wilcal Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've had 2006.1.0.3 up on my test machine for 4 days now. Mandriva has been putting some considerable effort into the cold start -> boot -> usable desktop process and I have to agree that this is one of the strong points of this first look. There are some package errors during the install but it all loads in nicely and gets to a working desktop quickly. They've kinda not done anything with Gnome for this release so most of that is not usable at this time. The install, just like previous versions of Mandrake and Mandriva, behave themselves and don't walk all over how you have your hard disk configured. So you can easily dual boot it with other OS's on other partitions on the same HD. I use the Ranish Partition Manager for this process. Next official snapshot is set for 2006.02.15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
