The Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu teams are proud to present a second Beta release of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu 6.06 LTS, codenamed “Dapper Drake”. This release corrects some serious flaws in the installer present on the Desktop CD in the first Beta release. Although thetext-mode install CD also forms part of this release, it has not been modified since Beta 1.
An updated Xubuntu release is also in preparation and will be announced shortly.

Changes from 6.06 LTS Beta 1
----------------------------
* If the Desktop CD installer crashes, a signal handling issue in Beta
1 meant that it was possible for its subprocesses to run wild, which
was reported to damage partition tables in some cases (#40464). This
has been corrected.
* A number of crashes in the Desktop CD installer have been fixed,
including a keyboard selector crash when a country without a default
keyboard was chosen (#40658), a Kubuntu crash on entering a
non-ASCII name (#40666), a language selector crash when choosing
certain languages (#41132), and a Kubuntu crash in partitioning for
certain languages (#41621). If the installer still crashes, it will
now try to provide useful information that we can use to fix the
problem, so please use this release in preference to any earlier
one.
* Atheros wireless network cards are now usable after installation
