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

|
46 is as always downloadable from the website download section:
