Ronin Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Thanks,but I think I'm going to wait till the next release or maybe the final before I download it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 mine's technically broadband, but 256k adsl is too slow to download 3 CDs...I'll have to go to my friend's cable connection to download it. I'll have to wait then... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 This is the final. Hmm I keep saying this, people really got confused by the new release cycle -- this is as much final as previous Mandrake finals were. 256Kb/s is fast enough, it will just take a bit longer, but bittorrent was 20KB/s and that still downloaded fine for me. At least your phone line is not blocked for days... good old analog modems... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's not totaly accurite, but that is the fealing of it. I have found that the .2 releases are always best. I will install 10, but just the cheap-bytes version, same with 10.1, and then when it rolls around, I'll buy 10.2 powerpack on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamandra Posted March 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 A friend of mine in the US is downloading it via FTP (using CuteFTP) and in just 8 hours could finally download 2 of the 3 CD images using a 256k connection. I will wait till my pack from easylinuxcds arrive :D Regards Salamandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adriano Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'm on 256 Kb ADSL, downloading steadily. With a bit of luck, sometime tomorrow I'll be installing. What say you? Stopping to eat, or something like that? No sire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 With my cable I got my isos pronto (avg 350-400KB/s), but can't get a boot off of cd1! Tried using my often used cdrw's in Linux and Win and a fresh cd-r, but it won't boot. Md5sums are fine. Yuck! Burned with crrecord and roxio.

Yes and no. It's no different from what you would download, but the download version is VERY different from the powerpack. The powerpack comes with all the sources and the commercial nvidia drivers are on the disks. Also, the powerpack comes with a lot of commercial/non-GPL software that con't be distributed in a free download. Also, it's unclear if the cheap0bytes comes with the 4th CD or not.

VeeDubb Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Oh, and of course, the powerpack on DVD is like $60, the cheapbytes CD's are like $8.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Saw post about booting from cd2; did it and things booted well, but things fell apart at disk partitioning. My harddrives are hda all Windows 2000 (three partitions) and hdb Linux (Mdk 9.2, Suse, and empty space for 10). However the partitioning tool does not see anything on hdb. A bug here that was never here with 8.0-9.2, Suse, and Debian. It's a funny hd as it is a 75GB WD, but my Mobo can only see the first 33.8GB. I guess I'll have to report a bug. Anyone else have something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDog Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Downloaded the three ISO's yesterday and burned them out. Are looking forward to play with them this weekend :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
