LiveCD Version 6.3-r2160 Released

Alexander E. Patrakov - 2007/11/30

The LFS LiveCD Team is proud to announce the release of the 6.3-r2160 version of the LFS LiveCD for x86 and x86_64 architectures. This CD version is only a minor update. There are the following user-visible changes:

• Speechd-up has been patched in order to be able to recognize one-character messages from speakup. This fixes the inability of visually-impaired users to examine punctuation characters (which are important, e.g., in command lines) and distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters.

• The Xfmedia video player has been replaced with gxine due to bugs.

More information about this CD is available at the documentation page.

To download the new LiveCD, visit the LFS LiveCD download page for a list of mirrors.

LiveCD Version 6.3-r2145 Released

Alexander E. Patrakov - 2007/11/30

The LFS LiveCD Team is proud to announce the release of the 6.3-r2145 version of the LFS LiveCD for x86 and x86_64 architectures. The CD contains the LFS book (version 6.3 for x86 CD, and its unofficial x86_64 equivalent for x86_64), and a lot of software that you need to build your own LFS system, ask for support and perform various recovery tasks. For each architecture, the CD is available in -min, -nosrc and full variants. The -min CD contains only a text-mode environment, -nosrc adds the X window system and the Xfce desktop, while the full CD also contains all LFS source tarballs. All of the above variants are suitable as hosts for building x86 and x86_64 LFS and CLFS systems.
