dban-beta.2004022400 contains: * SysLinux 2.08 * Linux 2.4.24, Debian version 1 * uClibc 0.9.20 * Busybox 0.60.5 * Ncurses 5.3 dban-beta.2004022400 was compiled with Debian gcc-3.3 1:3.3.3-0pre3. The "scanning for seed files" startup message was disabled because it confused too many users, but the rc script still checks for seed files. The description of the OPS-II wipe was changed from "Low" to "Medium", but the implementation is unchanged. The DoD short method is comprised of passes 1,2,7 from the DoD standard method. The DoD standard method in dwipe uses an algorithm that was adapted from the Heidi Eraser product. The start key was changed to F10 so that DBAN will run on computers with keyboards that do not have the F11 and F12 keys. F12 will still start the wipe, but using F12 is now deprecated. dban-1.0.2 contains: * SysLinux 2.06 * Linux 2.4.22, Debian version 1 * uClibc 0.9.20 * Busybox 0.60.5 * Ncurses 5.3 dban-1.0.0 was compiled with Debian gcc-3.3 1:3.3.1-0pre0. GCC 3.2.3 produces a kernel that is too large for a 1.44 megabyte floppy disk, and GCC 2.95.4 cannot compile the new mm/filemap.c without patching. Thus, GCC 3.3.1 is the best compiler for this release. The purpose of this release is to add several new drivers to the kernel. As a consequence, there is only 50 kilobytes free on the floppy disk. As of this writing, there are no known problems with the dban-1.0.1 release. If you need extra space on the floppy disk for seed files or log files, then continue to use the dban-1.0.1 release. dban-1.0.1 contains: * SysLinux 2.04 * Linux 2.4.20, Debian version 6 * uClibc 0.9.19 * Busybox 0.60.5 * Ncurses 5.3 dban-1.0.0 was compiled with Debian gcc-3.3 3.3-2. dban-1.0.0 contains: * SysLinux 2.04 * Linux 2.4.20, Debian version 6 * uClibc 0.9.19 * Busybox 0.60.5 * Ncurses 5.3 dban-1.0.0 was compiled with Debian gcc-3.3 3.3-2. dban-0.4.0 contains: * SysLinux 1.76 * Linux 2.4.19, Debian version 4 * uClibc 0.9.15 * Busybox 0.60.4 * Wipe 2.1.0 dban-0.4.0 was compiled with Debian gcc-2.95 1:2.95.4-7. dban-0.3.1 contains: * SysLinux 1.76 * Linux 2.4.19 * uClibc 0.9.15 * Busybox 0.60.3 * Wipe 2.1.0 dban-0.3.1 was compiled with Debian gcc-2.95 1:2.95.4-7. dban-0.3.0 contains: * SysLinux 1.76 * Linux 2.4.19 * uClibc 0.9.15 * Busybox 0.60.3 * Wipe 2.1.0 dban-0.3.0 was compiled with Debian gcc-2.95 1:2.95.4-7. dban-0.2.0 contains: * SysLinux 1.76 * Linux 2.4.18 * uClibc 0.9.15 * Busybox 0.60.3 * Wipe 2.1.0 dban-0.3.0 was compiled with Debian gcc-2.95 1:2.95.4-7. dban-0.1.0 contains: * SysLinux 1.72 * Linux 2.4.18 * uClibc 0.9.11 * Busybox 0.60.3 * Wipe 2.0.1 dban-0.1.0 was compiled with gcc-2.95 from a Debian/woody prerelease.
