possible changes for 5.0 ?

Hi all,

I have made a cooking.iso with some changes for testing:

www.kult-ex.org/download/slitaz.iso

md5sum:  35e205638ba18d33fd4a2c20ce239a48

1) include CPU Frequency Scaling

as I already told, I think, that it is a contradiction, that SilTaz is
running the performance governor - it uses between 20 and 30% more
energy in idle compared to the the ondemand governor - just for doing 
nothing. 
Please dont use it for more than 2  core cpus - intel i3, i5, i7 2
core cpus are seen as 4 core cpus - you can use the iso without any
problem, because 4 cores are set ondemand - evrything is done in
system.sh - a little bit dirty, but it works - with some changes in the
kernel, it would be easy without this errors in boot.log.

perhaps it would be good also to add trayfreq to give easy control to
the user

2) removed all mesa/dri stuff + intel + nv xorg driver

back to the roots - needs less space and does not make much difference -
on all my machines (geode, transmeta, nvidia, intel) the original
rolling iso and this iso are booting.

on the thinkpad X31 with ATI original.iso does not boot - this iso
boots, but the wellpaper is very strange...

my old VIA machines dont boot from the stick, and there is a problem
with the Samsung USB-DVD in the new kernel - both isos dont boot,
needs more time

on a PIII Compaq ipaq with intel both are not booting.....

on a lenovo Z370 with intel and nvidia grafics, this iso boots only,
when in bios the optimus dGPU device is set to UMA Grafic only

as there are a lot of intel machines in the wild, it would be an idea
to make a special intel flavor, because the fbdev pascal included last
week is interfering with the intel driver, when you look in xorg.0.log

3) removed hal+pcmanfm and installed udevil+spacefm

generally it works very good - the only problem I found is, that udev
seems to have a bug with IDE-DVDs - USB-DVDs and SATA-DVDs work fine -
when I boot from an IDE-DVD

root@slitaz:/lib/udev# ./write_cd_rules
Missing $DEVPATH.

so the /etc/udev/rules.d/persistant-cd.rules are not written - until
now I have no idea, how to solve this.

changes for tazlito and tazusb: udevil does not mount the CD
as /media/crdom - it mounts the CD as /media/SliTaz

and when somebody does any changes in tazlito:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistant-cd.rules and 
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistant-net.rules

should be emty, before tazlito starts
