al@1025 29 <strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong>
pankso@923 30 <p>
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 52 <p>
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 55 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
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,
al@1009 65 we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.php">flavors</a> for machines with less
al@1009 66 resources. <a href="../get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.
