KIARA 2.8 Released


KIARA 2.8 is now available for download.  KIARA is a live Linux CD based on Slax 6.1.2 that combines the classic KDE 3.5 Desktop environment with the latest web software from Mozilla and opera.  KIARA releases immediately follow each new release of Mozilla Firefox.

KIARA 2.7 includes Firefox 10.10, AND Seamonkey 2.7.1, and an upgraded version of wireless-assistant from Slax .org.

To simplify things, the Opera web browser has been removed.  I'll ll bring it back if anyone really misses it.

KIARA 2.7 Released



REVISED: Corrupted files replaced, perl added. New version uploaded 2012.02.03




Highlights include added development files, Firefox 10.0

KIARA 2.7 is now available for download.  KIARA is a live Linux CD based on Slax 6.1.2 that combines the classic KDE 3.5 Desktop environment with the latest web software from Mozilla and opera.  KIARA releases immediately follow each new release of Mozilla Firefox.

KIARA 2.7 includes Firefox 10.0, Thunderbird 10.0, Seamonkey 2.7, and Opera 11.61.   I've also restored the following (mostly) development files that were once included in KIARA 1.x:  p7zip-9.20.1, pygobject-2.15.4,  pygtk-2.12.1,  python-2.5.2, ruby-1.8.7, perl-5.10.0

Finally, I've added a couple of links to the /root desktop to help simplfy administrative tasks.  One link executes the command "fdisk -l" in a terminal window, listing all partitions in all hard disks.  The other link opens the Konqueror "storage media" window.
