ROCK Linux (this space intentionally left blank) Release Candidate 2

hi rockers,

i just uploaded RC2 to iso.rocklinux.de, and updated the network install 
location, so please, if you didn't start testing yet, use this version, 
it has all the previously reported bugs fixed.

as last time, the central page for release candidates is

http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Release_Candidates

using rocket update will work in the next RC, the regarding patch is 
already in Submaster. Please, remember to increase the extraversion  if 
you alter a package in a way that has effects on the resulting .gem and 
does not include a package version upgrade! (this is also a reminder to 
myself 8)

all official crystal builds are pentium-mmx, and the bootdisk is unoptimized.

how about we just call it ROCK Linux 3 ? There are lost of numbers, and if we only use major numbers, we can't suggest any compatibility. This would leave us the option to do major.minor releases if we want (and if manpower increases).

what do you think?
