Release Notes
- the VNC server is started automatically with the vnc option in the parameters file, so you don't need to use SSH connection first, just wait a bit and start your VNC client
- the option for installing with X forwarded over SSH was removed
- very rarely a kernel panic can happen with 3.6.x kernel from the GA repositories, it is fixed in the 3.7 kernel available in the updates repository, please see this kernel commit for more information
for older notes see Architectures/s390x/17
