slim_install cluster is used when LiveCD is being created by Distribution
constructor (DC) - it pulls LiveCD bits into DC 'proto' area. slim_install
should be removed before LiveCD ISO image is finally created as it is
not needed on LiveCD itself - installation is done by copying the content
of LiveCD to the target.

Thank you,
