+      This is the first release candidate for Frugalware 1.9.<br/>
+      <br/>
+      Starting with this release, our old display-manager-legacy.service 
and<br/>
+      /etc/sysconfig/desktop system has been replaced by a system where 
each<br/>
+      display manager provides their own service file. You can switch to 
this<br/>
+      new system by using the new dmconfig utility or through use of 
systemctl.<br/>
+      <br/>
+      Also, we have removed the vi symlinks that we used to provide. These 
were<br/>
+      hardcoded to a specific editor (VIM) before. The new system is to 
manage<br/>
+      these symlinks with the new viconfig utility or by manually creating 
the<br/>
+      symlinks to your preferred editor.<br/>
+      <br/>
+      At least one bug has been fixed since last release. The system for 
mounting<br/>
+      local packages to use as an install source has been redesigned to work 
more<br/>
+      consistently. Some users were reporting installation failures because 
of<br/>
+      how the package source was mounted before. This should now be fixed.<br/>
+      <br/>
+      Now for the installer instructions. You will need to login as root 
after<br/>
+      the ISO boots using the password fvbe. To run the installer, use the<br/>
+      command fwsetup.<br/>
+      <br/>
+      One final note is that we are looking for someone to design a new 16<br/>
+      color palette for the new installer. Currently it uses the color<br/>
+      palette from Mandriva's NEWT patches. If you are interested, then<br/>
+      contact us on IRC or the forums.<br/>
