Hi Arch community,

Arch Linux 2007.08-2, "Don't Panic" has been released.
This is the first release to use our new repo layout.
There are two ISOs, ftp and core.

Changelog:

GENERAL:
- kernel 2.6.22.9 usage
- disabled arch_addons hook by default, it is now triggered by arch-addons
  boot parameter
- RAM usage has increased, these are the new recommendations:
  - 256 MB (FTP-ISO,CORE-ISO arch boot image)
  - 96 MB (CORE-ISO lowmem boot image)
 
FIXES:
- fixed the nasty /dev mount bug
- fixed the /dev/ttyS0 errors if no serial port is installed in the system
- fixed repositories in install environment to fit to both architectures
- fixed km to not show broken chars after exit
- fixed grub installing with xfs filesystem
- fixed package clearing if setup option was chosen

NEW ITEMS:
- added pptpclient to install environment
- added sdparm to install environment
- added all free wireless drivers to install environment
- added intel wireless drivers to install environment which will be activated
  by intel-wireless boot parameter
- added hosts.deny and hosts.allow to config editing dialog
- added licenses to install environment
- added new lowmem boot image to core iso
  stripped everything out that is not necessary for installation

KNOWN ISSUES:
- ftp installation is broken since the release of pacman 3.1.x
  Workaround:
  Use cd installation, ftp image is only usable as rescue system.

As usual check md5sum before using the images and also be aware of the new
RAM recommendations the images have.

Have fun
greetings
