bergamote Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 hey, I liked that penguin!I may even put it as a default on MDV2006 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I wouldn't have thought that penguin had its partisans! The new penguin is quite special too, it looks up as if it were having an epiphany... or a visitation, or ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Well, I wouldn't have thought that penguin had its partisans! My husband refused point-blank when I offered to change the boot image on his computer, saying he liked the starry-eyed penguin! Hopefully he won't be too disappointed when I put 2006 on it BTW, does anyone know the release date for the iso's to those of us who are too poor/tight to pay for membership?

Reiver_Fluffi Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Sometime in November, there is no firm date (at least that has been made public knowledge!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 You can get the boot.iso (read my site, I used it for my latest installations) and install from ftp (or http, nfs, local hd). So you don't actually have to wait. Since you want to download the iso images I gather you do have the bandwidth. You could just get the mirror contents (~10GB) and install from local hd / local network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Anybody knows why the web interface for the Mandrake firewall (mnf-en) is not present in 2006.0, while it was there in 10.2/2005LE? Actually it was a nice/convenient interface for Mandy's firewall, removing it means that either there's something better (what? certainly not the webmin firewall administration module!), or Mandy decided that this is not free anymore...

aRTee Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 About the Intel stuff - you did notice the add during install, right? Anyway, there is now an 'interactive firewall'. More info here: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main...ractiveFirewall Why does everyone always suspect that Mandriva makes things 'no longer free' (as in beer) if it goes missing? When have they ever done that? (Maybe Iwas asleep at the time?) This is one of my main reasons to support Mandrake/Mandriva: all they do is GPL. So only the external code (which they include as a service to paying members) is not open. As the saying goes: never ascribe to malice what can be explained perfectly by incompetence. That applies regularly to Mandriva management and communications. Not in this case though.. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 :D No, I was aiming at the comment of scarecrow "or Mandy decided that this is not free anymore..." But you're right, due to the Intel packages, for instance proftpd had to be left out. Not a big issue IMHO, but Mandriva guys were not open about that...
