chaox goes 2.6.28

So here we are with a new release. We finally managed to iron out the issues we had with kernel 2.6.28 and everything should be working now(tm). The new releases can be found at their usual places:

IMPORTANT: This release is no longer supported, if you can’t reproduce your problem with the latest stable release we won’t help you.

• chaoxcd-2009-01-04-19-58.iso (shasum)
• chaoxusb-2009-01-04-20-01.img (shasum)

So apart from updating to 2.6.28 we added quite a lot of packages, inspired from the great time we had at the 25C3 and there we’re quite a lot of updates, too. Noticable additions are firmware for a bunch of wifi cards: atmel, ralink, broadcom, zd1211 and some intel cards. We added the com-on-air software and kismet with a matching DECT plugin, so you can have some fun fooling around with your DECT telefon system. The notorious (and rather embarrasing) bug, which caused /dev/pts not to be mounted is fixed, too :). On the eyecandy side of things we now include a usplash screen, if you feel talented we’d welcome some new artwork. Read more for the complete changelog.
