Provided that there are no more major bugs, we should be switching amd64 |
| 8 |
to using GLI this release. |

Also, the GTK+ installer will have "modes" support. This is a selection |
| 11 |
on the first screen for "standard" and "networkless" that disables any |
| 12 |
options under networkless that might require a network connection. It |
| 13 |
should reduce the number of bugs caused by people doing things like |
| 14 |
selecting dcron when doing networkless, or anything else that would |
| 15 |
cause a network to be required. |

There will probably be a good bit of content changes due to modes |
| 21 |
support. I'll try to get you guys a beta "advanced" copy of a LiveCD as |
| 22 |
quickly as possible to help you guys work through the documentation. |
