Hi, A VERY FIRST ALPHA test release of LiveCD/DVD based on Scientific Linux 5 Alpha is now available for testing: ftp://ftp.psi.ch/psi/livecd/pub/5a - On the LiveDVD all Client/Workstation RPMs (except some devel packages) are installed. Gnome is the default windows manager. - On the LiveCD KDE is the default windows manager. - For the moment there are no 64bit SL5a LiveCD/DVD available. More information can be found at http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd Hope these LiveCDs are useful for people which want to test SL5 Alpha without installing it. Feedback is very welcome. Urs
