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

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

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