| 16 | I think that it's time to promote our revisions to a newer version, as a
|
|---|
| 17 | proof of increased stability, and result of lots of cleanup and
|
|---|
| 18 | improvements, even if some small known bugs remain (and other could
|
|---|
| 19 | always appear). So here are mindi 1.06 / mondo 2.06 aka Christmas
|
|---|
| 20 | Release :-)

|

| 41 | I've used them for a restore of a failed server recently (PXE mode) so

| 43 | people not using RPMs)

|

| 45 | I'll off till begining of next year, so I wish you all the best for this
