environment - how about using a remote 
desktop alternative? Set up one WBEL machine and let everyone have 
access to it from their windows machines - with fullscreen remote sessions.

The new FreeNX server is a VERY interesting project based on the open 
source licenced libraries from noMachine. This stuff is still pretty new 
so it might be a bit hard to find. The latest knoppix cd has the FreeNX 
server included though. And at worst - you could download the trial 
server version from noMachine until you find the FreeNX version :)

You can get the client for free from noMachine and it will run on any 
windows and give you a full screen (if you want) remote X session. It 
works just like as if you were sitting infront of the actual linux 
machine itself. And the compression algorithms that they use are 
incredible - there is no lag at all.

This saves you the perfomance hit from liveCDs, the pain of rebooting, 
the pain of not having windows just a click away, and you only have to 
set up one WBEL machine for everyone!

If you need more details let me know ...
