pankso@923 46 <p>
pankso@923 47 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
pankso@923 48 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
pankso@923 49 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
pankso@923 50 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
pankso@923 51 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
pankso@923 52 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
pankso@923 53 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
pankso@923 54 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
pankso@923 55 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
pankso@923 56 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
pankso@923 57 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
pankso@923 58 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
pankso@923 59 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
pankso@923 60 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
pankso@923 61 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
al@1009 62 <a href="../get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
pankso@923 63 official mirrors of the project.

pankso@923 68 <p>
pankso@923 69 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
pankso@923 70 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
pankso@923 71 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
pankso@923 72 from the internet using gPXE from
pankso@923 73 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
pankso@923 74 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
pankso@923 75 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
pankso@923 76 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
pankso@923 77 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
pankso@923 78 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
pankso@923 79 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
pankso@923 80 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
al@1009 81 we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.php">flavors</a> for machines with less
al@1009 82 resources. <a href="../get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.
