Hi, Mini-LiveCD, LiveCD and LiveDVD based on SL6 Beta 1 are ready for testing. They are available for 32 and 64 bit. DOWNLOAD http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/testing/6beta/i386/ http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/testing/6beta/x86_64/ The LiveCD comes with gnome, the Mini-LiveCD comes with icewm and the LiveDVD with gnome, kde and icewm whereas gnome is the default. NOTES For SL6 the way how the LiveCD is built has completely changed. It is now based on the Fedora livecd-tools. Some features which you might know from SL4/SL5 LiveCD are not or not yet included. 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. * Boot parameter to set the keyboard layout (kb) does not work * Reboot after install to hard drive may not work * Mini-LiveCD is not really yet minimal in size * Support for diskless client is very limited. You need twice as much RAM as the size of the LiveCD * Documentation is missing * No Mini-LiveCD for x86_64. Does anybody would like to have it?
