73 <h3>Important Changes</h3>
77 <li>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list no longer uses cdn.debian.net
78 for the Debian repository, instead uses snapshot.debian.org with the
79 according release date. This should make installation of additional
80 software with regards to additional dependencies easier for users.
82 <li>Debian's live-boot changed the path from /live/image to
83 /lib/live/mount/medium. If you're using /live/image anywhere inside
84 your own custom scripts please adopt your code to use /lib/live/mount/medium
85 starting with Grml 2013.02-rc1.
87 <li>Debian's live-boot changed some persistency related settings.
