 Other Notable Changes in 1.5
Important Notice About Parsix ReporitoriesRamon r1 introduced the continent apt reporitory along with the official supported Parsix repository. The Continent repository consists of the whole Debian testing archive minus the official Parsix repository packages. Note that the continent repository for Parsix Ramon is frozen now and will not receive updates from Debian except critical fixes. This is a new release policy to make Parsix more stable like approach. The Continent repository will be continued to be updated for the next Parsix release code name Viola and will be frozen before the final release of it, and so on. So if you like to keep your system more stable or want to do a upgrade to Viola using apt, please check your /etc/apt/sources.list file to contain similar lines to the following code: # Parsix deb http://packages.parsix.org/official viola main contrib non-free deb-src http://packages.parsix.org/official viola main contrib non-free deb http://packages.parsix.org/continent viola main contrib non-free deb-src http://packages.parsix.org/continent viola main contrib non-free # Debian Multimedia deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main Updating Existing InstallationsUsers with existing Parsix GNU/Linux installations can update their systems using APT or 1.5r0 CD-ROM. Updating using the Parsix CD-ROM deletes all additional installed packages. So users who have custom installed packages, should reinstall them after finishing the update process. A package diff file is saved to /root/diffpackages-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.txt that can be used to reinstall additional packages. Just use a command like the following to use the diff file, after rebooting to your new updated Parsix system: $ apt-get update && apt-get install `cat /root/diffpackages-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.txt` If you are planning to update your system using APT, use the following commands: $ echo "deb http://www.parsix.org/packages viola main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list $ apt-get update && apt-get install distro-defaults $ apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade $ apt-get install parsix-kernel (or parsix64-kernel on amd64 systems / parsix-kernel-bigmem on i386 systems with more than 4GB RAM) $ dpkg -P `deborphan` $ reboot Donation Service LaunchedIt is now possible to donate to Parsix GNU/Linux project. Donations will help us to move faster, make Parsix better and covers our costs like hosting and test hardware costs. Donations are highly appreciated. Click here∞ to visit donation page. Note for Intel Wireless 3945/4965 UsersIf had trouble getting IP from the wireless network, try to add access point address to your network configuration. Use the following command to get the access point address: $ iwlist wlan0 scan | grep Cell | awk 'BEGIN{FS="Address: "}{print $2}' Note for nVidia/ATI UsersNow it's possible to install ATI and nVidia drivers and kernel modules from the Viola APT repository. For more information, please see AtiHowto∞ and NvidiaHowTo∞. Note for HSF/HCF Software Modem UsersParsix GNU/Linux does not support HSF/HCF software modems anymore, so you need to manually download and install needed Debian driver packages from http://www.linuxant.com∞.
