william Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Is it worthwhile upgrading MDK 9.1 to 9.2 beta 1? I got the files for MDK 9.2 beta 1 and your opinion would be very much appreciated. What are the pros and cons of having a "newer" version, but beta, installed?

Ixthusdan Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Beta 2 is out now. Do not install betas as your main os. They are not intended to work, but are intended to find bugs. And beta 1 was extemely buggy! Beta 2 is better, but really, the distro will not be clean until the release candidate stage. If you have room for play, install it in a seperate partition. But don't replace 9.1 just yet! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Instead of upgrading your mdk9.1 to mdk9.2 beta, see if you can use a ~3.5GB partition to do a mdk9.2beta install to see if everything works. Just don't use your existing partitions (except swap), so you really create a new system, new users etc. True dualboot, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 aRTee, unfortunately I don't have HD for doing that. My only computer is a laptop with 20G and I have a bunch of stuffs that I need already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
