I've played with 2008.1 beta and now with RC1 on my laptop (Acer Aspire 5315) and everything works fine. Sound and W-lan didn't work with 2008.

The only thing is, when i boot i hit the Esc-key so i can see what is happening during boot i see "UDEV" and it stops there for about 2 a 3 minuts. I find that to long, with 2008 you see "UDEV" an booted further.

I think he meant what kind of repos can he use.

Currently the cooker repos should be used for updating, installing.

 

I am still unclear on this point. Which cooker repos should be used for updates? (not installation)

 

Only the ones with 'update' in the title?

The above + Cooker Main?

All of them?

All except backports?

Some other combination?

 

I have tried the first two of these options and it makes a huge difference to what is offered when you elect to 'Update System'.

 

One other question on this topic. I downloaded cooker rc1. If I continue to update it does it eventually turn into the next release candidate then finally the finished product or is it necessary to download the next version each time one is released?

Since Cooker is the testing ground of Mandriva it doesn't make any sense using the backports and testing tree of cooker. You can use the rest.

 

During the testing phase cooker becomes frozen (no new version only bugfixes) and eventually becomes the stable distro. Mandriva puts it into the public mirrors then opens cooker again. So if you're not careful enough you'll have another unstable system again.
