Free software developer and more

Here comes a new draklive release, it's been a long time since the previous pre-2007.0 release. Developping Mandriva Flash required some new features, but also helped to stabilize my (precious) live creation tool.

There has been a bunch of changes, to sum up:

  • easier to create CD-Rom/USB boot images for live systems
  • easier to create 32 bits live systems from x86_64 host
  • improve writable loopbacks reliability on USB devices, by doing an early fsck check from initrd
  • support USB devices that need partition tables to be reread in initrd after a PIN code has been entered
  • improve live copy in (yet unused) live copy wizard
  • use config/live.cfg as default config file
  • allow to override settings from config/settings.cfg file using –define command line options
  • use drakx-in-chroot from the repository (instead of the locally installed one)
  • switch to wodim/genisoimage from the cdrkit project

See NEWS file for details.
