Ubuntu 18.04.2 (not-quite) RC images for testing!

[charlie]

Mr. Adam:

Absolutely! Will this testing need to happen for the other flavors such 
as Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio (the two I use)? I assume so. I'll try to 
get to the testing tomorrow when I'm not at school. I've got to say that 
Ubiquity was giving me a really hard time early on in the testing for 
19.04. Will the daily build's for 19.04 get the bug fixes as well and 
get respun?
