A new release of tor-ramdisk is cooking
The stable branch of tor, tor-0.2.0.34 has been around since February, so there hasn't been any need to update tor-ramdisk for i686. However, there has been some progress in the kernel --- new NIC chipsets are available --- and busybox has also come out with a new release 1.14.1, but this is not a critical because non of the new features are needed.
Anyhow, this lull in tor's release schedule has given me opportunity to make some tweaks: 1) I've removed some more applets from busybox (like 'ls') giving tor-ramdisk more of an embedded feeling and reducing possible vectors of attack, 2) I've removed the shells that were on tty4-6, again, giving the system a more embedded feeling. 3) I've cleaned up the "menu" taking out redundant information (like "processes") and "df" which does not report on disk usage for initramfs systems anyhow --- its a leftover from the days when we were using a ramdisk.
All in all these are minor changes and users that don't want to switch will not be missing much.
I'm aiming the official release for June 27.
