82 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong>
83 <p>
84 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
85 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
86 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
87 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
88 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
89 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
90 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
91 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
92 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
93 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
94 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
95 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
96 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
97 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
98 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
99 <a href="../get/index.html#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
100 official mirrors of the project.

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

121 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong>
122 <p>
123 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
124 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
125 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
126 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
127 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
128 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
129 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
130 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
131 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
132 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
133 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
134 <a href="../get/index.html#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
135 be reported on SliTaz Bug Tracking System:
