Koha 3.8.6 Live CD Lite released

File size is 690 MB.

Upgrade to new version of Koha is now very easy with this Live CD. No need to execute lot of commands and editing various files to upgrade to a new version. Installation made from Koha package repository.
When new version of Koha available, you can upgrade Koha using only two commands in Terminal. It automatically download new release from Internet and will make necessary changes.

sudo apt-get upgrade
I stripped off many applications from Ubuntu 12.04 to reduce the size of the ISO file. So it is convenient to download from Internet. You can install other useful applications after the installation of Live CD. See some examples.
Gnumeric Spreadsheet
sudo apt-get install gnumeric
Gnome-Shell Desktop: for conventional Windows like desktop
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Log out and select gnome-shell desktop environment.
