Salix OS Xfce Live Changelog

What's new in Salix OS Xfce Live 14.2

Nov 14, 2016

This is the first Live release for the 14.2 series and is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
The live environment utilises our own Salix Live Scripts, which has been forked and improved from the original Slackware Live Scripts.
In terms of included software, this Live release mirrors the standard Salix Xfce 14.2 release. All software that is included there, like the Xfce 4.12 desktop, Mozilla Firefox, the Libreoffice suite, the collection of Salix System Tools etc, are also included in this release. Some additional software, specific to the Live Edition is also included. That of course includes the Salix Live Installer, which has been updated for this release and allows the user to install SalixLive to the system's hard drive.
Thanks to our translators, the live system can now be started in Czech, Danish, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and of course English (both US and UK variants).
The live system automatically logs into the Xfce Desktop with user "one". If you need a password to launch applications with sudo powers, that is also "one". The root user is disabled as with the standard release.
