CHANGES SINCE SL6.2 LIVE

- software based on SL6.3
- add boot parameter eject, which ejects LiveCD/DVD at shutdown


NOTES

- For SL6 the way how the LiveCD was 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 done by anaconda similar to the normal SL6 installation.
All changes done during LiveCD usage are lost!
- You can install the LiveCD on an USB stick with persistent changes
using liveusb-creator included in SL6.
- To build your own LiveCD use livecd-tools from SL6.
