Porteus

As you probably know Porteus-3.0 is approaching (Slackware-14.1 was released few days ago) and it's also Christmas time so if you have any special wish regarding new release please post it here.
It could be anything (ofc request like 'please change KDE4 maintainer' will be rejected) so please tell us what would you like to change/improve/add/remove in the the next release.

Thanks guys.

Hi fanthom,

Can include WIFI Direct hardware support?

Porteus Cluster
what about?

*QT5 (x86/x64) compatible with Q4
*multilib gcc for Porteus x64
*add src2pkg

Better printer support.

I don't have new hardware but this might help others with newer .http://kroah.com/log/blog/2013/09/02/bo ... ux-kernel/ hardware, also https://plus.google.com/111049168280159 ... 125gZL7vEn

For sure fanthom has this already for 3.0! You just are being indiscret!

My question is: what do we make with our old machines??
Of course, there will be a cheatcode, UEFI=ON, for the new machines.

Regards!

Yow will probably use two kernels one with and one without.

Oh yeah. I can now print from Porteus.

It's not going to be that easy unfortunately. While the required options will be built into the kernel, the layout of files in the ISO needs to change for UEFI. At this early stage of UEFI it is probably best to continue as normal and just have a separate forum thread for setting up UEFI on individual machines..

Could you please include SSL capability in claws mail client in MATE?
I've been a Claws Mail user for many years, and use Porteus for all online tasks except mail, because of lack of a secure email server connection for my favorite email client.

Thanks, Merry Christmas and keep the good work up!

isn't UEFI 64 bits?

Yes I can do this.

Yes.

Very few changes on the basic system and the accompanying options. A better offer of packages on PPM.

How did you got the printer to work?
