+++++++++++++++++++++++ Overview

The CentOS-6.4 LiveDVD and LiveCD are meant to be a Linux environment suited to be run directly from either Optical media or USB storage devices. It does not need any persistent storage on a machine, which also makes it a suitable recovery environment.

Once you download the images, its important to verify contents using the sha256sum utility, against the published sums here.

+++++++++++++++++++++++ Notes

You can now install the Live environment to your hard disk (which wasn?t possible with the 5.x Live medias). Please note that you need more that 512Mb of ram to be able to use that ?install to hard drive? feature (If you have less than 512Mb of ram, you can install to disk but in text-mode, meaning that instead of clicking on the desktop icon, you have to launch a gnome-terminal and launch the ?liveinst? command from within the terminal)

There is no upstream Live media product. The Live media produced within the CentOS Project is based on and around the livemedia tools from the Fedora Project.

These LiveCD and LiveDVD only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution.

We appreciate all forms of feedback about these LiveDVD, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ).

Enjoy!
