## Refracta-6.0.4 xfce/icewm

Sat Apr 16, 2011 3:14 am

Refracta-6.0.4 is ready and released. The image is a little smaller than the beta, so if you install it and add some packages, and then make a snapshot, you should still be able to fit it onto a CD. If you want to add more than a few packages, you might want to use the usb image. I'll make a separate post about how to use that.
Download the iso here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... les/6.0.4/
Download the usb-hdd image here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 6.0.4-usb/
If you have the beta already, you can run the following command from the same directory as the iso file to get it in a much shorter time:

Code:
  `zsync -i refracta-6.0.4-xfce-beta.iso http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/refracta/files/6.0.4/refracta-6.0.4-xfce.iso.zsync`

The usb image uses grub2 for the bootloader. Other than that, it's the same version as the iso.
Features in 6.0.4:
Choice of running with xfce or icewm.
Software for Internet, multimedia, graphics and office use.
Wide selection of command line tools for diagnosis and recovery.
Choice of three different installers - Legacy refractainstaller, a new installer that allows for multiple partitions and hard drive encryption, and an installer that works without a graphical environment.
Refracta Snapshot tool to create your own live CD from your configured installation.
Have fun with it!
