Slax 6 - release candidate
Hello Slackers and Slaxers :)
A release candidate of Slax 6 is available, based on Slackware current
with Xorg 7.2 (XGL ready) and development module bundled in.
In order to download Slax 6, visit
ftp://ftp.slax.org/SLAX-6.x/rc1/
Slax is now available in two forms:
- ISO file: to burn to a CD media
- TAR file: to extract directly to your USB Flash Drive
If you decide to use TAR, make sure to run /boot/bootinst.sh
(or /boot/bootinst.bat from Windows) after you unpack it to your device,
to make your Flash Drive bootable.
Known bugs: module manager doesn't work at all yet, so you can't add modules
on the fly. But adding them to ISO (or directly copying to USB Flash Drive
to /modules/ directory) works. Slax currently supports maximum of 1023 modules.
If you like to report a bug or feature request, please write to
tomas@slax.org, don't reply to this email.
Thank you very much for testing Slax!
Enjoy! :)
Yours
