solarian Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Just installed RC2, seems to be ok. I really like SMART Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I generally do not advise using old sources for updates. Some things, like card games, might be ok. But, use cooker for now. When the official is released, they will post a tree. Use the tree to get the official. Later, they will post the update mirrors. Change again.

tjansson Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 So the estimated time of arrival is tomorrow. I looking forward -- Do any of you know a mirror to do a netinstall from then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 if its going to be released tom then i would need to wait another month for it to be publicly released. i wish it would be released to the public at least a week before i go home so that i can download it via torrent. :D ciao!

solarian Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Or you can download and install the RC2, then set the MAIN source as an UPDATE and update to the official version through urpmi. You'll have to wait till there is some main mirror available though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiver_Fluffi Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 is the release date (20/09/05) for club members though! with a community release some time after....

manf0001 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Mandriva 2006 is a lot better then my prev 10.1. although just a few glitches about it though. My ipod is not Hot plugable. In order for my Firewire ipod to be reconized I have to install Mandriva with it connected, and then it shows a USB icon in the devices section for my ipod, but then it won't alow me to disconnect it properly, it tells me only root can. I boot into Root and I get the same message, as well I can't delete files out of it unless I go to /mnt/ipod go figure Also the joystick config util in the System sub-Menu will not load up, it will just show the joystick on the bottom panel like it's trying to load then just disappear. But other then that it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adriano Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I just installed it after a few tries. It seems it didn't like (in my case) the ftp connection. It stalled when installing firefox, and it looked like it was trying to ftp it from the server (ireland first, france second). Possibly some glitch in cooker. Anyhow, disabling ftp did the trick. I really like it. Boot time is down, speed is up, everything is detected, looks sweet... I really like this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, YES. Dammit there's no gloat smiley here :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Forget the gloat smiley, turns out, in another twist of events, that club users will have to wait a couple of weeks to get a hold of the iso's. Mandriva does not want them released before the box's are available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 The early seeders now have access to the iso's. This was planned to be implemented four days before the release to club members, which is estimeted to be 3rd October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'm assuming that Cooker currently is reasonably close to what the upcoming 2006 release will be. Is this right? At what point will it start diverging from 2006 and how would we know when that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 For cooker, look for a "freeze" date and then a release from being frozen. When cooker is frozen, it is identical to the release. Unfreezing, of course, means that development starts again, and all bets are off!

Is this right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cooker is currently frozen, the snapshot is (or should I say "should be") exactly what you will get from the free version (i'm running on cooker right now without a hitch, although I haven't tried to update anything since the last freeze), available November-ish. One of the gripes over at the club is that the last time anything commercial was tested was way back at Beta3, none of the commercial packages were tested en mass under either of the RC's. Just need to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
