141 standards (drag and drop), network booting with gPXE and
142 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>, automatic detection
143 of USB and PCI devices, a GUI package manager and control center, and various
144 graphical tools to manage the distribution. The creation of USB media and
145 bootable LiveCD flavors is also simplified and greatly improved. The core
146 LiveCD includes Firefox 3.0.8, gFTP, LostIRC, ePDFView, mtPaint, Transmission,
147 Osmo and Alsaplayer. The website documentation has been updated and you can read the

181 <li><strong>28 Feb 2009 - New Cooking 20090228</strong><br />
182 Getting ready for the next stable release! - The SliTaz project is proud
183 to publish a new Cooking version with a lot of bug fixes, updates, improvements
184 and new features. PCI/USB device auto-detection is now handled by Tazhw and
185 firmware can be installed in one click through a graphical interface.
186 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
187 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
188 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
189 Netbox displays all interfaces and the new Wifibox can connect to
190 wireless essids, manage favorite networks and configure card drivers
191 manually or through Tazhw. The desktop has a GUI to enable or disable
192 applications started with an Openbox session and Ivman with desktopkbox
193 provides a lightweight notification system. You can
194 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new ISO image from one of the
195 official mirrors of the website.
196 </li>
197 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
198 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
199 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
200 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
201 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
202 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
203 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
204 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
205 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
206 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
207 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
208 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
209 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
210 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool

212 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
213 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
214 official mirrors of the project.

217 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new

219 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
220 from the internet using gPXE from

224 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
225 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
226 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
227 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
228 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,

309 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
310 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
311 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
312 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
313 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
314 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
315 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
316 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
317 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
318 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.
319 </li>
320 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
321 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
322 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
323 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
324 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
325 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
326 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.

329 <li><strong>04 Dec 2007 - New Cooking with sound support and more options</strong><br />
330 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
331 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
332 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
333 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
334 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
335 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
336 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
337 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
338 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at
339 boot time and isapnptools for very old hardware like IBM GL300 6272/6282 or
340 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
341 Light Incredible... SliTaz (cooking) LiveCD can be obtained
342 on SliTaz mirror. <a href="get/#cooking">Download</a>. Enjoy!</li>
