Slax 6.0.1 was released yesterday, as
announced by Tomas Matejicek. This is an update for the recently launched (on February 12th)
Slax 6. This is a modern, small and fast Slackware-based distribution, translated in 28 languages.
Here are the changes featured in Slax 6.0.1: bugfix: Module Manager will display correct info about sliked modules
bugfix: activate refused to insert a module which was activated 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 busyboxs vi.
workaround: because Flash plugin with konqueror hangs even after recompiling KDE 3.5.9, disabled flash plugins in konqueror.
added madwifi wireless 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 performance
deleted some unneeded c++ files in the devel module to save few megabytes (actually 5)
Slax is available in two formats, as ISO and TAR archive. The first can be burnt on a CD, while the latter can be used on USB flash drives. Although this distribution has approximately 200 MB, it comes with KDE, K-Office, audio and video encoders, CD/DVD burning and ripping tools, multimedia players, a web browser, instant messenger and a lot more. Slax is translated in languages like Danish, Dutch, Galician, Greek, Croatian and many others.
