* Better compression due to Squashfs
* ACPI and DMA enabled by default (can be disabled with acpi=off and nodma respectively)
* i586 optimization - not for use with older CPUs!
* 128 MB RAM required, 256 MB RAM recommended
* New: Fixed GRUB to avoid GRUB Error 21
* New: Improved SCSI CDROM boot (with bootscsi cheat)
* New: Unionfs support (activate with unionfs cheat)
* New: NVIDIA and RADEON scripts work in live mode (like sudo install-nvidia|radeon-debian.sh)
