New Beta, stable release coming soon

Prepared for Debian 6

I'm proud to announce the immediate availability of LinuxLive USB Creator 2.7 RC1.

So what's new in the second Beta ?

 

As always, I added support for new Linux distributions. Persistence is now available for Debian 6.X !!!

I had to modify my code in order to support the new Archbang 2011.01.

There are also some new features such as :

  • Auto-detection of syslinux 3/4
  • Improvement on default mode which should work with almost any Linux distros
  • Download folder for Linux ISO can be changed (saving to a NAS is experimental but seems to work)
  • Ability to force default mode in options
  • New translations : Dutch and Russian
  • New splash screen with status
  • Improved update system (faster, less queries, secured over HTTPS)
  • Better free space calculation

Don't forget to make some feedbacks on this beta. You can download it here.

I also need your help for translations, you will find everything you need to help me in the readme file.

Find below the full changelog since LiLi 2.7 Beta.

Have fun !
