  • Updates:

    • GNU C Library 2.4
    • GCC 4.1.0
    • KDE 3.5.2
    • More than 300 new packages

  • New features:

    • Created a new tool, called ‘setup’, to summarize the available configuration tools. (screenshot)
    • Localized the package manager. (currently German and Hungarian language support available)
    • Added Brazilian and Indonesian translation to the setup.

  • Known problems:

    • The dvd image is more than 4.7 GB so it will not fit on a single-layer DVD.
