Array CD 1

[Colin Watson]

  "And thus it was that Granny, her hat and iron-grey hair dripping with
  moisture, her boots shedding lumps of ice, heard the distant and
  muffled sound of a voice enthusiastically explaining to the invisible
  sky that the hedgehog had less to worry over than just about any other
  mammal."

    -- Terry Pratchett, "Wyrd Sisters"

This is Hoary Hedgehog. Please ensure that your seat-belts are fastened
and that your seat back is in the fully upright position. Pre-release
versions of Hoary are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable
system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional
breakage. It *is* recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want
to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.

Array CD 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images released once
every two weeks or so, as images that are known to be reasonably free of
showstopper CD-build or installer bugs, while representing very current
snapshots of Hoary. You can download it here:

  http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/releases/hoary/array-1/
  rsync://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/cdimage/releases/hoary/array-1/

See http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Archive for access instructions. I
recommend rsync if possible, as you can then download future images
based on this one to save bandwidth.

Some notable features in this release:

  * X.Org replaces XFree86;

  * Installs a UTF-8 locale by default;

  * Fully merged with Debian unstable, including debian-installer
    pre-rc2.

This is, quite literally, the first installable CD image to roll off the
notional CD image production line, so you can expect a number of bugs.
Among them are the following (so you don't need to bother reporting
these if you encounter them):

  * Installer keymap defaults are broken (select "English" followed by
    "United Kingdom" and get presented with a default of "American
    English");

  * At the end of package selection, base-config displays a harmless
    error about not being able to remove laptop-detect.
