The third openmamba pre-release is available with tag snapshot 20080224. The tests on the
previous releases let us face and solve some relevant installation problems and the
result is a more simple installation procedure for most users. Many thanks to all the
beta testers who made this possible!
Here are the most important changes of this release:
- added support for installation in systems with different combinations of IDE, SATA and
SCSI disks
- boot menu (grub 2): fixed support for Windows Vista boot
- installation wizard: check on partitions improved and the whole process has been made simpler by adding more pages to the wizard
- many system bugfixes
Before the stable release is ready we plan to release a forth (and last) pre-release with
the following changes:
- kernel: update to version 2.6.24
- configuration dialog for language, country, keyboard and time when installation starts
- boot menu: support for Windows and other chainloaded system boot from secondary disks
- boot menu: support for automatic configuration of other Linux systems
