AdvanceCD v1.1.0 has been released at :

	http://advancemame.sourceforge.net

Advance CD is a bootable ISO image of a minimal Linux
distribution containing the AdvanceMAME and AdvanceMESS
emulators and the AdvanceMENU frontend.

You can boot this CD in any PC and play the contained games
without any installation. The default distribution contains
the arcade games Gridlee, Poly Play and Robby Roto and it
uses only 16 Mbyte leaving the whole CD for your roms.

This is the list of changes:

* Added detailed instructions on how to add roms
  at the CD.
* Added isapnptools/pciutils/usbutils to detect
  PnP/PCI/USB hardware. This reduces a lot the
  boot time.
* Updated AdvanceMAME 0.66.0, AdvanceMESS 0.66.0.0 and
  AdvanceMENU 2.2.4. This solves the problem with
  the 3dfx video boards, add a global volume control,
  and fixes a FrameBuffer color problem.
* Removed the old not PnP hardware detection.
  The boot is now a lot faster.
* Added a preliminary Linux Frame Buffer support.
  You can select it at boot time. Try it
  if the SVGALIB video drivers are not working.
* Added SCSI support.
* Removed support to boot from floppy.
* Upgraded the ALSA library 0.9.1.
* Added some patches at the SVGALIB 1.9.17 library to
  solve some possible problems.
* The emulators are now configured to exit after 3 minutes of
  inactivity.
