Hi,

I don't want to release Milestone6 as it is right now (build1023). There are various issues blocking:

- /etc/mtab still is not right (broken by yast during installation bnc#665437) - Artwork is a bad mixture and this is the last milestone (bnc#665439) - kernel on i586 still acting up (bnc#660464)

minor issues (for M6): - the progress bar of the live cd is not moving between 16-92% (bnc#665413) - the live cd does not boot into the kernel (kexec broken?) - the kde live cd crawls heavily

I hope that we fix the mtab one quickly and perhaps there is artwork left to submit, but the kernel one is pretty ugly and there isn't any easy fix at the moment. Hopes are high though that we can release it next week.

Greetings, Stephan
