As of this afternoon, the Linux Athena installer will install Athena
version 9.2 by default.

There has also been a new release (version 4) of the Linux Athena install
media.  Images for floppy and CD are in the usual place in the bootkit
locker.  The new media is *not* required to install 9.2, however it does
contain new hardware drivers which allow installation on a variety of
newer hardware which was previously unsupported.  (The floppy version
supports many common network interfaces, including all Athena cluster
hardware.  The CD version should support virtually everything supported
by the latest Red Hat Linux kernel.)

Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.  Please
report any bugs you find with the "sendbug" command.
