Jajaja..

all that needs to happen between this email and Thursday afternoon (UTC) is
for the ppc images to be checked! And, if you have chance, please also
check the kubuntu-ppc image, it will not be CD sized. Any of the 'standard'
ppc bugs can be applied to it so they can reference them in their release
notes.....

Speaking of which, now is good time to ensure that we are aware of the bugs
and the work-arounds.

Regards,

Phill.
