pmpatrick Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I only see cd1 on the mirrors as of this morning but cd 2 and 3 for rc1 should be on the mirrors in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm not a tester: mainly no time :(, not enough disk space :( That beeing said, may I sugest you _upgrade_ to 9.2rc1 do _not_ install it ! Upgrade really need to work properly and it is difficult to implement. I would be not surprised if Mandrake will enjoy your report on that matter. roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Now see.. this is what I miss when I don't have broadband.. grmbl grmbl.. I used to test RC version of mandrake since download wise it's doable with dsl, but now in a country without broadband.. I am stuck with 9.1. Hoping 9.2 final is as bug free as possible so to prevent excess dialup usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Upgrade in Mandrake ALWAYS is a problem. You almost invariably want to do a re-install, leaving your /home partition intact... rather than doing an upgrade. Mandrake's team needs a lot of work in this area. I couldn't wait for 9.2 so I went with SuSE 8.2 Professional, myself. Distribution channels for Mandrake continue to be an issue. I wasn't willing to do and wait for a mail order, and I don't have access to broadband for personal use (not enough to download several CDs worth of data, anyway).

pmpatrick Posted August 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 You can get mdk 9.1 and an update cd for around $10 delivery included here: http://www.edmunds-enterprises.com/linux/index.php If you don't have broadband, places like edmonds or cheapbytes are the only way to go.

mystified Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hmmm, may have to create a new partition and check it out. I really hope a lot of the bugs from 9.1 are gone. I'm tired of finding work arounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegoo Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I just noticed that on the Mandrake homepage there is a headline dated August 28 (its still the 27th here in Arizona) that says RC2 will be here soon. It may be the original RC1 article, but Its an odd post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 How are/did the betas shape up? I haven't been able to install any of them this time, because I'm stuck in Blackburn doing industrial experience for Uni. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystified Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 So do we have all the iso's in our own mirror? RC1 is. Just check the downloads link. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I couldn't wait for 9.2 so I went with SuSE 8.2 Professional, myself. Just out of curiosity, How do you like SuSE 8.2 compared to say your last Mandrake installation? Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 First mtweidman, my sympathies. I went to school in Blackburn. No wonder the stones found it necassary to fill their arms with a thousand holes to drown out the misery. Pop trivia: quick off topic, that what the beatles song immortalises. Anyway back on topic... I was dismayed yesterday to check out what is arguably Europe's biggest computer bazar (don't argue against me thisd is what I was told by the manufactuerers that display there). They are still selling Mandrake 8.2. And 9.0 and 9.1. Whats a first time noobie meant to think. This is FRANCE...home of Mandrake and they can't replace the old stock.... Something is seriously wrong with there marketing ... http://www.surcouf.com logiciel/systems de exploitation/linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
