Description:
    An updated set of installer-related packages is available.  These
    updates will apply to software appliances and derived distributions
    built with new anaconda-templates.  Any software appliance or
    derived distribution that uses custom anaconda-templates will have
    to update anaconda-templates to take advantage of the improvements
    in this release.  These updates will also apply to rPath Linux 1.0.4
    when it is released.
    
    Memory and processor consumption has been significantly reduced.
    The "reading package information" step in particular is approximately
    five times faster in several tests, and dependency resolution is more
    than twice as fast.  Both steps use approximately 25% less memory.
    The anaconda-images package has an unused 5 megabyte image removed
    from it, saving space on installation media.
    
    Text-mode HTTP, FTP, and hard drive installs are now enabled.  This
    additional functionality consumes approximately 12 megabytes more
    space on the first image in multi-image sets.
    
    Remote installs via the VNC protocol are now enabled.  This additional
    functionality consumes approximately 4 megabytes more space on the
    first image in multi-image sets.
