I think if we have a standard type Linux installer this either will happen without us doing anything, or we can easily get it to happen.

Also what is the status of including Csound5 on any live CD's ?

 From my experience partitioning a disk that already has valuable data 
on it can result in nasty things happening to your data; it seems there 
would be more utility in just booting off of a live CD such as 
pure:dyne or AGNULA with Csound5 already installed rather than risk 
losing all of your data on your Windows drive.
