[Dan Barber]

I'm happy to finally announce the release of mutagenix-2.6.18.6-2.  This 
release includes a rescue disk (without X) and a KDE disk.  This is mostly 
a bugfix release to address problems discovered in the installer, but 
there are several new options available. Of note are the USB installer 
and a reworked remastering utility.
