Dear all,

we know you are all eager waiting for the announcement of the GoldMaster.
Unfortunately shortly before the decision to rename GMC2 to GM, an issue on SLED was
detected (bug 936655, "System fails to boot up whith FCoE in special cases")
that we regarded to be severe enough to create another GMC to enhance the SP4
experience.

Please note this bug does NOT affect SLED 11 SP4 GMC2 but we had to rebuild SLED images due to one
modified package (open-fcoe, shipped in the installer, which is shared between SLED and SLES). 

This means an SLED 11 SP4 GMC2 installed system and a SLED 11 SP4 GMC3 installed system will be
identical. No reinstallation of GMC2 SLED is needed.

Only the base products were affected, we didn't had to touch the SDK.

To avoid confusions we have just renamed the SDK images to 'GMC3', but they are
identical to the GMC2 SDK images. You do not need to download new SDK images
them if you have already the GMC2 images for it.

The ISO images are available from download.novell.com and the usual
locations.

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.

Please verify the sha256sum of the ISO using the SHA256SUMS file, which can
be found in the same directory on the download servers.


Thanks for all your testing,

	Your SUSE Linux Enterprise Team
