ianw1974 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 That's good news, will have to start downloading soon :P Currently only CD images, so I wonder when the DVD image will appear! EDIT: my mistake, mirror being updated :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I just entered manually the Mandy mirror closest to me (ntua.gr) and everything is there: minimal ISO, DVD, plus 3 CD images. I'll image my Arch installation on my laptop, and try this one (startiing of course from the minimal ISO, as always). I'm curious how some obnoxious hardware present (Motorola SM56 winmodem, Texas instruments 4-in1 card reader, embedded webcam, Realtek/Intel HD soundcard, Yukon Marvell NIC) will work either out-of-the box or without recompiling the kernel and using alchemistic recipes.

solarian Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 As I've heard MDV has problems with Yukon hardware :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 As I've heard MDV has problems with Yukon hardware :unsure: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's only with the netinstall as sk98lin is not available in the minimal boot iso. It should be on the download iso's (everyone else does). Just make sure that mandriva uses sk98lin and not skge (the open source driver) as it can't handle 2nd generation yukon cards!

solarian Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) ic, tnx on another note: the previous years (and versions) it was an easy choice - if there's a new version, install it asap, but now I've been trying hard to find a reason to install the new mandriva. my instincts still tell me - you have to have it, but then my reason says that all that you need mdv2005 already does perfectly (I've updated all the software). so I'm currently downloading the new version and will install it on my friend's computer sometime this week Edited November 14, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 so I'm currently downloading the new version and will install it on my friend's computer sometime this week <{POST_SNAPBACK}> friend is guinea-pig for testing :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) quite so I hope the new mdv won't have problems with his Windows partition and will give a good impression. The guy (and his room-mate) have never used Linux previously. Edited November 14, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I installed 2006 on my spare work PC that was urpmi upgraded from LE2005, and seems to be OK so far. At least I can run qemu this time with the kqemu module :P The only niggle from the urpmi upgrade is that some installs had signature problems, but I just forced them through. I'm unsure at present whether this affects CD/DVD installs, but will check later when my DVD has finished downloading, and then I'll try an install, and urpmi some software and see what happens.

Guest dianat100 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Here's one mirror: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.co...so/i586/2006.0/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not test or RC version, is it? The real thang, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) Just made a base install. The greek keyboard is still broken (well known issue), resolved via updating xorg with the latest one from Thac. Only icewm as window manager ATM, I will install 3.5.0 RC1 from thac and see how it works (under Arch it works fine, excluding automount, as KDE there was built without HAL support). Generally it works quite OK. Edited November 17, 2005 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
