Gayle Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Are these the official 2007.1 isos? ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/...ial/iso/2007.1/ [moved from everything linux by tyme] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 They look like it, but your guess is as good as mine. I did check the md5sum for it with a known mirror, just by looking at the files here and here. But that doesn't mean that it's the official ISO's - they could have modified them.

misfitpierce Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I will download and let you know if they work. Im guessing they would be real as mandriva.com now says mandriva spring now released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opvask Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Are these the official 2007.1 isos?ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/...ial/iso/2007.1/ They probably are. The ONE version can be downloaded from the official page. I can't find Free DVD yet though but I guess it will be there very very soon. I'm off to bed now. . Happy downloading people :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfitpierce Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Check mandriva.com again. They have working torrents etc up now... As said in another topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d_b Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) What about the 4 cd version? The release notes say there still should be 4 cd version, the 'what version should i choose'-post says that also and i've tried to search any news about it, but nowhere it says, that it's been discontinued nor does it say on the download page that it's coming. What exactly is the truth about this? Do i have to change the distro i'm using? Also the 'new' mandriva pages are very user unfriendly.

Ixthusdan Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Download One and install it. You can choose wither KDE or GNOME Configure your urpmi sources and install what ever you need that is not on One. For example, you can install all the window managers if you want. They are all available from urpmi. I do not see a 4 cd set. But the above will give you all the Mandriva that any set has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I found this on the club forum: http://forum.club.mandriva.com/viewtopic.p...b453484b5da6d41 If you don't want to use the One cd, you could always do the net install.

scarecrow Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 That's so true. Installation from the boot.iso is freaking fast+easy (provided you've got a broadband ethernet router), and you just have to download 10 MB for starters, not a lot of unneeded stuff. When I did the netinstall (some ten days ago, or maybe a bit more), the boot.iso had a bug: It automatically picked 2006.0 repos instead of 2007.1 ones. After changing them and picking a fast mirrror, what happened was the fastest and most troublefree Mandriva installation I even made. But the main thing is that 2007.1 works really well. I am curiouw to compare it with Feisty Fawn, which will enter today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 the download (ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/2007.1/mandriva-linux-2007-spring-one-KDE-cdrom-i586.iso) took me 30 minutes, very good for just a couple of days after elease!

Guest d_b Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well, i can wait. i don't even have the time now, but it's good to know, that they haven't totally gone mad and forsaken the CDs. They should've put this info on their download page though or atleast the release info. - point to mandriva for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) spring dvd iso 32 bits on linuxtracker hash is cecb40db7e9d37f2c46a12e533b29784ca810d34 but on ftp jussieu for the 32 bits the md5 is 01a36aa86f148b1b22092dcc0fe2a745 and ftp jussieu 64 bits 5fa556be0be267a5c3d65ccad72b7f41 so unless a hash is not a md5, or there is a slight change or any txt header was added (different checksum text file added to the torrent) no way to tell if these should not be identical have not compared the iso size... seems a wild goose chase Edited April 19, 2007 by emmanuel_uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I know that mandriva's early seeders program got really screwed up this time. The original early seeder isos were downloaded about two weeks ago and then everyone received an email from mandriva saying the isos were changed at the last minute. As a result, the previously downloaded isos were no good for early seeder purposes. It could be that some of the ftp sites you mention are distributing the old mdv2007.1 isos from the early seeders program. I only have the powerpack dvd iso so I can't directly check the md5sum.

emmanuel_uk Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 got really screwed up this time recognising bug in the iso at the time and pulling it out and putting a new one, I think this is a bit of courage and a good QA approach. OK, It should not have happened in the first place. But it looks like right decision taken at the right time. Anyhow this is discussed in another thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I don't have a problem with what they did. I'm just offering it as an explanation for the discrepancies in the md5sums of the isos from unofficial sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
