al@1025 29 <strong>4 November 2009 - New Cooking 20091104</strong>
pankso@923 30 <p>SliTaz contributors are proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
pankso@923 31 ISO image based on over 2100 packages available in the SliTaz repository.
pankso@923 32 The full system has been rebuilt with a new toolchain using Glibc 2.10.1
pankso@923 33 and GCC 4.4.1. This new Cooking uses the Linux kernel 2.6.30.6 with better
pankso@923 34 hardware support and more built-in modules. The boot process has been further
pankso@923 35 improved and the boot time is now faster than ever. Major packages found on
pankso@923 36 the LiveCD such as Firefox have been updated to the current stable version.
pankso@923 37 Home-made GUI boxes have been enhanced. Tazpkg packages manager supports new
pankso@923 38 features including the conversion of deb/rpm/arch/slackware/ipk packages to
pankso@923 39 Slitaz native format. The ISO image includes a new Openbox, GTK and icons
pankso@923 40 theme for an elegant and more beautiful desktop. We have also removed
pankso@923 41 ePDFview and switched to an online PDF viewer. This ISO image, however,
pankso@923 42 is a bit bigger than 30 Mb (31.5) due to a bigger Kernel and many new
pankso@923 43 dependencies.</p>
pankso@923 44 <p>We would also like to announce that the SliTaz project has a new
pankso@923 45 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">support forum</a> and a new
pankso@923 46 <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/">community platform</a> where
pankso@923 47 everyone is welcome to share and to get involved! This new Cooking ISO
pankso@923 48 is as always downloadable from the website download section:

pankso@923 59 etc...
pankso@923 60 </p>
pankso@923 61 <p>
pankso@923 62 During the 3 days, the exhibition stand will be manned by members
