WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable andusable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes.
Like theLinux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate developmentstatus. Please check the 2.5 start page for more information:

Build Requirements
------------------

- The tarballs included in the release. :-)

- Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as image libraries, popt, and the freedesktop.org libraries collection. Most of these will be included with or available for your distribution, except the 'shared-mime-info' and 'hicolor-theme' modules - if you don't install those, your desktop will look ugly, but it will work. :-)

- Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop components for documentation).

Happy testing!

- The GNOME Release Team
