Scientific Linux Live CD 4.3 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 4.3.

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.

    * *LiveCD*: fits on a normal CD-ROM (ISO image: *livecd*)
    * *LiveCD64*: CD-ROM for 64bit (ISO image: *livecd64*)
    * *LiveDVD*: only fits on a DVD (ISO image: *livedvd*)
    * *LiveDVD64* for 64bit (ISO image: *livedvd64*)
    * *Mini LiveCD*: rescue system (<190MB), fits on a mini CD-ROM (ISO
      image: *mini_livecd*)

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.
