New version of Slax pocket operating system has been released. Improvements and fixes include:
added 'load=' and 'noload=' boot parameter support to filter loaded modules. The first parameter (load=) affects only modules from /slax/modules/ directory - if specified, only those modules matching the pattern are loaded. The other one (noload=) affects all modules, even the core ones. You can use regular expression pattern, for example noload=kde|devel|ffoxbetter bootinst.sh compatibility with ubuntu and its clones, since those have different default shell which behaves a bit differently than I expectedPXE now tries to get Slax data over TFTP (from the same server) if http connection to port 7529 fails, so you don't need to have a dedicated HTTP server running for PXE if you don't need the best performance (tftp is slow)fixed a bug which appeared when using from=... to load Slax from a path which included a directory with two letters, like /os/.fixed URL open in KDE (using %u in exec command in firefox.desktop), so clicking a link in pidgin for example opens it in firefox instead of downloading the URL by kde kioslave. Thanks to Manfred M. for the suggestionsupport for special files in Slax Bundles. Content of file /run/activate.sh gets executed on activate, content of /run/deactivate.sh gets executed on module deactivation. File attributes don't matter at all, so there is no need to set them executable.the autobuild system now adds a file /run/requires to all modules which require other modules. This file is used by 'slax activate' command to recognize and activate all dependencies automatically.even more improved X autodetection. Tries to fallback to modesetting driver if X -configure fails to produce a working xorg.conf file, and fallbacks to vesa driver if modesetting is not available.deactivation of Slax module now removes the module file, unless you deactivate it with the real filename as argument - then it is keptadded unRAR support (compiled from official unrar sources)provide rightclick menu option to activate / deactivate Slax bundles in dolphinhide loop devices from showing in dolphin by udev rulebuildscript now requires description, it is no longer optionalfixed korean support (added missing font to korean module)
