Scientific Linux Live CD and DVD 4.4 has been released for both i386 and x86_64 Many thanks go to Urs Beyerle from PSI for creating and documenting Scientific Linux Live CD 4.4. The Scientific Linux Live CD/DVD is a bootable CD/DVD that runs Linux directly from CD/DVD without installing. It is based on Scientific Linux 4.4. 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. * 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 (<200MB), fits on a mini CD-ROM (ISO image: mini_livecd) Public mirrors of Scientific Linux LiveCD/DVD can be found at the Scientificlinux.org Download page. Beside booting the LiveCD/DVD directly you can also copy it to an USB flash drive.
