Is it worthwhile upgrading MDK 9.1 to 9.2 beta 1?
I got the files for MDK 9.2 beta 1 and your opinion would be very much appreciated. What are the pros and cons of having a "newer" version, but beta, installed?

Beta 2 is out now.
Do not install betas as your main os. They are not intended to work, but are intended to find bugs. And beta 1 was extemely buggy! Beta 2 is better, but really, the distro will not be clean until the release candidate stage. If you have room for play, install it in a seperate partition. But don't replace 9.1 just yet! :wink:

Instead of upgrading your mdk9.1 to mdk9.2 beta, see if you can use a ~3.5GB partition to do a mdk9.2beta install to see if everything works.
Just don't use your existing partitions (except swap), so you really create a new system, new users etc. True dualboot, if you will.

aRTee, unfortunately I don't have HD for doing that. My only computer is a laptop with 20G and I have a bunch of stuffs that I need already installed.
