Guest zgwortz Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 I too would like this ASAP, but will be supportive of Mandrake's decision to allow the club members first dibs and wait 2 more weeks. It will be worth it I too will wait 2 more weeks (or longer). That way I can see all the feedback from all the early adopters and see if it's worth taking a chance on this update or not. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Download is done but no md5sums to be found. Here's what I got for the three isos: 40c8812dce7b9f8fb0a3b364af62b974 MandrakeLinux-9.2-17-Download-1.i586.iso e07fe7b1474eb3ba35cac3dfd479777e MandrakeLinux-9.2-18-Download-2.i586.iso 2b6ffc5957533c927f14197ec99a0372 MandrakeLinux-9.2-19-Download-3.i586.iso They say you don't have to worry about md5sums with bittorrent but I'd appreciate someone else posting what they get for comparison.

jlc Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 They say you don't have to worry about md5sums with bittorrent but I'd appreciate someone else posting what they get for comparison. That is correct, you don't have to worry about it. the entire time it's running through bittorent, it's running checks. I've used bittorent on old MDK/RH/Fedora/Slackware and never once had a bad iso. Download iso from ftp sites and that's up in the air.

illogic-al Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I too would like this ASAP, but will be supportive of Mandrake's decision to allow the club members first dibs and wait 2 more weeks. It will be worth it :D I hear it is possible to have 9.2 final today by doing a net install. The 9.2 rpms are posted on the official mirrors. Or I hear you can install a minimum 9.2 rc2 system and urpmi the updates from the mirrors and get the same product. that's what i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrsach01 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I started downloading last evening at my lab and went over night. I have all three iso's now. Unfortunately, I had to rely on a winxp computer. I never could get BitTorrent to work on my Linux box. I should add that both computers are identical in all respects except for OS. For linux, I unistalled components, reinstalled, tried seveal versions, etc. Nothing. On winxp, I ran the install, and ran the program. It just worked. Don't get me wrong. I love linux. I use it exclusively at work surrounded by win boxes. And I'll be installing 9.2 this evening. BUT I really am not happy with Mandrake for posting this update in a form not easily accessable by a Club Member. (And before I get flamed, Yes I did read the man pages; yes I did read the faq; yes I did post my problems on the Mandrake Users Board) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 well...talked the boss into letting me go home to get the isos ripped, and I gonna install it on a P4 w/ hyperthreading. that oughta speed it up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 well, they took the run option away from the right-click menu in KDE. wtf? this looks like libranet or something. It is esthetically pleasing, but it seems to fool proof for me. I am not impressed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
