Hi all.

I fixed the reported bugs and the second release candidate is now
available for download.

If you already downloaded the first DVD, you can download a binary
delta which can be used to patch the old one.  You will need xdelta3
for this (on Ubuntu you can just do sudo apt-get install xdelta3


use the following commands
first, change to the directory where the .iso is located, then do:
wget http://www.fireantproductions.com/delta.bin
xdelta3 -d -s pgdvd201004-rc1.iso delta.bin pgdvd042010-rc2.iso
rm delta.bin

and optionally

rm pgdvd201004-rc1.iso

If you haven't downloaded the previous version, or if the delta patch
doesn't work, you can find the new torrent at
http://www.fireantproductions.com/pgdvd042010-rc2.torrent

The md5sum for the new ISO is
B1EA6C8C15BB2EE84126227017F56310

Thanks.

Aaron
