rjpa Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi, I want to try out Mandrake 9.2 I have a few questions about it. 1. I've got a Wireless PCMCIA card (Cisco Aironet 350), does it work with MDK 9.2? 2. I want to use Kernels 2.6+ with XFS support, how and where do I get these for MDK 9.2? 3. I want to update MDK 9.2 from KDE 3.14 to KDE 3.2, how and where do I do this? I hope the questions above are not too lame. Cheers rjpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepes Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 First off.. welcome to the board and to Mandrake. Hope you enjoy it now for your questions.... 1. there is a supported hardware list somewhere, but I can't think of the url atm..I would think that it would work no prob. MDK has pretty good hardware support. 2. see this link for help with the kernel upgrade: Installing the 2.6 Kernel, Using urpmi: the easy way 3. There is a topic here about upgrading KDE also, can't find the link though... You should try using the search button at the top of the page. You could also solve 2 and 3 at the same time and install mdk10 beta2 instead of 9.2, It's still in testing but it has kde 3.2 and uses the 2.6* kernel. Hope this helps and again welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems OK on this list. :) This Cisco site may help. Edited February 10, 2004 by spinynorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
