Maybe tomorrow

Well, 0.3.4 is pretty much working for me ...

Changes;

  • Installer is now flash_key.sh (Zenity)
  • Package manager is flash_install.sh (dialog)
  • SMB share browsing now works on the base system
  • The base system should leave ~ 100Mb free on a 256Mb key
  • Base system has been customised including a notification area (by default) , the Noia Icon set and the Glider theme.
  • Optional packages now include;
    abiword
    firestarter
    gnumeric
    hfsmodem
    modem
    openoffice
    samba
    speedtouch
    wireless
    ethereal
    gimp
    gparted
    ipw2200
    nessus
    planner
    slmodem
    vim
  • Lots of misc fixes, including a complete re-write of /linuxrc (we now implement the proper chroot/init handoff ..
  • Kernel revision is now 2.6.11 (this still contains a hacked JFFS2/MTD driver as the kernel tree is still broken)
  • Login splash screen has been customised
  • We have a new Noia-style login screen
  • We have a "nodisc" flash to enable bootup "without" the code that scans and sets up links to local drives
  • The local drive detection code has been fixed and should no longer hang in "certain circumstances"
  • Reiser (3) and ext (3) filesystems should now mount and run properly
  • VFAT filesystem should now work as a /home without issue
  • file_roller made it into the base system
  • gedit is now also available in the base system
  • The whole package now "looks" nicer with regards to the default configuration
  • The whole package should work "out of the box" on twice as many systems in terms of the boot process and hardware detection
