- 2004-08-04 v1.2.14
- - bugfix: libpcap0.8 was missing (for tcpdump)
- - the following packages/programs were updated:
- fwlogwatch, clamav, avscan, smbmount, rkhunter
- - p0f - a passive OS fingerprinting tool - was added.
- - the ability to create boot floppies (mkfloppy.bat and mkfloppy.sh
- was removed. (The files didn't fit on a floppy anymore.
- This should be re-added asap.)
- - a bug with the 'toram' boot option was fixed. Now all files
- are being copied to the ram disk.
- - to save space the cloop is now compressed with best compression
- to keep the size of the image under 50MB (50x1024x1024 bytes).
- - the virus database for clamav was updated to the latest version.
- (you guessed it, didn't you:))
- 2004-06-24 v1.2.13 (The summer release)
- - updated kernel version to 2.4.26!
- - updated system boot scripts and hardware detection
- to the latest versions from KNOPPIX v3.4!
- - these two together leave us with much better hardware support
- and detection (e.g. more SCSI drivers plus USB and Firewire drivers
- in the miniroot: boot from external drives)
- - the version number jumped a bit forward. That's because lots of
- major improvements/updates have been made, and it matches
- (well, halfway:)) the new kernel version so nicely.
- - the long-standing bug with the ISO file system on the CD not being
- readable from windows OS was fixed.
- - the kernel was patched to use the new NTFS driver from linux-ntfs.
- This amounts to much better performance and to stable, yet limited
- write support (apart from captive).
- - Jee, I always thought parted was included. Well, now it is.
- Same applies for acl.
- - it is now possible to save the INSERT-configuration (saveconfig) or
- the contents of the INSERT user's home (mkpersistenthome) to a
- directory aka to a mounted device (e.g. USB-stick).
- - added shfs which makes it possible to mount remote file systems via SSH.
- Simply use shfsmount. (Similar things can be done with lufs as well,
- but this one comes with some nice and decent features.)
- - added foremost (on request); a forensics tools to recover certain
- file types from an image or directly from disk.
- - added support for the Belgian keyboard (as requested).
- - clamav was updated to the much improved version 0.73.
- - replaced fdisk-udeb with cfdisk.
- - added unrar.
- - removed (unused) wmbutton and module-init-tools.
- - moved from wmifs to wmnd for displaying the network bandwith usage.
- - added mount.app. Mounting by clicking is now possible:)
- - removed the Alcatel Speedtouch driver.
- - most of the other packages were updated!!
- - the virus database for clamav was updated to the latest version.
- 2004-04-22 v1.2.8 (The birthday release)
- - ettercap was added (on request).
- - fwlogwatch was added (Boris' baby:)
- - Support for mounting SMB filesystems was added (smbmount).
- Now it is possible to mount MS Windows or Samba shares,
- e.g. to backup data to or fro.
- - the French and Swiss keyboard layouts were added and should work.
- - huh, just noticed that we don't have a telnet client - now we have one.
- - the rootkit hunter was updated and should finally work.
- (corrects a problem with the read-only filesystem.)
- - clamav was updated and now also detecs MS Office VBA macro viruses.
- - the ntfsutils were updated.
- - the virus database for clamav was updated to the latest version.
- 2004-04-04 v1.2.7
- - thanks to the Multivalent PDF Tools it was possible to compress our
- included information material to about half its size! This made room for:
- - avscan, a graphical frontend for the virus scanner clamav (was added),
- which should make it a bit easier for newbies to scan for viruses and
- which also generally is a quite-nice-to-have,
- This makes INSERT probably the first distribution providing a free,
- and easy to use virus scanner with a GUI.
- (Thanks go to Tara from WolfPack Entertainment.)
- - BashBurn and iftop and the full bash-programmable-completion were added.
- - The Rootkit Hunter (www.rootkit.nl) was added.
- - memtest was updated
- - ssh-agent is now started at boot time as suggested
- - The virus database for clamav was updated to the latest version.
- 2004-03-22 v1.2.6
- - re-added xkbcomp after it has accidentally been
- removed in the last version, which caused some rather
- important characters not to appear in X (e.b.: |,@).

- 2004-01-27 v1.2
- This version, which also has been mass-replicated, features many major
- improvements, the most important of which are:
- - freshly built upon/from the newest available version V3.3-031119 of KNOPPIX,
- which brings us linux kernel 2.4.22-xfs and the ability to copy the installation
- to RAM or to HD during boot time (free your optical drive:)
- - full read-WRITE-support on NTFS-partitions using captive!
- With captive and two files from your Windows(tm)-installation fairly stable
- support for write access to NTFS partitions is being achieved.
- - The drivers and modules for LVM-support have been added allowing access to
- logical volumes created with LVM.
- - The missing floppy boot image has been added (coyp to floppy if your CD-ROM
- doesn't boot).
- - the latest version of nmap has been added. This unfortunately kicked lcrzoex
- out of the boat (will try to readd it later).
- - Man pages have been added leading to much increased comfort for those who
- don't know the 2000 options and parameters of xxxx from memory.
- 2003-09-18 v1.02

- additional boot options (boot disks) and eliminates the limitation of
- the boot disk size.

- - added the packages cpio and dialog (absence of the latter caused
- netcardconfig to fail)
