The first release candidate of Core 4.4 is ready for public testing:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/release_candidates

The major theme for Core v4.4 is a kernel & modules update.

Changelog for 4.4rc1:

* Minor kernel update to 3.0.21 to support the following:
** ax25 / ham radio support
** kexec
** efficeon agp patch
** r6040 mii fix
** isa libata enabled for very old laptops
** xts, gf128mul for truecrypt uses
** resolves the kernel panic issue when mounting CIFS shares.
* Updated tc-config with syslog/rsyslog patch
* Updated Xprogs.tcz: scmbrowser and smc-fetch.sh tweaks

Update instructions, from the release candidate area:
1. Copy over new vmlinuz
2. Copy over new core.gz
3. Copy over new Xprogs.tcz
4. boot into new system

if You have/use X then
AppsAduit -> Dependencies -> Build Reporting Database -> Fetch Missing

or if you only use Core (no X) or Xorg did not start and only have a system prompt use:
tce-audit builddb
tce-audit fetchmissing

roberts:
Heads up to only for core64.gz users.

core64.gz has been reposted in the relase_candidate/distribution_files
to correct having both 32 and 64 bit modules.
Repost only contains 64 bit modules.

Thank you for the kernel update! You should also add that this kernel update fixes CIFS shares as reported by myself here: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=11896.0. I appreciate this, the earlier 3.0 kernels were very buggy, this should fix a lot of intermittent issues.

Also appreciate you're adding this: ** isa libata enabled for very old laptops. Most of the systems I work on are old embedded systems and libata could certainly prove very useful to me. Will test shortly.

roberts:
Updated change log. Thanks and thanks for help in testing the new features.
