+S2SS LiveUSB Image
+===================================================================
+
+This archive contains an image of Fedora installation
+which has been tuned for low latency and overall performance.
+It facilitates the setup of a S2SS instance and is designed to be used
+by partners of the Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems (ACS).
+
+This image will automatically request an IP address via DHCP
+and create a SSH tunnel to the central orchestration server.
+This allows further configuration and control.
+
+The default credentials are:
+
+	User: root
+	Password: s2ss-admin
+
+Copy image with bundled tool [1] to a USB stick or a harddisk.
+The image is about 2GB in size.
+IMPORTANT: All contents of the stick will be wiped! Make backups!
