|

|
pankso@923
|
31 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
|
pankso@923
|
32 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
|
pankso@923
|
33 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
|
pankso@923
|
34 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
|
pankso@923
|
35 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
|
pankso@923
|
36 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
|
pankso@923
|
37 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
|
pankso@923
|
38 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
|
pankso@923
|
39 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
|
pankso@923
|
40 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
|
pankso@923
|
41 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
|
pankso@923
|
42 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
|
pankso@923
|
43 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
|
pankso@923
|
44 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
|
pankso@923
|
45 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
|
al@1009
|
46 <a href="../get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
|
pankso@923
|
47 official mirrors of the project.

|
pankso@923
|
53 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
|
pankso@923
|
54 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
|
pankso@923

|
56 from the internet using gPXE from

pankso@923
|
57 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
|
pankso@923
|
58 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
|
pankso@923
|
59 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
|
pankso@923
|
60 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
|
pankso@923
|
61 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
|
pankso@923
|
62 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
|
pankso@923
|
63 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
|
pankso@923
|
64 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
