Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated

The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its
stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename etch).  This update
mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release,
along with a few adjustment to serious problems.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux 4.0 but only updates some of the packages included.  There is
no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update against
ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late
changes.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update.

New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively
will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to
one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors.  A comprehensive list of
mirrors is available at:

    <http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist>


Debian-Installer Update
-----------------------

The installer has been updated to use and support the updated kernels
included in this release. This change causes old netboot and floppy images
to stop working; updated versions are available from the regular locations.

Other changes include stability improvements in specific situations,
improved serial console support when configuring grub, and added support
for SGI O2 machines with 300MHz RM5200SC (Nevada) CPUs (mips).


Miscellaneous Bugfixes
----------------------

This stable update adds several binary updates for various architectures
to packages whose version was not synchronised across all architectures.
