146 standards (drag and drop), network booting with gPXE and
147 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>, automatic detection
148 of USB and PCI devices, a GUI package manager and control center, and various
149 graphical tools to manage the distribution. The creation of USB media and
150 bootable LiveCD flavors is also simplified and greatly improved. The core
151 LiveCD includes Firefox 3.0.8, gFTP, LostIRC, ePDFView, mtPaint, Transmission,
152 Osmo and Alsaplayer. The website documentation has been updated and you can read the

186 <li><strong>28 Feb 2009 - New Cooking 20090228</strong><br />
187 Getting ready for the next stable release! - The SliTaz project is proud
188 to publish a new Cooking version with a lot of bug fixes, updates, improvements
189 and new features. PCI/USB device auto-detection is now handled by Tazhw and
190 firmware can be installed in one click through a graphical interface.
191 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
192 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
193 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
194 Netbox displays all interfaces and the new Wifibox can connect to
195 wireless essids, manage favorite networks and configure card drivers
196 manually or through Tazhw. The desktop has a GUI to enable or disable
197 applications started with an Openbox session and Ivman with desktopkbox
198 provides a lightweight notification system. You can
199 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new ISO image from one of the
200 official mirrors of the website.
201 </li>
202 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong><br />
203 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
204 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
205 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
206 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
207 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
208 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
209 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
210 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
211 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
212 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
213 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
214 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
215 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
216 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
217 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
218 <a href="get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
219 official mirrors of the project.

221 <li><strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong><br />
222 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
223 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
224 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
225 from the internet using gPXE from
226 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
227 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
228 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
229 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
230 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
231 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
232 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
233 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
234 we offer loram <a href="get/flavors.html">flavors</a> for machines with less
235 resources. <a href="get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

237 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong><br />
238 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
239 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
240 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
241 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
242 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
243 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
244 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
245 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
246 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and

314 <li><strong>16 Dec 2007 - SliTaz English forum</strong><br />
315 The project is proud the announce the availability of an
316 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English forum</a>
317 providing help and support to users speaking English. Since the project
318 is French based, we get a lot of feedback and requests from the English
319 speaking community that we want to honour. The forum has its own domain
320 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>. The default
321 interface is in French but settings can be changed when you login with your
322 account. The crew is also working on the lack of English documentation.
323 Help and assistance are greatly welcomed in the project.
324 </li>
325 <li><strong>06 Dec 2007 - 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster!</strong><br />
326 2 days for a new ISO that boots twice faster. With the new lzma compression
327 boot time has gone down, we worked hard these two days to improve boot speed
328 and finally get SliTaz to boot twice as fast. So we uploaded a new LiveCD with a
329 new Kernel patch for lzma and a bug fix for boot messages. Some
330 tests gave us the LiveCD booting between 20 to 30 seconds on recent PCs
331 and between 60 to 80 on older hardware.

334 <li><strong>04 Dec 2007 - New Cooking with sound support and more options</strong><br />
335 SliTaz crew is proud to announce the availability of a new SliTaz Cooking
336 release. It's finally not the expected stable release because we decided
337 to add some more hardware support on the LiveCD, like sound and PCMCIA
338 support. A new roadmap is on the stove and a stable release should be expected
339 in March 2008, matching one year of the first SliTaz public release. This will
340 also give us time to bring you a rock solid stable version with all these new
341 features and more than 240 packages on the mirror. So, this new SliTaz
342 release brings you Alsa with its mixer, Alsaplayer, mpg123, Gcolor2,
343 pcmciautils, and a new Kernel. SliTaz also provides new options to use at
344 boot time and isapnptools for very old hardware like IBM GL300 6272/6282 or
345 P133/32M. All this new stuff fits in an ISO image of 22,4 Mb. The Simple
346 Light Incredible... SliTaz (cooking) LiveCD can be obtained
347 on SliTaz mirror. <a href="get/#cooking">Download</a>. Enjoy!</li>
