What's new in Point Linux 13.04 While Point Linux 13.04 is based on the same repository as it's predecessor, it comes with a new GUI installer replacing Debian Installer that was used in previous version. This allowed us reduce the image size greatly and simplify the overall installation process.
Other changes Firefox 20.0; Thunderbird 17.0.5; Latest Debian 'Wheezy' packages; Broadcom B43 driver replaced with STA; BootStick, the bootable USB stick creation tool is included in both editions by default; LZMA squashfs compression changed back to GZIP.
The Installer Point Linux Installer is a fork of Linux Mint's Live Installer. It brings some notable changes and improvements over the original Live Installer project:
Installer performs more checks before launch; 'No Internet connection' dialog is there's no Internet connection detected; Automatic timezone detection function added (requires Internet connection); Installer sets 'us' keyboard layout for user info input regardless of layout chosen before; Regex username and hostname validity check; Avatar selection option removed; Autologin option added; Keyboard layout indicator removed that allowed us to remove the QT4 libraries from dependencies and reduce overall size greatly; Advanced installation removed; 'Send anonymous installation report' option added (requires Internet connection); Installer reduces window size during the installation if there's no slideshow folder; Better localization ability; Numerous UI improvements.
Known problems: Installer does not perform Language (Contry) selection in some cases
