This isn;t clear enough. What is wanted...

(a) a fully-interactive GNUmed, or

(b) one or more examples of GNUmed running?

What next is meant by "no installation"? I suppose if we deliver to people a 
Windows computer pre-loaded with GNUmed, then they could have a demonstration 
without needing to install anything. The only other option here, short of a 
live DVD, would be for the possibly-interested to be able to remotely access 
and control (i.e. run a session on) such a pre-loaded computer.

There is a term for remotely-controllable computers, I believe it is "zombies". 
It is possible to provide managed, remote logon to such computers, I only don't 
know the acceptability of the performance or how we would want to go about 
providing the computers and the access.

Otherwise, we are talking only examples of GNUmed running. if a "movie" is out, 
then perhaps "mimi-movies".
