45 <strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong>
46 <p>
47 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
48 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
49 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
50 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
51 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
52 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
53 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
54 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
55 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
56 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
57 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
58 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
59 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
60 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
61 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
62 <a href="../get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
63 official mirrors of the project.

67 <strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong>
68 <p>
69 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
70 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
71 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
72 from the internet using gPXE from
73 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
74 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
75 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
76 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
77 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
78 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
79 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
80 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
81 we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.php">flavors</a> for machines with less
82 resources. <a href="../get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

88 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
89 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
90 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
91 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
92 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
93 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
94 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides

96 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
97 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
98 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
