Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. It is a bit long, but it is some good feedback.

Hi,
Good to hear that you like the SL mini_livecd. And thanks for the feedback!
I will try to answers some of your questions. Maybe I will come back
later with some more answers.
The initial idea of the mini_livecd was that it should fit on a real

I agree. It was however about the idea of making "something more" out of the
mini_livecd, which is already unique to SL.
