Salix Live Xfce 13.37 beta
Posted: 23. Aug 2011, 13:49
After some time correcting the alpha version (http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2439), the Live team is proud to present the first beta version of Salix Live Xfce 13.37. This version is only available in 32 bits as 64 bits needs some extra time to build and the alpha was enough to test it. But be sure that the final version will be both in 32 and 64 bits.
This version is build using SaLT (Salix Live Technology), a new system of Live tools for Slackware-based distros: https://salix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnro ... alt/trunk/ (See the README for all the features)
This includes the same applications and packages as the regular Salix Xfce 13.37, 32 or 64 bits, with the following additions:
The default root password is live.
You don't need a password for the regular and auto-logged in user one.
The startup guide is still being written and can be found here http://people.salixos.org/tsuren/doc/Sa ... draft3.pdf
You can download the ISOs from here:
