"One of the great things about this new livedvd besides that it contains |
| 10 |
over 1200 packages is that it now supports full / persistency meaning |
| 11 |
that you can boot this livedvd, make tweaks as you like and reboot while |
| 12 |
retaining those changes. It's more like a Gentoo to Go if you ask me. " |

and |

"Another great feature which will be ported to all minimal install cds |
| 15 |
is support for UEFI. This image even boots on MAC OSX hardware! Yes you |
| 16 |
heard it right! " |
