DetaolB v0.7 has been released 22nd,December 2007 http://prdownloads.sf.net/detaolb/detaolb_v07.iso (~48Mb)
DetaolB is a small size x86/uclibc distro, aimed mostly for emulators/virtualizers (like qemu). It also runs on real hardware and can be used on a bootable usb key (mandriva flash like). Changelog: - c++ is now fully supported (this is what took most of the time) - migration to uvesafb (works fine now on real hardware!) - iso boots now using grub4dos (this is needed for usb boot) - x11r72 was completely rebuilt (x11r73 does not work yet) - rox file manager added - possible to create a bootable usb key (I need to write a tutorial on this) - network is supported inside a qemu guest: you still need to perform once "udhcpc" - Rob Landley's fork of tinycc is back! - dillo can be used for surfing once network is enabled - many packages updated to the latest (like git & vim) - CREDITS added (thanks to contributors!) - foreign/custom keyboards will be in next release (sorry!) As of today, it's now possible to compile big & complex c++ software like firefox 2.0.0.11 ;-) [but you need xorg-dev to compile x11 apps: I kept it for next release] Yet, I feel this is too big to make it inside the standard iso: the firefox squashfs is about 10Mb... I'll let vox populi decide if you want it in the next release or not. xorg-dev is about 3Mb, so it will be available soon. Looking forward to get feedback on this iso and to get a wishlist for next release. PROGRESS, BUGS, SUGGESTIONS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last, but not least: Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all 3 mailing lists subscribers! -- Christian -- http://detaolb.sourceforge.net/, a linux distribution for Qemu with Git inside !
