GNAP 1.7 is out ! |

|
| 3 |
GNAP is a Gentoo-based Network Appliance building system. It allows to |
| 4 |
build LiveCDs or bootable disks with a customized network appliance |
| 5 |
configuration in seconds. This is especially useful to quickly install |
| 6 |
Gentoo on small-CPU hosts to use them as routers, firewalls, VPN boxen... |

This version includes two major new features. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
R/W overlay |
| 15 |
It is now possible to specify the name of a partition from which to |
| 16 |
overlay files at boot-time, allowing to write configuration changes back |
| 17 |
to a floppy or a specific CF partition for example. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Easier extensibility |
| 20 |
Add new functionality to GNAP used to force you to rebuild a complete |
| 21 |
new core, which took both time and effort. The new extension system in |
| 22 |
gnap_make allows you to build extensions without building a new core, |
| 23 |
and the new gnap_remaster tool helps you to add extensions to existing |
| 24 |
core files. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So emerge gnap and play ! Ask me on IRC for any questions you may have. |
