Change Log

beta-2008-06-11

Features:

• added Debian menus back (we had disabled them) so now there's access to all the apps within fluxbox
• started playing with Ubuntu's NetworkManager, it's not fully working yet
• switched to the OpenChrome graphics driver (Flash now works, if you install the plug-in...we can't install it by default because of Adobe's licensing policy forbidding it...Gnash (open source Flash) doesn't work with YouTube...)
• config screens now show the MAC address
• config allows you to use "current connection" if you have a working connection
• added symlinks to /cdrom/redpost_images/ so you can access the images directory when putting the flash drive in a Windows or Mac machines

Bug Fixes:

• 70-persistent-net.rules bug fixed for good
• added more user-friendly error messages in config
• fixed wired interface bug that kept it from working in certain circumstances
• added a network restart to init.php, just in case the network's not working on boot, with error messages

beta-2008-05-19

• fixed "blinky cursor bug" (freeze at boot)
• added sync to cron after boot and every 5 minutes -- helps prevent file corruption

• removed "eject tray" message at reboot
• other bug fixes
