Basically it's just a very straight rebuild from current source base with latest gcc (3.2.3-49). Only few packages got special treatment. xmemacs needs older FreeWnn to build Gtk-Perl needs olde gdk-pixbuf to build There is one anomality on installation if someone installs by burning boot.iso and net install. There are no keymaps for text based part. When X launches one can select the keymap. I do have to look what the heck is going on, but that doesn't block this RC1-release now. That's about it.
