Release Notes for K12LTSP 4.2.0 (release candidate #1)
============================================================================
What's new:
* K12LTSP 4.2.0 is based on Fedora Core 3. Be sure to read the FC3
release notes at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/
* The installer media check has been turned off by default. This check
does not work if the ISO were burned on a 2.6.x kernel without
being "padded" (i.e. the "-pad" option in cdrecord). If you want to
run the media check, you may still do so by specifying the following
at the CD boot prompt:
linux mediacheck
* K12LTSP "meta" packages are now included. These are "empty" packages
that contain dependancies for all of the packages in a particular
group. This makes it easy to install a group of packages by
specifying only the meta package. For example "yum install k12ltsp-core"
would install off the core K12LTSP packages. Meta packages included
are:
k12ltsp-core
k12ltsp-education
k12ltsp-education-devel
k12ltsp-extras
k12ltsp-scripts
k12ltsp-utils
* Tuxpaint now has a graphical configuration utility: tuxpaint-config
* The up2date and yum packages no longer need to be modified
to included the K12LTSP repository information. These config
files are now in the fedora-release and k12ltsp-release
packages
* The up2date and yum repositories are now mirrored at the
University of Tennessee at Knoxville
* The default web browser has changed from Mozilla to Firefox.
Firefox as been modified to use the K12LTSP bookmarks.
* The LTSP Build Environment (ltsp_i386-lbe) is no longer
included on the install CDs in order to free up some space.
Use apt, up2date, or yum if you wish to install it.
