OK, I have the ISO (latest revision = "Jordaan") on uncle-enzo
(linuxmafia.com), ready to burn if we're curious about it.

Try out your knowledge of Dutch on the documentation!

Distrowatch says, somewhat less cryptically:  "MCNLive is a
Mandrakelinux-based live CD developed by MandrakeClub.nl in the
Netherlands."

And there's English documentation here:

  A new release of MCNLive, the Mandriva based LiveCD, is out, codename
  "Jordaan". Entirely based on Mandriva 2006 it comes with new features.
  Install MCNLive graphical with a few clicks on your USB Stick, and run
  it in Live mode! New hardware detection. This first pre-release (English
  only) features the fast Xfce desktop, included applications focussed on
  Internet and Multimedia. Opera 8.5 no-ad version, Gaim, Gftp, Bluefish,
  GXine,Beep-Media-Player, Gimp, Gthumb, Abiword, Graveman, Gnome-Games,
  Midnight Commander, Tea Editor, Samba client and more. And the shiny
  Mandriva Control Center, of course. All this on less than 200 MB.
