51 <li><strong>31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support</strong>
52 <p>
53 The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the
54 LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months,
55 it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The
56 distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi
57 via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free
58 Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed).
59 WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so
60 mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the
61 heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it
62 allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated
63 according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to
64 be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been
65 applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool
66 (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more
67 than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can
68 <a href="../get/#cooking">download</a> this new version from one of the
69 official mirrors of the project.

72 <li><strong>16 Jul 2008 - Cooking 20080716 - Web boot and MPlayer</strong>
73 <p>
74 SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new
75 Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version
76 provides the boot option <code>web</code> which lets you boot SliTaz
77 from the internet using gPXE from
78 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>. This new
79 unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode
80 (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently
81 and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide:
82 a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase,
83 a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS
84 filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few
85 updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly,
86 we offer loram <a href="../get/flavors.php">flavors</a> for machines with less
87 resources. <a href="../get/#cooking">Download SliTaz Cooking ISO</a>.

90 <li><strong>26 Jun 2008 - Cooking 20080626 with new Kernel</strong>
91 <p>
92 Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June. A lot
93 of work has been done to improve user experience. This Cooking version
94 provides a new Kernel (2.6.25.5) with many new built-in drivers and
95 modules, linux package was also split to have a fairly modular Kernel.
96 Default user has changed to <code>tux</code> and the new option
97 <code>user=name</code> lets you choose the default user name. Most
98 of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides
99 some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in
100 text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and
101 a new function called zeroconf is available. Most packages are up-to-date
102 and Firefox 3.0 is part of the 25.2 Mb ISO. Cooking version can be
103 <a href="../get/#cooking">downloaded</a> from SliTaz mirror. Bugs can
104 be reported on SliTaz Bug Tracking System:
