1.6.2-beta1 (i686) ISO Released

[Richard Pyne]

Please tell me that the installation of the new extras is optional. The 
biggest reason I like Lunar is because I can install without extra 
unneeded junk. Over the years I have been using Lunar, there has been a 
steady creap in what is considered necessary to the point that I now have 
to unistall several things I don't want lying around after a basic Lunar 
install. X definitely is not necessary.
