pankso@776 85 <p>
pankso@621 86 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
pankso@621 87 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
pankso@621 88 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
pankso@621 89 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
pankso@621 90 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
pankso@621 91 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
pankso@621 92 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
pankso@621 93 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
pankso@621 94 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
pankso@621 95 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
pankso@621 96 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
pankso@621 97 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
pankso@621 98 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
pankso@621 99 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
pankso@621 100 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
pankso@621 101 <a href="../get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
pankso@621 102 official mirrors of the project.

pankso@776 105 <li><strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong>
pankso@776 106 <p>
pankso@621 107 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
pankso@621 108 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
pankso@621 109 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
pankso@621 110 from the internet using gPXE from
pankso@621 111 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
pankso@621 112 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
pankso@621 113 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
pankso@621 114 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
pankso@621 115 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
pankso@621 116 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
pankso@621 117 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
pankso@621 118 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
pankso@621 119 we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
pankso@621 120 resources. <a href="../get/index.html#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

pankso@776 124 <p>
pankso@621 125 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
pankso@621 126 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
pankso@621 127 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
pankso@621 128 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
pankso@621 129 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
pankso@621 130 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
pankso@621 131 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
pankso@621 132 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
pankso@621 133 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
pankso@621 134 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
pankso@621 135 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
pankso@621 136 <a href="../get/index.html#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
