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

|
|
pankso@923
|
73 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently

|
pankso@923
