It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months, it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed). WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can download this new version from one of the official mirrors of the project. http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/#cooking http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/ Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:50:00 GMT SliTaz project members are proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking version, including many new features and bug fixes. This version provides the boot option web which lets you boot SliTaz from the internet using gPXE from boot.slitaz.org. This new unique service offers the possibility to use SliTaz in Live mode (all in RAM), using the Live options to store your data permanently and preconfigure the system. This new Cooking takes an extra 3 Mb so we can provide: a multimedia player with MPlayer, a notes manager with Notecase, a new version of Tazpkg package manager with md5sum support, XFS filesystem support built into the Kernel, a 'man' command and a few updates. This version requires at least 160 Mb to boot and run properly, we offer loram flavors for machines with less resources. http://www.slitaz.org/en/ http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/ Sun, 28 Jun 2008 10:50:00 GMT Summer time is here and also the new Cooking from the 26 June.

Default user has changed to tux and the new option user=name lets you choose the default user name. Most of the Slitaz utils and tools have been improved: tazpkgbox provides some new commands for package management and bootfloppybox can be used in text mode, Netbox wifi and PPPoE support are now both working well and a new function called zeroconf is available.
