This is the first release candidate for the upcoming MCNLive-Delft edition.
* Based on and 100% compatible with Mandriva Linux 2007.1 Spring
* Included wifi drivers. No closed source nvidia and ati driver.
* 3D desktop - Beryl, compiz and Metisse - for most Intel and ATI cards.
* KDE desktop with a set of internet, music and video applications, games and some more.
* 4 languages preinstalled: English (default), Dutch, French, Italian :-)
Features - as known from earlier editions
* Install additional software live, preconfigured sources
* Graphical wizard to create a Live USB on a USB stick or external hard disk
* copy2ram - run the entire system from internal memory
* Install to hard disk, with the Mandriva draklive-install wizard
* Make your own live version on-the-fly, while running from CD or from USB
* Switch to a different language on-the-fly ... or add the missing language
New and/or improved features
* Improved wizard: Backup - Restore Home
* New: Keep all system wide changes, make them persist. Stored in a loop image.
A wizard to set up the loop disk on a internal hard disk or external removable drive.
The bootcode 'livecd persist' will enable it.
* Improved: Remaster-on-the-fly got a graphical wizard.
* The boot code 'livecd ntfsrw' will mount all NTFS filesystems read-write, default is read-only.
* New boot code: vesa
It is a sort fall-back for the (very few) video cards that do not play nicely with the automatic configuration and would end up in non-graphical mode. 'vesa' will pick the vesa driver and uses a 1024x768 resolution for the monitor.
This boot code is also handy for booting in VirtualBox and VMware.
'Delft' is meant as a base system for most desktops and notebooks, with the 3D desktop fun. And all the stunning Mandriva tools. No Office Suite included, no printer drivers.
'Delft' enables you to create your own full-featured office version. Or add your own software and use the 'livecd persist' boot code.
After this release we possibly will work on an edition with VirtualBox included.
