Scientific Linux Live CD 4.2 has been released for both i386 and x86_64

Many thanks go to Urs Beyerle and PSI for creating and documenting 
Scientific Linux Live CD 4.2.

The Scientific Linux Live CD/DVD is a bootable CD/DVD that runs Linux 
directly from CD/DVD without installing (like Knoppix and many others). 
It is based on Scientific Linux 4 (SL4). It uses Unification File System 
(unionfs), allowing read-only filesystem to behave as a writable one and 
squashfs providing on-the-fly decompression that allows to store 2GB 
software on a normal CD-ROM. The Live CD/DVD was build using modified 
scripts from www.linux-live.org.

It's now possible to save your session data and some configurations 
(keyboard, X11 configuration) to an USB stick (or to local hard disk): 
Just run save-localdata.

For more documentation, you can go to 
https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/misc/livecd which 
currently is only a pointer to http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/

Urs has created both a 32 bit, and 64 bit release. He has also created a 
small version (fit's on business card size cd's), normal CD version, and 
a full blown DVD version.
