jboy Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Mandriva Linux 2006 Beta 3 Reviewed http://distroreviews.com/index.php?view=109 I had Beta 2 installed, did an update just now and got 165 packages updated for the Beta 3 changes. Only problem I had - the mouse quit working but in harddrake, I changed to ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse from the default Any PS/2 or USB Mouse and it immediately began working again (without having to shut down and restart).

solarian Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I think I'll get it. Not that I'm in a particular hurry, but my current system too is nothing more than an update from 2005 RC2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I have the last rc (version 0.5) and it is a finished product. I especially like the new installation graphics--very clean and professional looking. I have already wiped 2005LE. I'll just utilize urpmi to update the rest. BTW, Nvidia installed flawlessly and my kt600 chipset works better than with 2005LE. Sound came up as well with no Nvidia nforce install. I just installed the video.

solarian Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) How is Mandriva 2006 called among devs when it leads to version numbers? I mean, we had 9.2, 10.0, 10.1, etc., what version is Mandriva 2006? 10.3? 10.5? 11.0?! edit: I'm downloading rc2 now. Synaptic (in rc2) seems very nice edit2: check out http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/2639 Edited September 15, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XData Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hello, do you know when the DVD version comes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Haven't tested everything as yet, but I am sure that PLF will have what I need very quickly! I especially like a kde 3.4 with no bugs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Do you think installing 2005 packages on 2006 is a bad idea? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Hello, do you know when the DVD version comes ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are no DVD's, officially that is. At the moment the RC's are only CD's. However you can get an unnofficial DVD for RC2 from here: http://www.gaganc.org/2006rc2.iso.torrent. Alternatively there is a bash script to merge the cd's into a DVD iso you could try for yourself, found here: http://webpages.charter.net/upsnag/misc/mdvcd2dvd.sh.gz Cheers Edited September 16, 2005 by Reiver_Fluffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This RC2 is really the future official version ? And Which sources do I have to use with urpmi ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) This RC2 is really the future official version ? Yes. There will be a few updates, but it's about 95%-98% of the official version (from my past experience). And Which sources do I have to use with urpmi ? Cooker as the main for now. Later you can set the real main source (of the to be released official version) as an update and from there update your RC to an official version. I'm not sure how Mandriva 2006 likes 2005 packages, but if there aren't any dire changes the 2005 packages should work ok. You can always replace them later when 2006 rpms come out.
