Pierre Schmitz wrote: As is customary by now there is a new install medium available at the beginning of this month. The live system can be downloaded from [Download][1] and be used for new installs or as a rescue system. In addition to a couple of updated packages and bug fixes the following changes stand out: * First medium with Linux 3.5 (3.5.3) * The _script_ boot parameter works again ([FS#31022][2]) * When booting via PXE and NFS or NBD the ISO will be copied to RAM to ensure a more stable usage. * The live medium contains _usb_modeswitch_ and _wvdial_ which e.g. allows to establish a network connection using an UMTS USB dongle * Furthermore the newest versions of _initscripts_, _systemd_ and _netcfg_ are included.
