Hi Everyone Elive 1.6 dev is out, it has a lot of improvements, and it looks really cool, it has the new kernel 2.6.24.2, also it has new nvidia and ati drivers on the iso so there is no need to download it from the site, on the live cd, it now supports autologin.
I currently have elive up and running on my desktop and laptop, and I just took out some screenshots of most of the programs I use in elive E programs that is [E programs = programs created by enlightenment developers]. all of the programs i take screen shot of are in elive by default or you need to download it via apt-get. ahh u can take a look at the change log at

Elive 1.6 Dev HACKED TO BE INSTALLED!!!
Frist load up the cd
open a terminal, login as root
open gparted and make a partiton for elive 1.6 to install on to remember the name [i recommend reiserfs filesystem ]
[e.g /dev/sda2] then exit
make a mount point for the partition [e.g /mnt/sda2 ]
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 -t $filesystem-type
mkdir /mnt/squashfs
mount /elive/.mnt/cdrom/system/filesystem.squashfs /mnt/squashfs -t squashfs -o loop
cp -a /mnt/squashfs/* /mnt/sda2
cp -a /elive/.mnt/cdrom/boot/* /mnt/sda2/boot
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda2 /dev/sda
mount --bind /dev /mnt/sda2/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/sda2/proc
chroot /mnt/sda2
update-initramfs -u

nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
on the line that you seekernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.2-elive-686 add " root=/dev/sda2 vga=788 " and remove any other options.
exit [THIS DO NOT MEAN EXIT THE TERMINAL, JUST TYPE EXIT TO EXIT CHROOT]
umount /mnt/sda2/dev
umount /mnt/sda2/proc
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /mnt/sda2/etc/X11/xorg.conf
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/sda2/etc/resolv.conf
