1)No. waiting for the final version
2)Yes
3)No. Package movement between core and extras has not happened. Might have some changes before the final version.
4)You can spin Fedora Extras ISO images or use yum. Installer uses yum as the backend now so getting extras support in the installer is planned in a future release

1. Is the new GIMP beta (2.3.x) included?
2. Is OO.org 2.0 included?
3. With 5 cds, has any software previously dropped (such as Abi and KOffice) been reinstated?
4. What about Scribus? Is it included on the C. D.s now, or do you still have to obtain it via Yum?
Thanks.
