This is a preview (featuring Xfce 4.8pre1) of the incoming stable version after a long period of development. The complete changes will be announced for the final version.
The installer includes a better detection method for the CD-ROM. The option to install GRUB in a root partition is back again. The installation of the packages is slightly faster with clzip-1.0 and lzip-1.10.
