Topologilinux 6.1.0 Rc1 is almost complete but one problem still exists

(2005-11-25) Topologilinux 6.0.0 Released

Based on Slackware 10.2 and you can still run it under ALL Windows versions.
But a great news in this version is that you should now also be able to run it in "real" linux
mode like tht traditional distros Debian, Fedora and slackware and so on.
Topologilinux is very easy to install and does not require any partitioning
at all. (see installation link)
Another news in version 6.0.0 is the improved coLinux integration which means that you
can run Topologilinux direct inside your windows system

There is also a grub-based bootmanager so you can boot in real mode
(not coLinuxmode) (require windows 2000/XP or higher)

(2003-01-19) No new NTFS release.
I just heard that a new version of the NTFS kernel driver will not be released
for a very long time. So I release version 2.0.0 with the old NTFS 2.1.0a
(2003-01-06) Happy new year../..Ftp../..Version 2.0.0..
Some people has asked about a ftp site like ftp.topologilinux.org with updates..
Sorry.. no such ftp site exist yet.. but if anyone out there are willing to
offer a free ftp site like that i would be very happy..
Yes Version 2.0.0 is almost ready to be released.. A new NTFS driver release should
be released in 2 weeks (according to the mails I got) so in about 3 weeks version 2.0.0 will
hopefully be out...please mail in bugs on last RC1 if you found any..
(2002-12-29) Topologilinux 2.0 Releasecandidate 1 released !
This is the last release before version 2.0 and should be highly recomended to download
Changes: Now with Wine (windows emulator) and Licq (Linux ICQ clone) included
The reported trouble with last beta 1 (the 30 day limit in the setup.exe) is now fixed
Thanks to Tim "AutoBot" Turner who compiled my setup.exe with a registed Delphi version
(2002-12-19) Installation of Topologilinux 2.0 Beta 1
Change the date back about 30 days by command "date"
Then run setup.exe !
After run that set back the date again
Then boot with this cd and enter "install"
(2002-12-19) Topologilinux version 2.0 Beta 1 released !
This is the first beta of Topologilinux v2. This beta has been tested for a while before it
has been "public" released so it should work fine. So download and enjoy this Beta !
This has many major feature enhancements, most your modules is now configured att boot time now
USB mouses and other devices should work.. please report to me result on that
The main reason why it is called Beta is that it is based on slackware 9 Beta (current)
another is that the setup.exe (windows based) is compiled with a free trial version of delphi
which cause a 30 day limit,(seemes to be on the setup.exe file).. anyone out there who have a registed
version of Delphi 7 and can compile it for me ?
This problem will only appear to you if you install this beta 2 different time on same machine with more
than 30 day between the installations.. (and in about 30 days the real 2.0 will probably been released..)
NOTE: If you have a FAT system do not create lager base system than 2040MB
NTFS works with much larger base system.. I have tested it OK with up to 13GB
(2002-11-28) Gnome 2.03 released... BUT STILL NO GNOME 2 IN SLACKWARE CURRENT.. !
Gnome has now released version 2.03 of their popular desktop and developer platform.
But there are still no Gnome2 packages at all in slackware current.
It is possible to use Gnome2 through dropline. But Dropline-Gnome is unstable and not recomended
Does anyone know if they will include any Gnome2 packages in slackware 9 ? [mail me]
Do you want stable Gnome2 in Topologilinux and slckware ? Help me to push slackware [email slackware]
(2002-10-13) Planed features for next release !
First of all i want to thank all users of Topologilinux !
For each download i will give some more time for develop Topologilinux
so tell all your friends to download Topologilinux and visit this page many times ;)
OK now to the new planed features for the next release:
* Support for installing TopologiLinux under NTFS systems like Windows XP
* Need to wait for a more stable NTFS write driver (ver>2.1.0) (Linux NTFS page)
* USB mouse support in the installation part (worked before but you had to start up USB)
* Improved booting tool (easy boot menu hopefully.. working on it now..)
Do you want any other features ? MAIL ME !
