“Major features
Mandriva tools
Guest accountMany improvements in guest account management: use of restricted
shell, restricted access to other user’s files, prevent access for
most of Mandriva administration tools…“Diskdrake / Installer
“File system encryption has been improved and made easier both
in diskdrake and installer. “Encrypted” is no longer listed as a
Filesystem, but as a checkbox in the creation window. This allows
to specify a filesystem to use inside the encrypted partition,
while it used to be forced to be ext3/ext4. Another change is that
there will be no longer a “dmcrypt” tab listing on the encrypted
partitions from various disks. Instead they are displayed in-place,
identified also by a lock icon. Passphrase will be asked at boot
time. Please note that Plymouth is not able for now to handle
messages if you have several encrypted partitions. So one advice
would be to use the same passphrase for all encrypted
partitions.“As a reminder /boot can not be encrypted, so you need to have a
separate unencrypted /boot if you decide to encrypt the root
partition /. Encryption management is usable only on Free DVD and
Free dual editions.“As a side effect, cryptoloop support, which is obsolete, has
been removed completely.“Media management
“New tag “media_type” has been added in media.cfg. One of the
first application is to be able to manage easily media. Non-Free
media will not be added anymore on Free installation. More
functionnalities coming.”
