I found this:

 

One CD ISO

 

Mandriva One BETA CD ISO images

 

Mandriva One is a new all-in-one CD, including a live system to

run Mandriva 2006 on any computer with a CDROM drive, it includes

all the great Mandriva Linux 2006 software suite, such as KDE,

Mozilla-Firefox, Gimp and OpenOffice.org.

 

But Mandriva One also includes a new unique wizard to help you install

easily a Mandriva linux system on your computer, in only a few minutes!

 

This is a beta version of this new exciting product, so please rush to

download it and test it, and report all your bugs into Mandriva bugzilla.

I see this upgrade make me a lil bit worry since it doesnt ask you to update, since is a live CD is not aware that you already have mandriva on your HD, so my question would be a back up one, what should I backup. My lastest clean install I errase all my website projects under /var/www/html/

 

Also the mysql data which I am not sure where is it stored and finally some misc configuration like urpmi. Which also at this point I am not sure if its that necesarry since there is no package mirror for ONE 2006.1

 

Any suggestions or ideas on this areas?

I have a question about the Mandriva ONE CD.

 

I downloaded the ISO, burned it as an image. It works as a live CD, and it runs great as such, but I've heard that it can also create an installation.

 

I've looked through the options at bootup, and after it loaded, but I can't find the command or program used for installation. Where is it?

Is on the desktop is a gui app pretty straight forward however I installed and found some shortcommings since is beta I guess is ok.

 

But here are some of my surprises:

Firewall is enabled by default so make sure u configure it or turn it off since it might be blocking something and you might not be aware off.

 

It didnt detect my network card straight away, and had to put cardmgr

 

Flash was querky, and well I still have that problem

 

There are some issues with the font server I couldnt get vncviewer to run properly.
