We would like to remind you that this is not a final version, and should
not be installed on production machines. We did our best to fix all
bugs, however should you find one, do not hesitate to enter a report in
our bug reporting system (http://bugs.pardus.org.tr). Please note that to
eliminate potential problems, burn the CDs in DAO mode, 16x speed.
This RC includes a major dissimilarity form earlier versions of Pardus : From
now on, Pardus will be released as two flavours of live and install CD’s :
One install CD in English and Turkish, one in all supported languages and
one Live CD based on KDE3, and finally one Live CD based on on KDE4.
Features and dowload links of these flavours are as follows :
- Pardus 2008.1 RC Install CD [Turkish/English] : This CD is the familiar
Pardus InstallCD with _only_ Turkish and English Install support.

Let’s remind it one more time – this is a beta grade software : though we
tried to eliminate all the bugs we are aware of, quite possibly there are
more of them. We would be happy to hear about them in our bugzilla and
pardus-users email list.
