durvish Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yeah but you never know --- it would be nice if these were upgraded 9.2 ISO's --- we'll see in a few hours as soon as I burn the cds and try an install on my test system.

durvish Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 These ISO's arenot --- I repeat not--- bootable! But with a little work they might be. Might be fun to play with though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 They are not bootable? Dang.. and here's me hoping that they could be our "official" 9.2 iso for MUB ftp site. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Mine was bootable, but I am at work so I didn't load it. I will at home this weekend and report back. One other item, on windows it reads as mandrake 9.1, but loading the install the header is 9.2. So who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted October 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 The 9.1 on the first screen appears also when installing from the official release. - One of the small 'features' in 9.2. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Forget about my last post here. K3B was ripping bad iso's --- after fixing k3b and burning new disks it booted just fine! A very fast and smooth install!!!! I checked for updates in MCC and it only called for 1 meg!!!! I don't have LG cd-roms so i'm not sure if these iso's have the fix in them -- please keep this in mind if your going to use these iso's. Maybe someone else here can check on that. I've only been up and running for about 30 minutes so I'll report back after I've done some playing around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 ANON!!! We have ourselves our own official 9.2 ISOS for MUB FTP site!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Ok, I upgraded my 9.1 with these 4 discs, only to discover when loading disc 2 that this is the cooker release. All seems good, but I'm far from being efficient with linux, it is a little different from rc2 that I tried. but now at boot I have the following options: linux linux-nonfb windows floppy 2421-13 old_linux old_linux-nonfb failsafe how do I rid myself of some of these? I'm thinking about dumping the 9.2 cooker, so alittle (ok, a lot) of is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 If you just need to delete the options, just edit your /etc/lilo.conf as root and delete / comment the appropriate sections. If you want to remove the old kernel entirely, first check what version of the kernel that are available by typing rpm -qa |grep kernel Then use urpme to remove the kernel you want to remove.

durvish Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 It's been 2 days now and it seems very stable --- nothing to complain about. If this keeps up I think I'll install it onto my main system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 So if I was the test subject for these ISO's and MUB uses them for official 9.2 ISO's does that mean my status gets bumped up to Super cool guy or something? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) The ISO's are no longer at ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-iso/i586/ message says they have been moved to http://linux.redbox.cz/people/bluehawk/iso/ but they are not there(as of 03/11/05 01.50 GMT)! Anybody knows of any alternative ftp? Tried also ftp://linux.redbox.cz/people/bluehawk/iso/ but site requires username & password ????

DragonMage Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Well I did see the md5sum for it.. so I guess it is still moving, or copying or something. If not, maybe they are remastering the cd to use the latest latest kernel (-22mdk) instead of the -18mdk they are using before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Tried also ftp://linux.redbox.cz/people/bluehawk/iso/ but site requires username & password ???? isnt that an indication that the server has the maximum number of connections? i encounter that one on the mirrors whenever a distro releases a new iso or something.. ciao!
