- 6.0.8
-
- - upgraded to Linux Kernel 2.6.27.6
- - upgraded to KDE 3.5.10
- - upgraded to Slackware-current
- - upgraded to squashfs 3.4 including the tools (Thanks to Petr Vokac!)
- - added support to start Slax as a PXE server (in the boot menu)
- - loadlin didn't work anymore due to big filesize of vmlinuz and initrd.
- It has been replaced by linLd, which allows us to boot Slax from DOS again
- - autodetect and automount LVM partitions. Suppress by 'noauto' boot parameter
- - cleanum /union/mnt/ directory (delete all empty directories every boot)
- - if 'ip=' boot parameter is present, initialize network drivers, request
- the IP address from DHCP server and mount live data over HTTP from the server
- provided as a second argument to the ip= boot param (separated by semicolon)
- Usually, the ip= parameter is auto-added by pxelinux, and it looks like:
- ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>
- - udev-fstab-update: added mutex lock to make sure only one instance
- of the script runs at the same time (udev starts them in parallel).
- A forum user 'specialist' thinks that parallel execution may break fstab
- - Archives for static linking (*.a) moved to devel module
- - implemented a posixovl workaround, which executes 'find' on the directory
- with changes. This may slow down the boot a bit, but it seems to be enough
- in order to make sure the posixovl filesystem behaves correctly all the time.
- It initiates correct caches and doesn't make aufs confused anymore.
-
-
- 6.0.7
-
- - Slax and all its parts are now Upgraded to Slackware 12.1
- - some enhancements to activate script to autostart correct startup scripts
- - better GTK integration - using KDE icons is prefered
- - when a module is already activated and activate is called again, show Yes/No dialog allowing to deactivate
-
-
-
- 6.0.6
-
- - updated Flash Player to the latest version
- - recompiled KDE to fix some older FLAC dependencies
- - added libidl
-
-
- 6.0.5
-
- - fixed alsa mixer settings when booting Slax on several different computers
- with changes enabled
- - some slik:// fixes. Two things were needed - httpfs was modified to stop
- refusing O_RWRO in the open() call, and also losetup is now monitored
- in linux live scripts and if error is returned, losetup -r is tried
- afterwards. Note, losetup -r is available in Slackware since util-linux-ng
- were added.
- - upgraded to Slackware current again, which fixes some bugs in glibc.
- - reordered the installed Slackware packages to prevent some gtk+2 problems
-
-
- 6.0.4
-
- - stripped the 'samba-stripped' package even more, while adding smbspool
- and upgrading to the newest version, this should enable printing on
- shared Windows printers
- - recompiled kernel against new gcc
- - several packages moved from 003-desktop to 002-xorg:
- rdesktop, librsvg, libgsf, xaw3d, lm_sensors, fluxbox
- - kommander (kmdr-executor) moved from 004-kdeapps to 003-desktop
- - nopcmcia boot parameter fixes again (for the third time!)
- - updated to Slackware-current
- - sound volumes are now adjusted like in alsaconfig
- - Slax now uses original alsa packages from Slackware
-
-
- 6.0.3
-
- - fixed nopcmcia again, sorry for that
- - added /etc/hardwareclock (set to localtime)
- - removed gnutls package, I have no idea why this was even included
- - added wpa_supplicant
- - recompiled KDE components
- - upgraded to Slackware-current
- - fixed a bug in sqlzma, which may cause (in rare conditions) data corruption
- - bugfix: sgnfile= boot parameter was not working
- - bugfix: sqlzma kernel driver suffered a problem which is fixed now
- - make_iso.sh now works even if called from a different directory
-
-
- 6.0.2
-
- - make activate and deactivate work even without k{activate/deactivate}
- - Slackware's gtk+2 update fixes the buggy flash in konqueror. So the plugin
- is now enabled by default again.
- - microphone audio channels are not unmuted by default, this bug has been
- introduced in 6.0.1, sorry for that
- - module manager and network-config chmoded to be executable, introduced in
- 6.0.1 as well, caused KDE to show annoying dialog.
- - hopefully fixed the nopcmcia boot parameter
-
-
-
- 6.0.1
-
- - bugfix: Module Manager will display correct info about slik'ed modules
- - bugfix: activate refused to insert a module which was activater last time (before reboot)
- because of some empty mountpoints left. This is now fixed
- - bugfix: /etc/slax-version now shows correct version number
- - bugfix: trash bin was not empty
- - bugfix: swap partitions were not auto activated due to a bug in linux live scripts
- - bugfix: raise sound volume for 'front', 'center' and 'side' channels too
- - kdeglobals set to force konqueror to follow slik:// addresses without asking
- - For a popular demand for at least a stripped version of vi in Slax, symlinked vi from busybox.
- Slax will not have vi as default, but the 'vi' command will call the busybox's vi.
- - workaround: because Flash plugin with konqueror hangs even after recompiling KDE 3.5.9,
- disabled flash plugins in konqueror. I have no idea how to fix that.
- - added madwifi drivers version 0.9.4
- - added memtest 2.1
- - make posixovl less sceptic (use kernel cache and set relookup timeouts to 300 seconds)
- in order to get 2x better performace
- - delete some unneeded gcc++ files to save few megabytes
-
-
- 6.0.0
-
- - added new Linux Live scripts with aufs instead of unionfs
- - aufs provides 100% stability and reliability. If you ever saw a kernel oops
- in Slax, this should never happen anymore thanks to unionfs replacement: aufs
- - squashfs now supports LZMA compression, so Slax is a lot of smaller!
- - using udev instead of hotplug to autodetect and autoload device drivers

- loop filesystems (size 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB). Just unpack your

- (doesn't work on NTFS as SLAX mounts NTFS readonly yet)
- - added NTFS-3g beta, mount your NTFS partitions with 100% writable support!

- for example changes=/dev/sda1/changes.dat
- - fixed load= parameter which were broken in 5.4.5
- - modules are now found in /base /modules and /optional directories
