[LON-CAPA-dev] 2.0.2 pre announce

[Stuart Peter Raeburn]

Hi Guy, 

Suggested changes:
1) You will need to be running Fedora Core 2 or 3 or 4, RHEL ES 4, Suse 9.2 
or 9.3, or SLES 9 

2)
    If running SuSE, use you to update standard packages on your machine, 
then use yast to (a) refresh your installation sources, and then (b) update 
the LONCAPA-prerequisites package.
    If running RHEL, use up2date -u to update your machine. 


Typos: everyone for everone in 

 - assigning a grade to everyone in a class works again
