6.1.2 - upgraded Slax kernel to 2.6.27.27, which contains many bugfixes - added xz package (LZMA compressor/decompressor) - added support for txz Slackware packages - upgraded midnight commander to understand txz packages - fixed incorrect reporting of module file path in Slax Module Manager (if size of module was smaller than 1MB, it didn't show module file at all) - fixed incorrect slaxsave.dat (the 1GB one), thanks to forum user att - added 2GB slaxsave.dat file to the zip archive - added FireFox 3.5.1, as a separated module 007-firefox.lzm This version integrates itself into KDE - added Slax Drive support, see www.slax.org/slax-tools.php for more info 6.1.1 - fixed handling of SATA devices by compiling IDE_GENERIC driver as a module instead putting it inside the kernel directly - added support for some ATHEROS and IWLWIFI devices - ocfs is now compiled as a kernel module since I was told it's better that way - upgraded Flash Player plugin to version 9.0.159 6.1.0 - no more new features will be added to Slax 6.x, only bugfixes - added fake XDM to 002-xorg, so it will start fluxbox if KDE is not present - upgraded to Slackware-current as of the last changes before KDE4 were in - added new wallpaper - fixed a lot of fluxbox-related bugs, now even fluxbox can select accurate (preferred) screen resolution and play a startup sound 6.0.9 - upgraded to Slackware-12.2 - upgraded to Linux Kernel 2.6.27.8 - upgraded samba-stripped, added libcap - fixed a bug in unsquashfs (lzm2dir) which happened on SMP machines - removed bluez* packagess 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 It has been replaced by linLd, which allows us to boot Slax from DOS again - autodetect and automount LVM partitions.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=::: - 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 - upgraded to newest Slackware's packages, newest Xorg, newest Kernel 2.6.24.2, newest KDE 3.5.8 - most changelog entries are missing 5.1.8.1 - fixed samba ioslave for kde 5.1.8 - added KDE 3.5.4 - probeusb parameter now sleeps 6 seconds to wait for USB devices - probeusb accepts value in seconds, like probeusb=10 (wait 10 seconds) - added changes=slaxsave.dat boot option so slax automatically saves changes to a file called slaxsave.dat, if it exists in any partition's root You may overide this default by your own changes=... - added slaxsave.zip to SLAX CD. This archive contains pre-builded loop filesystems (size 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB). Just unpack your desired file to the root of some partition and SLAX will save changes to it. (doesn't work on NTFS as SLAX mounts NTFS readonly yet) - added NTFS-3g beta, mount your NTFS partitions with 100% writable support! - dhcpcd now waits 10 seconds for IP. People reported 5 seconds is not enough. - KDE icons in taskbar: removed ICQ icon (kopete) and added k3b icon - fixed problem with some missing partitions (usually swaps) in fstab - popcorn edition - use 1024x768 as default screen resolution 5.1.7 - fixed fluxbox startup script - added helvetica R10 font to stop FireFox crashing when rightclick on Flash - modified LC_ALL=C (moved to profile.d/lang.sh) - guest user removed at all, including /home/guest directory - fixed halt (poweroff) procedure - killbill edition: updated WINE, dosbox and qemu 5.1.7rc2 - /etc/shadow - fixed file permissions - the 'fromiso=' cheatcode is now renamed to 'from=' because it accepts also full device path or directory path (from=/dev/hda1/slax/) - rc.local is now called as the last startup script. - added bold and italic DejaVu fonts - upgraded to fluxbox 1.0rc1, fluxbox theme modified to use DejaVu fonts - added mplayer 1.0pre8 with new xVid codecs, settings changed to use DejaVu fonts - added default subtitle encoding for mplayer (cp1250), change it in /root/.mplayer/config - added a feature to manage modules by using context menu (thanks to Matiee) - added back kernel 2.6.16(.22) - added noswap boot parameter to disable autoloading of a swap parition - fixed from=/dev/... paths - fixed comma and semicolon replacement in load= and noload= params - fixed linuxrc searching for data (dirname), thanks to Niels Endres - load= and noload= are now case-insensitive, thanks to Niels Endres - added -f option to syslinux in make_disk.bat, which allows user to install SLAX to any disk, even if it's not removable - fixed starting Xwindow with copy2ram cheatcode - added 'cleanup' script call to properly unmount all devices used while 'changes=' and 'from='. 5.1.7rc1 - added fromiso= boot argument. You may use fromiso=slax.iso to search through the whole disk, or fromiso=/dev/sda1/slax.iso to search only on hda1 - added noauto boot argument, to disable automounting of disks - SLAX doesn't start if you copy it to harddisk to a subdirectory. Use fromiso= in the case you wish to boot slax from disk this way (fromiso=/dev/sda1/SLAX/) - modified changes= cheatcode to accept device names with path, 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 and all its subdirectories! - load= and noload= now officially work as regexp, you may use * which is translated to '.*'.
