Just curious, has anyone tried pekwm yet? www.pekwm.org, and it is in the Fedora repositories.
Haven't tried it. Yet, at least. Now that you have pointed it out, I will probably give it a whirl. The site below has a comprehensive list of window managers for linux, with links and brief comments. http://www.gilesorr.com/wm/table.html It suggests pekwm behaves like a derivative of aewm++ with window grouping like PWM and fluxbox. And no, I don't know what that means, though he does say that he likes it.
Also, is it possible to make a LiveCD with a WM environment (not with a DE)?
Of course it's possible. ;-) The question I think you are asking is if there exists a mechanism to provide that easily, and I think the answer is no. However, it should be possible to take the image of a desktop iso that exists, mount it locally, copy it so it is rw, modify it to your needs (change applications, configuration), and then recreate a new iso from the modified copy. Burn to CD, and you then have your custom live CD. I haven't actually done this, so theoretical musings only, the implementation left as an exercise for the reader. :-)
