Mono Live LiveCD Beta Release 
Monday October 3 2005 10:30 PM

We have uploaded a new iso image of the Mono Live LiveCD.

This release sports the following updates:
•    Mono 1.1.8.3
•    Mono WinForms demos
•    ASP.NET 2.0 sSupport and demos
•    Banshee
•    Boo (0.5.6) and the MonoDevelop Boo Add-in

The following enhancements have been added to the Windows side of the disc:
•    Mono 1.1.8.3
•    SharpDevelop August Beta Refresh
•    The BOO Add-in for SharpDevelop (0.6)

A lot of effort has been put into ensuring that this release runs solidly; however, as this release is built on a pre-release distro (Ubuntu Breezy Colony5), it should be considered Beta Software.  Please post any suggestions, comments, questions, or issues in the Mono Live Forums.

There will be an updated final release shortly after the final release of Ubuntu Breezy.
