It features a graphical installer, automatic hardware detection and configuration, and of course some more tools and extras. Just check it out and tell us what you think.Known working environments/hardware:* VirtualBox (display detection could be flaky, better set the resolution manually in the advanced startup options)* VMware (there could be some problems with input hardware due to the recent update of Xorg)* Acer Aspire 1640Z (i915 graphics @ 1280x800, intel ipw2200 wlan, realtek nic, intel hda sound)* Intel Core2 E8500 / ASRock G43Twins-FullHD / 4GiB / Intel G4x (X4500) / Intel HDA Sound / Realtek 8111B nic* AMD Sempron 3400+ / MSI Mb / 2GiB / Nvidia 6600GT Here are some key features of "Chakra LiveCD": · KDE 4.3.1 + extra apps and components · a lightweight and clean hardware detection and configuration framework (work in progress) · graphics hardware detection and automatic installation/configuration of proprietary graphics drivers · tribe, our Qt4-based installer, featuring a postinstall backend written completely in bash · arxin, our system configuration application for Arch Linux (work in progress) · shaman, our ALPM/Pacman package management frontend Requirements: · a Intel Pentium II or higher processor for the i686 version · a 64Bit-capable processor for the x86_64 version · 256MiB of RAM for running the liveCD system and 384MiB of RAM for the installation (the more the better) · around 3GiB of available hard disk space (the more the better) · a screen capable of 1024 x 768 or higher resolution · a reasonably fast internet connection, e.g. no modem (you wont have fun with this) What's New in This Release: · Today we are pleased to announce a development release named 'Crush' of our very own Chakra live media. It comes only as minimal edition this time due to minimal changes. I added our Chakra Tools from Git to test them out on the live media. It's a hybrid ISO as usual.
