To whom is this feature relevant?
-SSS users and resource owners

Please provide a one line description of the feature:
-Live CD image included in the SSS sandbox downloads

How would the new feature work (appear in use)?
The user would be able to burn the generated iso image to a CD and use it
as a live SSS resource.

How would the new feature be implemented?
Instead of providing a generic base iso and a separate writable disk image
with settings we could generate both. In that way the settings can be
included in the iso to allow it to be used alone as a live CD with an
optional disk or with the disk image in a VM. I've modified the iso boot
scripts to support custom disk location from the boot commandline and added
fallback to a ramdisk if no writable disk is available. Thus the iso image
is ready for use with or without a disk image if we just dynamically add
the sandboxkey and server file like we do in the disk image.

Please provide any additional information below.
The instructions for remastering the iso are included in
state/sss_home/MiG-SSS/README along with the iso customization data.
Generating the iso takes only about a second on my netbook so it is not a
big increase in generator time.
