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. EXTRA SOFTWARE fuse-ntfs-3g (rpmforge) fuse-sshfs (rpmforge) ntfsprogs (rpmforge) dd_rescue (rpmforge) ddrescue (rpmforge) iperf (rpmforge) flash-plugin (rpmforge) rxvt-unicode (only MiniCD) (rpmforge) gparted (epel) NetworkManager-openvpn (epel) NetworkManager-vpnc (epel) vpnc-consoleuser (epel) kmod-reiserfs (elrepo) kmod-ndiswrapper (elrepo) reiserfs-utils (elrepo) BOOT PARAMETERS kb=: set password noautologin: disable auto login noswap: do not search for SWAP partition automount: enable auto mounting (rw) of all found hard drives user=username: user name of local user, default is sluser cell=your.cell: set an AFS cell xdriver=driver: use a specific driver for the Xserver cups=server: the CUPS server hostname=: set the hostname serviceon=s1[:s2:..]: enable service(s) s1,s2,.. serviceoff=s1[:s2:..]: disable service(s) s1,s2,.. 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.
