October 10, 2014 06:54PM
Hello Community,

 * [New] [OpenWRT] Optimized handling of mount options in extendRoot 
 * [Fix] [RPi] Bootup issue with some USB-wifi sticks. 
 * [Fix] Prevent XSS in forest.py

I want to thank everybody who helped with testing, bug-fixing, improving our scripts, and developing scripts.

OpenWrt
For OpenWrt systems we included the first batch of fixes, that makes the automatic installation more robust on uncertain things like missing USB sticks.
For updating from PirateBox 1.0.0 to PirateBox 1.0.1 its required that you do a full system upgrade including flashing your device. For doing this, I updated the [piratebox.cc] howto.
Currently, the upgrade process needs three reboots with several steps. We are working on an improvement of this process for the next releases.

Additional we simplified the HowTo for the Post-Installation steps using the script called ''box_init_setup.sh'', which is brought to you by the LibraryBox-Kickstarter project.

All images and download-locations where replaced with the new files.


RapsberryPi
We haven't shipped more scripts for the RPi yet, so it is recommended that you check out the RaspberryPI Mods section.

RPi B+ support should be included, because we are using the latest ArchLinux Sources, unfortunalty I have none for testing.

The hostapd binary is included for the problematic Realtek chip sets. You can find the hostapd packages in
/prebuild-hostapd

They can be installed with
 pacman --noconfirm --force -U **path to file** 
  sed 's#driver=.*#driver=rtl871xdrv#'   -i /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf

Like tha last times, we can only publish the image using torrent. The torrent link can be found at the Raspberry Pi(rate)Box - HowTo, or use this link to the torrent file.

What's next?
From the first ReleaseCandidate up till now alot of things happend, which will be staged for 1.1. One of these things are multi-language support for the webpage!
Thanks to stylesuxx we are close to get automatic build for the current beta and trunk (current development) releases.. so you can easier sneak on what we are doing. Especially early feedback and testresults are needed for the mesh feature stuff.


Sincerly

Ethernet Port is configured running with DHCP,
so you should plug it to your homerouter and connect to it (like before I think)

Sorry, I'm not sure I understood the question? smiling smiley
You want to install a desktop on our arch image, or do you want to install piratebox on a normal archlinux.

And what is with port 80?
