Finnix 89.2 Released

  • Posted by Ryan Finnie on July 27, 2007, 10:04 am

Finnix is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian testing. Today marks the release of version 89.2 for the x86/AMD64, PowerPC, and UML/Xen platforms.

Finnix 89.2 is a maintenance release. Base system has been dist-upgraded to Debian's testing 2007-07-26. A new kernel was planned for this release, but was not released due to problems between Finnix and available union filesystems. Because of this, 89.2 still comes with kernel 2.6.18, but has a few backported drivers.

    Great, I was waiting for this quite a while now. I just downloaded it and tested it. Just marvelous.

    I'm modding / remastering finnix and would like to add latest madwifi. But the madwifi package needs the kernel headers. When I run apt-cache search linux-headers I see linux-headers-2.6.21-2 and finnix 89.2 is running 2.6.18-5.
    Do you have the linux headers for that finnix dist?

    When I try and make madwifi I get /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-x86-finnix/build: No such file and 'please set KERNELPATH'
    Any ideas?

    I hope you are continuing to maintain Finnix.

    I want to see updates as they are needed.

    Thanks,
