Dear Beta participants,

we are happy to announce the second RC of

	SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4.

ISO images are now available for download now. Please go to
http://www.novell.com/beta and select "View my beta page".
Here you should see all Beta's you are part of.

! Note that the directory will contain the images for the SDK as well as for
! SLES. Currently the SDK images are still uploading and not visible on all
! mirrors. We kindly ask you to check later today again in case you did not find
! them on the first try.


We offer 3 DVD ISOs: DVD1 contains the binaries, the second
DVD the sources and the third DVD the debuginfo packages. 
The final product will not contain the debuginfo packages on the media.

For installation purposes you just need media 1 for your architecture.

Please verify the md5sum of the ISO using the MD5SUMS file, which can
be found in the same directory on the download servers.


With this snapshot we have reached several milestones:
    o Milestone: All translations available.
    o Official ISV/IHV (re-)certification/validation starts.
    o Official partner acceptance continues.
    o Only showstopper and security bugfixes get integrated.

For the next release we are targetting these actions and milestones:
    o Milestone: Last documentation and translation fixes integrated.
    o Milestone: Last security and showstopper bugfixes integrated.
    o Milestone: All code frozen.
    o Milestone: Product ISO frozen. Goldmaster ISO released to partners.
    o Official ISV/IHV (re-)certification/validation continues.
    o Final acceptance/confirmation week starts
    o Further release note changes only possible via the online release notes.
