* A processor >= i686 is not required anymore (programs are now compiled for i486)
* Added Xvesa to fix problems with the graphical environment on some hardware

* Updated the alternative kernel to Linux-2.6.22.18 (altker32 + altker64)
* Removed the framebuffer from the default kernel (it can disturb Xorg)
* Updated app-admin/testdisk to 6.9 (testdisk-6.9 and photorec-6.9)
* Updated sys-block/gparted to 0.3.5 (bug fixes and stability release)
* Updated sys-fs/ntfs3g to 1.2216 (ntfs full read-write support)
* Compiled the hard disk controllers support as module in the alternative kernels
* Renamed the 'boothttp=url' and 'boottftp=url' to netboot='url'
* Removed the "cdroot" boot option (from linuxrc, isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg)
* Compiled the CCISS driver as built-in to improve the HP Smart Array support
* Improved the wireless network support (drivers and firmwares)
* When options 'docache' and 'lowmem' used together it does not cache the bootdisks
* Added sys-fs/scrounge-ntfs-0.9 (Data recovery program for NTFS file systems)
* Added sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus and sys-apps/sg3_utils (SCSI utils)
* Added sys-block/lsiutil-1.52 (LSI Logic Fusion MPT command line management tool)

* Added sys-block/mbuffer (tool for buffering data streams)
* Added support for btrfs-0.12 (kernel and utils) thanks to Christian Hesse
* Added the atl2-1.0.4 network driver (Attansic/Atheros L2 network driver)
* Added support for loop-aes (encrypted loopback block device driver + utils)
* Fix: process the network boot options before autorun (it may need the network)
* Fixed name resolution that was broken in the pxe boot process due to libc
* Updated the memtest86+ floppy disk image to 2.00 (memtestp boot entry)
