February 03, 2014 — BarryK
This is a bug-fix release of Quirky Tahr 6.0, which was announced only a few days ago:

Some of the differences between 6.0 and 6.0.1 are outlined here:

The 6.0.1 file to install, tahr-6.0.1.usfs.xz or tahr-6.0.1-8gb.img.xz, is here, please read the install instructions in the above link:

The full 'devx' PET (100.4MB):

Kernel source PET (115.2MB):

If you already have Quirky Tahr 6.0 installed, then there is a Service Pack. This is a relatively small file to upgrade, though in this case it is a bit big, about 30MB, as the web browser changed from QupZilla to SeaMonkey and there are extra gstreamer packages.
Go to the Filesystem menu and choose Quirky Version Upgrade Manager.

The Service Packs, for the main Tahr filesystem upgrade and the devx (if 6.0 devx PET is already installed) are also available by direct download from here:
