I just released SystemRescueCd-0.4.2-beta2. Here is the official changelog (between 0.4.1 - 0.4.2-beta2):

  • Updated the kernel to Linux-2.6.23.01 with Reiser4 (rescuecd + rescue64)
  • Updated the alternative kernel to Linux-2.6.22.12 with Reiser4 (vmlinuz2)
  • Updated sys-fs/ntfs3g to 1.1104
  • Added madwifi (support for ath5k wireless cards)

The madwifi support was added because this feature was requested in the forums:

I also introduced the smbfs (samba file system) again since most users continue to use it even if cifs is better:

I changed the default NLS in the kenel (utf8 to iso8859-1) hopefully it will solve the problems reported in the forums:
