    Zenwalk Live description

    A lightweight linux distribution based on Slackware Linux.

    Zenwalk is a GNU/Linux operating system. Zenwalk is designed with the following objectives:

    - Be simple and fast
    - Provide one application for one task on the install CD
    - Be a complete development/desktop environment
    - Be small so that it can be distributed on a single CD

    What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

    · New xz compression squashfs 4.0 (now in vanilla kernel)
    · All new simple Installer and Live-scripts
    · On-the-fly optional live module activation during the running live session, thanks to aufs3 and my loader script
    · Persistent changes feature is now supported, even over network shares!
    · Besides standard Zenwalk package set, ZenLive provides some additional packages for more functionality
    · Additional language packs & full Japanese language input support
    · (should work for Korean and Chinese languages too)
    · Fluxbox window manager and related apps now included in ZenLive ISO to provide an alternative to Xfce4
    · nouveau driver included in kernel 3.2.5 is now enabled by default,
    · providing a _good_ 3D acceleration performance and support for a wide range of NVidia Cards (no need to ship the proprietary driver anymore )
    · Broadcom wifi STA proprietary driver (wl.ko) is shipped with this release as optional live module
    · New bootsplash theme (yes, still good old bootsplash; plymouth caused problems during my tests)
    · finally updated ZenLive manual addressing the changes introduced by switching to Slackware-live-scripts (don't expect a detailed guide, but the essentials are covered )
