Daily builds are no longer livecd images

Chris, I'm not sure what this post is telling me.

I visually compared the 20090525 subdirectory with the 20050519 
subdirectory - they both contain the same number of files (of 
comparable size).  And when I used 'copy-nand' to install the 
20090525.img file, my XO-1's nand contents did not seem organized 
any different from when I installed 20090519.img.

What does "no longer livecd images" mean ?

[Having now tried 20090525, I see that directory '/home/liveuser' 
has now reverted to '/home/user'.  Oh well - I'll just change all my 
customization scripts back to updating '/home/user'.]

Thanks,  mikus


p.s.  On my Ubuntu 9.04 system, I'm unable to run the 
'livecd-iso-to-xo' script (mounting the squashfs fails).
Could you perhaps ask Sebastian to get together with the Soas2 folks 
  - they currently release only a .iso file, which I could only 
install to an USB stick (where changes didn't persist).  It would be 
useful to me to be able to install Soas2 builds onto XO-1 nand, and 
be able to reboot and have changes persist from the previous time.
