About Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
-----------------------

This is the first maintenance release of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, which
continues to be supported with maintenance updates and security fixes
until June 2009 (on desktops) and June 2011 (on servers).

Over 300 post-release updates have been pre-applied, so that fewer
updates will need to be downloaded after installation, and a number of
bugs in the installation system have been corrected.  These include
security updates and corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a
focus on maintaining stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
We do not expect that certifications against Ubuntu 6.06 LTS will need
to be updated for this maintenance release.

See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for a list of Ubuntu security updates. All
updates to date affecting packages on the CD have been applied.

Some other particularly notable updates, with bug references where
available (see http://bugs.ubuntu.com/) are as follows:

   installing in Chinese but with a non-Chinese-speaking country

   if packages on the running live session are unconfigured (#47859), a
   crash with certain kinds of disk attached (#48732), more defence
   against gparted/qtparted crashing (#47194, #48856), improved handling
