WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and
hacking purposes. Like the Linux kernel, GNOME uses odd minor
version numbers to indicate development status. 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. These should all be included with or available for your
distribution. - 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
