Bluewhite64 Linux 12.0-LiveDVD-r1 runs entirely from DVD and includes all packages from Bluewhite64 Linux 12.0 (except the Y software series) and the updated packages from the patches directory. Also, In addition to this version, I have included extra packages created by the Bluewhite64 Linux community. Thanks to all for such a great work!
The Live DVD was created using Linux Live scripts 6.1.5 and uses the AuFS (another unionfs) and Squashfs LZMA.
Let's try something new and different for this time. Sit back, relax and enjoy Bluewhite64 12.0-LiveDVD-r1 including the latest stable SMP Linux Kernel 2.6.24 with advanced features and performance. The Live DVD is designed to bring a modern Linux Desktop for a 64-bit architecture including the modularized X.org 7.2 with Compiz (including manager and extra plugins), the award winning KDE 3.5.8 in 65 languages, Openoffice.org 2.3, the Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 (flash ready) and Konqueror (java ready) web browsers, Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 and KMail 1.9.7 email clients, Swaret 1.6.3 and Qtswaret 0.1.5-3 package managers, digiKam 0.9.2 for digital photo management, the Krusader 1.80.0 Twin Panel File Manager, the MPlayer 1.0rc2 Media Player, the IA32 emulation to run 32-bit programs and many more server and desktop based programs.

Tips that you must read before using the LiveDVD-r1
1. There is no password set for "root" and "bluewhite64" users, just hit enter whenever the system is asking for password.
2. To run CLI applications that need root privileges you have to use 'sudo ' and for KDE applications you have to use 'kdesu '.
3. If you don't want to automatically mount your HDD partitions during boot then you have to use the 'noauto' boot option. This can be done at the boot menu by pressing the TAB and typing the parameter(s).
4. During the LiveDVD-r1 boot you will be asked to auto configure or not the X.org server. If you choose y (yes) then a new xorg.conf will be created with your hardware. If you choose n (no) then the xorg.conf VESA (default) config file will be used to start the X server.
5. You have to restart the network settings after using 'netmanager' with the '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart' command.
6. On some systems, the sound is muted by default. Check if Kmix is present near the clock and right click on it to adjust your sound settings.
7. ALICE managers can be found at the "Kmenu -> System" section. Thanks to the DARKSTAR Linux team for ALICE!
