Guest ndeb Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 One of the things I like about Mandrake the most is that they make their distributions avaliable to all straight away. So do I. But mandrake needs the money. And the free downloads can easily wait 2 weeks. If mandrake goes down, there will be no free downloads (unless it goes the way of debian).

Guest ndeb Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Not the final, still 9.1rc3. But definitely the last RC. http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn...014-26-NW-MD-SW However, I looked at ftp://ftp.rediris.es/mirror/mandrake/iso and noticed that the above story may not be true after all, which means RC3 = final.

Guest ndeb Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Can anyone post the md5sum for cd1 of 9.1rc3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Why does the article reference the "one iso file" I see three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this link, the final looks like it is being uploaded as I type this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I think it has to be final. What would be the point of having a secret release candidate? As to the one iso issue, while trying to find a good mirror, I recall seeing one with only one iso, several with three and most with rc-2. I think LT is just speculating as we all are I guess.

shoegoo Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Osnews is running an article "World Exclusive: Mandrake Linux 9.1 Review" It was posted today, it says it deals with 9.1 final. RC3 must be final. Here is the link http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=3116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegoo Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Well its official, 9.1 RC3 is final got this from PCLO Dear Mandrake Mirror, If you don't have any time just leave this message. The mirroring will be done automatically. The new Mandrake 9.1 is available now.It's would be great if you could speed up the availability of the 9.1 isos. In order to make the ISO available now you just need to copy the rc3 from +Mandrake-iso directory to Mandrake/iso: cp -a Mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.1-rc3-CD1.i586.iso +Mandrake/iso/Mandrake91-cd1-inst.i586.iso cp -a Mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.1-rc3-CD2.i586.iso +Mandrake/iso/Mandrake91-cd2-ext.i586.iso cp -a Mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.1-rc3-CD3.i586.iso +Mandrake/iso/Mandrake91-cd3-i18n.i586.iso Thank you! Jacques http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?n...rticle&sid=4747 Cheers!!

ezroller Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I was going to say that the french sites had rc3, but here's 9.1 Final! ftp://hq.alert.sk/pub/linux/distributions...s/mandrake/iso/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Yes rc3 is the final the md5sum for the first rc3 cd is the same as the final cd1 md5sum. With my slow 128Kbit adsl it takes 12hrs too grab an iso i hope they don't rename the iso's as im downloading, that might confuse wget a tad :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
