Wizard 2.0.5 problems

The Windows Disk Creator v2.0.5 has been confirmed to have a critical bug in the way that it generates the Coyote Linux configuration file. It has been removed from the download page until I can get a fixed version online. Until 2.0.6 is released, please continue to use 2.0.3 or 2.0.4.

Coyote Linux Wizard 2.0.5 Released

Version 2.0.5 of the Windows Disk Creation wizard has been released and is available for download. This version uses Coyote Linux 1.32 as a base for the Linux boot disk (please note that some features present in the Linux floppy builder scripts are still not available due to floppy size restrictions) and fixes a bug in the H.323 support.

Coyote Linux 1.32 Released (Linux Floppy Builder Scripts)

Coyote Linux v1.32 has been released and is available for download. This release fixes some long standing bugs in Coyote Linux. A bug fux in the init scripts when using a static IP with an ISDN connection, a fix for the the PPPoE ip-up script that would cause the domain name to be repeated over and over in /etc/resolv.conf, and a replacement for the mail command were added to this release. A new Windows wizard that corrects the PPPoE and mail problems will be released shortly.

Coyote Linux Wizard Updates

An updated version of the Coyote Linux Windows Disk creator has been placed in the Download area of the site. This version contains a bug fix for PPP modem port speeds, H.323 NAT support, and a much more detailed network card selection list (each module now has the complete list of supported cards available to select from).

Information

Coyote Linux is a security-centric mini-distribution of Linux designed specifically to function as a network edge firewall and VPN server. Developed by Vortech Consulting, LLC, Coyote is tailored for users who prioritize safety and efficiency in their home networks while preferring a simplistic and minimal solution.

Originally launched in 1999 during an era when consumer internet routers were non-existent, Coyote Linux emerged from the need for effective internet sharing across home and small business networks.
