 For a smooth Pardus experience, please verify the checksum of the ISO
files after you have downloaded, and if you will burn the images to CD,
use quality CD's and burn the CD in DAO mode with 16x speed.

 Pardus ISO files are generated as Hybrid Images. The same Hybrid Image
can be burned to a CD, DVD or dumped to a harddisk like media, like a
USB stick. More info can be found in the README file next to ISO images.

 Pardus 2009.2 Beta comes with the latest stable KDE release, enhanced
hardware support, bigger software archive;
 
 KDE 4.4.3
 Linux kernel 2.6.31.13
 OpenOffice.Org 3.2.1.1
 Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3
 Gimp 2.6.8
 Xorg 1.6.5
 Python 2.6.5

 are just a few of them. With this release, Pardus International ISO
has grown in size and won't fit on a CD anymore. With the addition of
Turkish language and many packages, almost 1GB image can be used by
burning on a DVD or put on a harddisk like media like USB sticks.


 We remind you that this is the first testing release for Pardus
2009.2. Not all of the features and optimizations of the final release
are ready in the beta release. As this release is within the fast
developement cycle, there will be lots of package updates towards the
stable release.

 We welcome you to report us the bugs you encounter and feature
requests in our bug tracker [1] for a better Pardus.
