A short and incomplete list of changes since 1.0pre1: * Improvements: + Setup: support for having /boot on a RAID1 device, improved support for detecting network card names. + Serial ports are now owned by the 'dialout' (instead of 'uucp') group, as a consensus with other distributions. + For virtualbox users who had to download the whole (~10MB) package again and again after each kernel update - it's a good news that now the kernel module is a separate package to stop wasting bandwidth and time. + For pidgin users, an alternative MSN support has been provided in case the default one have problems, the package is called 'msn-pecan'. * Package updates: + Mono 2.0.1 + Python 2.6.1 + GNOME 2.24.2 + More than 800 other package updates + More than 100 new packages Please refer to the Frugalware [2] Anacreon ChangeLog for more information. Download for i686, x86_64 and ppc: See our [3] mirror list . Don't forget to check the [4] integrity of the install images before burning! NOTE: Click [5] here to read more about what media you need for the installation. IMPORTANT: After publishing the installer images, it was noticed that the 'syslog' service fails to start. The next 'pacman-g2 -Syu' update will fix this, or you can manually execute the ,,sed -i 's/"]/" ]/g' rc.syslog'' command to fix the problem.
