New PLi® Helenite image for DM-600 PVR (and others)

[BGonaSTICK]

Dream Multimedia has finally shipped the first DM600PVR's. We think it is important to have a PLi® image available for the DM600PVR as soon as possible.
Therefore, we have decided about a week ago to make a Release Candidate public by releasing a new image called 'Helenite'.

As it is a Release Candidate, it might not be 100% completely bug-free.

Please report any issues or bugs, so we can fix it before the final release of Helenite.

The Original PLi® Helenite suite includes the following components:

Enigma 26-03-2007
Latest Dreamfiles and Dreamdrivers
Tuxtxt v1.99
Web Interface: 5.9.7-Expert - PLi edition

The Original PLi® Helenite suite contains the following images:

It runs really well on my 7020 Stick so theres no reason why it shouldn't be as good on the 600
