Overview

 

The CentOS-6.1 LiveDVD is meant to be a Linux environment suited to be

run directly from either DVD media or USB storage devices. It does not

need any persistent storage on a machine, which also makes it a suitable

recovery environment.

 

The LiveDVDs are setup to run as full desktop environments and include

most of the applications used in this role.

Notes

 

You can now install the Live environment to your hard disk (which wasnÂ’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 LiveDVD only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1

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
