76 <h3>Important Changes</h3>
80 <li>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list no longer uses cdn.debian.net
81 for the Debian repository, instead uses snapshot.debian.org with the
82 according release date. This should make installation of additional
83 software with regards to additional dependencies easier for users.
85 <li>Debian's live-boot changed the path from /live/image to
86 /lib/live/mount/medium. If you're using /live/image anywhere inside
87 your own custom scripts please adopt your code to use /lib/live/mount/medium
88 starting with Grml 2013.02.
90 <li>Debian's live-boot changed some persistency related settings.
91 Please visit <a href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=persistency">
