Recommended Posts

The second pre-release of Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring is here. This pre-release brings -

* a near-final snapshot of KDE 4.0

* new NVIDIA and ATI drivers

* the chance to test the experimental nouveau open source driver for NVIDIA cards

* kernel 2.6.24rc7

and more.

 

See here for download information. As far as testing goes, for this pre-release we are particularly interested in testing PulseAudio, hardware detection and hibernation support. Please report any problems with sound functionality, and any mis-detected or un-detected hardware, to Bugzilla.

Don't really understand the file sizes on this site: http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/Man.../2008.1/alpha2/

 

 

For the three cds we have:

mandriva-linux-2008-spring-free-cd1-i586.iso = 694 M

mandriva-linux-2008-spring-free-cd2-i586.iso = 697 M

mandriva-linux-2008-spring-free-cd3-i586.iso = 662 M

 

For the one dvd we have:

mandriva-linux-2008-spring-free-dvd-i586.iso = 300M

 

 

Seems the cds must have a lot of over head. ??? :huh:

 

 

EDIT

Went to another site: http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr.../2008.1/alpha2/ and the dvd size was reasonable: 4.3G

Not only do you have to check before downloading, but after you have in installed, the software sources need to be updated prior to running updates, almost daily. As it is. I have several updates that cannot install, probably because of rsync on the mirror I use.
