Hi

The release candidates for SL6 LiveCDs, LiveDVDs and LiveMiniCD are ready for testing

http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/testing/6.0/i386
http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/testing/6.0/x86_64

Software is based on SL6.0. Compared to the last beta, extra software from rpmforge, 
epel and elrepo were added (see list below). 
If no major problems are found, these ISO's will be released next week.


NOTES

For SL6 the way how the LiveCD is built has completely changed. It is
now based on the Fedora LiveCD Tools. 
If you install the LiveCD to hard drive, the installation of the live
image is now done by anaconda similar to the normal SL6 installation.
You can install the LiveCD on an USB stick with persistent changes using
liveusb-creator included in SL6.

KNOWN ISSUES

* Install to hard drive crashes, if a disk is mounted. Per default
  no hard drive are mounted.
* Some features which you might know from SL4/SL5 LiveCD are not 
  included.
* Support for diskless client is very limited. You need twice as
  much RAM as the size of the LiveCD.
