Ixthusdan Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Mandrake is, as usual, improving itself past the .0 problems. With the first beta, I did not even have to run k3b setup to do a burn! I have just installed beta 2, and the speed increase in kde is noticeable. I believe the kernel and the issues with the kde stuff are getting ironed out. I still do not have any sound, but I intend to play with that with this beta. For those of you who do not know, my sound vacated my computer with Mandy 10. Since windows, Libranet, PCLinux, MEPIS, and everything else manages to give me sound, I am assuming that Mandrake has an interesting issue. While many have found Mandy 10 to be great, I have seen it as yet another .0 experience, with little buggy issues. Traditionally, Mandrake X.0 releases have been innovative but buggy. By the time they get to a X.2 release, the os is superb. This is intended for a heads up to users who might be brave enough to try a beta. This is a good beta, as was the beta 1. Oh, yeah, they included pysol this time, which I could not get to even compile on beta 1. Nvidia drivers compiled and worked on both betas.

feralertx Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 MDK 10.1 beta 1 seemed like a good release to me too. I upgraded from 10.0 OE to 10.1 b1 with no problems, everything was working ok, but then, after installing updates (quite a few in daily basis) many things broke or stop working. Im downloading b2 and will reinstall from scratch as soon as i get it. Is it true Cd buning is broken? if so, hope it gets fixed asap.

Ixthusdan Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I burned the beta 2 in beta 1. I'll try burning later. I am having to modprobe the nvidia driver each time, so I'll manually fix that as well. I found out a while back that updating cooker daily can indeed render your computer useless!! :D I have had better experience with clean installing the betas.

rescue Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Great! Never expected a lot from B2 but this one rocks. My bluetooth works with no configuration after install!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I expect to see kde3.3 in the final anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper_Maniac Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Is there any word on if you can install fine on nforce mobos unlike 10OE where it had problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodFlesh Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 nforce works fine with noapic nolapic and acpi=off at install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodFlesh Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 To install cooker, you only have to burn the boot.img file (8Mo) to a cdrw or usb stick and then you can do a network install with a cooker mirror and the /Mandrakelinux/devel/10.1/i586 directory.

aRTee Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 rescue, could you inform us which bluetooth you have? To all others, is it possible yet to do an installation from iso images on a harddisk partition that will not get 'touched' during install?

solarian Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 By the time they get to a X.2 release, the os is superb. I find 10.0 official a lot more stable than 9.2 which was a lot more buggy for me than 9.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
