Version 7.0 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, e2fsprogs, glibc, and iptables to their latest versions.

A small portion of the additional room has been used for adding the libptread threading library to the subset of glibc that gets installed with ttylinux.

Version 6.0 of ttylinux released. This release updates bash, busybox, dropbear, glibc, and lilo to their latest versions. The major version number of the distribution was changed because of the glibc version change.
