I have uploaded the CD image to:

ftp://sourceware.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/livecds/Fedora-6-systemtap-20070302.iso

Give the liveCD a try. You will need to "su -" before trying any of the 
examples, sudo is not setup on the machine.

I noticed that a md5.sum was computed and written in the directory. This md5.sum 
 differs from the md5sum computed generated from "md5sum 
Fedora-6-systemtap-20070302.iso" on sourceware or my local machine. Note that 
both the md5sums computed by the commandline on sourceware and the upload 
machine agree.
