| Linux Release Details: |
| Frenzy 1.1 has been released |
| In 1.1 added unionfs support (thanks to Daichi Goto's patches). This change allowed to optimize system loading and working, also it gives ability to change (almost) any file on LiveCD after boot.
Also we introduce FEM (Frenzy Extension Modules) system, which allow to plug-in additional software without rebuilding ISO image. When booting, Frenzy searches FEM modules on CD, hard drives and USB flash keys, then plugs found modules to system - now you can use software in these modules. To create FEM modules you can use pkg2fem tools (download), which can create FEM module from one or more FreeBSD packages. |
New features
Now Frenzy can be booted from ISO image on hard drive. For this ability you may put Frenzy ISO image to 'frenzy' directory on any hard drive partition. When booting from CD and selecting option 'fromhdd', base system will be loaded from ISO image on hard drive.
Added options to boot with DMA disabled on ATAPI or ATA devices, this sometimes helps when problems with CD reading occurs on some devices.
Added parameters to loader menu:
- 'mode' to choose resolution in console mode (for example, you can set 1024×768)
- 'sound' for sound card autodetection (now sound is disabled by default)
- 'nofem' to disable FEM modules search and loading
Added feature to use FAT partition as boot partition (experimental). This allows to boot Frenzy from FAT partitions using grub4dos.
