Debian Live Lenny Beta1

The Debian Live team [1]announced the first beta of Debian Lenny's
Live images. This is the first official release of Debian Live CDs. The
main features are, that these Live images are build 100% with packages
in Debians main section and different flavours (GNOME, KDE and Xfce as
well as a small image without graphical environment.

Future releases should also contain an installation system, which is
not part of this beta1 version, since it still contains some minor
bugs. The images are created using [2]live-helper, a collection of
scripts helping to create these CD images. There is also a
[3]graphical front end for these script.
