Salix Live KDE 14.0.1 beta1
Posted: 9. Aug 2013, 11:23
And here it is Salix Live KDE 14.0.1 beta1
This version is build using SaLT developed in house by JRD in order to build Live CDs in a more dynamic fashion with very little modifications from the host system.
Livekernel is 3.2.45.
The software included in this release is exactly the same as that present in the standard Salix KDE 14.0.1 release (KDE 4.8.5) with the following additions:
isomaster, for managing ISO files;
gparted, for managing partitions;
grub2-1.99 for a beautiful boot menu and options;
lilosetup, to repair a failed lilo boot setup;
liveclone 0.12.14.0, for creating your own custom live CD/USB;
liveclone has been updated to work with new SaLT.
persistence-wizard, for creating a persistence file in order to keep changes upon reboot in the live environment;
remmina, for connecting to RDP server (like Windows or VirtualBox 4+), VNC server, NX server, SSH/SCP;
salix-live-installer 0.4.2 for installing Salix on a hard disk.
xorriso is used to make the live iso. Liveiso is hybrid. You can use dd method or install-on-USB or liveclone to create a live usb.
The default browser is now QupZilla, in place of Mozilla Firefox. QupZilla is a Qt-based browser that uses the webkit rendering engine that is fast, feature complete and standards compliant and it fits perfectly inside KDE.
The default root password is live
You don't need a password for the regular and auto-logged in user one
