LinuxConsole 1.0.2010 was out 6 month ago, and very few reports have been done, then i supposed i works fine.

The board has been disable, because there is realy not much activity.

The 1.0.2010 was the last linuxconsole release, now i will use dibab for next releases.

  MD5 SUM  : c3bd49bd0be1ff29b5acbdfc2d786ea8 

1. Very fast boot :

• Using dash instead of bash
• Using initramfs instead of initrd
• Modules management completely rewritten (no more cache, all modules mounted once)
• Lxde is started 4 seconds after kernel starts into Virtualbox

• Icewm/rox filer can also be used
• lxlauncher will be used for the game center

• new tool : lcmtool to manage modules (lcmtool install, lcmtool search, lcmtool upgrage, lcmtool build)
• build modules fast and easy (with lcmtool build)
• Because I have no time to maintain all modules, a lot of modules should now be available only with building ( current list at http://jukebox.linuxconsole.org/modules/2010/src/app/

• modules could be merged for a faster boot

4. New tools

• Select Time Zone
• Wicd can be used to setup wireless connexions
