Uhh, the installer is updated when there's a new release. We had a new version |
19 |
of the installer ready for the failed 2007.1 release, but it will end up on 2008.0. |

All of these packages (except maybe Evolution) are available on the LiveCD for |
27 |
installation as part of a networkless install with the installer. The LiveDVD |
28 |
should have Evolution as well. The installer won't install anything the user |
29 |
doesn't ask for. If you want it, check the box on the Extra Packages screen. |
