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

49 <strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong>
50 <p>
51 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
52 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
53 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
54 from the internet using gPXE from
55 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
56 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
57 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
58 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
59 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
60 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
61 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
62 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
63 we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.php">flavors</a> for machines with less
64 resources. <a href="../get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

68 <strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong>
69 <p>
70 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
71 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
72 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
73 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
74 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
75 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
76 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
77 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
78 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
79 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
80 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
81 <a href="../get/#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
82 be reported on SliTaz Bug Tracking System:
