What's new ?

Sourceforge.net

All the ISOs are now at sourceforge.net website available.

ISO

The installer sets the right keyboard in graphical mode for many countries.

The ISO is using the minimal in RAM when booting up. This speeds up the BOOT process. In case of, a new entry is added to give the possibility to load the ISO in RAM if necessary.

CARDS

When a package is not existing anymore, cards throws an error message instead of freezing.

When a folder without Pkgfile file is tracked by cards, an error will be throw in the terminal when commands cards deptree cards depends or cards create are used.

The command cards search is looking in every posssible information, means seach can be done based on version, url and packager infos as well.

The command cards upgrade now takes care of synchronisation the meta datas, upgrading and cleaning the cache. It's no longer needed to make a sudo cards sync and a sudo cards purge if cards upgrade is used.

New team member

I'm please to annonce that Miyo Linux is joining the team. Dan will take care of the customised ISO. We appreciate his expertise in this task. Dan proposed a very nice presentation video on his Youtube channel which is the official NuTyX YouTube channel for the non french speaking peoples.
