Release Candidate

We're getting closer to the final version of Mandrake Linux 9.0. This Release Candidate offers a first opportunity to evaluate all the job done during the Beta stages. Your participation is highly appreciated.

The development team wish beta-testers to focus on the following applications:

GNOME2, KDE3, OpenOffice: These stellar applications have undergone many improvements, they deserve a new evaluation.
Dynamic Desktop: When plugging-in a peripheral device, Dynamic Desktop enables the automatic display of a shortcut easing the launch of an associated application in KDE or GNOME. Dynamic Desktop is now functional for USB storage. Please give it a try.
Drakconf: We would like to obtain your feedback on the new ergonomics and look.
Mozilla 1.1, finally why wouldn't you play with the latest Mozilla ? According to the release notes, Mozilla 1.1 offers improved application and layout performance, stability, Web site compatibility, CSS, DOM and HTML standards support.


The installation changelog is available here. You can also browse the package-oriented changelog.


Known issues:

- The message "Unresolved symbol ov11" may appear during the computing of kernel modules dependencies. This will be fixed thanks to a new kernel upload.
- Users who have a cd burner will experience difficulties when launching Drakconf. The problem is fixed in drakconf version 9.0-0.17mdk.
- Texts (advertisement) may overlap during installation. This will be fixed soon.
- A bad file list is sometimes copied at the end of the installation, preventing Urpmi and RpmDrake from finding packages. This issue is under investigation.


How to report bugs for Beta 9.0?

We'd appreciate feedback from the largest number of Beta testers, so there
are a number of ways to help make sure Mandrake Linux 9.0 is the best release
ever:

1) If you enjoy getting "hands-on" and are quite good with Linux (with
several years of experience), the best bet is for you to subscribe to the
Cooker mailing list so you can directly communicate with the MandrakeSoft
developers.

2) If you don't have time to get deeply involved but have a good level of
Linux knowledge, the best bet is to ask for a BugZilla account for posting
bug reports. To obtain a BugZilla account, send an email to
'request@qa.linux-mandrake.com' with "canpostabug" in the body of your
message. Note: you must first create a BugZilla account if you do not have
one yet.

3) If you are quite new to this whole Linux/UNIX(TM) thing, you can report
bugs by submitting them to MandrakeExpert -- just cite 'Mandrake Linux 9.0
beta1' as the product version.

а если модема то и искать то негде

Дрова не надо искать, нужно просто знать, поддерживает ли XFree твою видеокарту

3.3 Can I write to an NTFS Volume, too?

NO.

There are two drivers, currently. The original driver, in 2.4 has some write code in it, but it is extremely dangerous to use it. The possibility of destroying your filesystem is very high.

The new driver, introduced in 2.5.11, has no write code at all. This may sound like a backwards step, but it was necessary to rewrite the driver in order to make the future coding simpler and more solid.

Adding write support will take a long time. NTFS is built like a database. Any changes you make, necessitate making changes in many places, for consistancy. Make a mistake and the filesystem will be damaged, make too many mistakes and the filesystem will be destroyed. Also, the current developers are only working on NTFS as a hobby, during their free time. If you'd like to help, please email me: webmaster@flatcap.org.

Партишенов желательно несколько

но 256 все равно лучше

У меня и NTFS работает в режиме read/write

А потом уже качать 3 исошника.

Всмысле? 2х не хватит?

а еще говорят не желательно для 128 мег.

Да ну... Качать так качать, а то ставить - удалять, опять качать опять ставить... Что мне, у меня же не 28.8 кбпс, у меня 56.

то жалко будет потраченного времени

ALT Linux Junior 2.0

На 4-м Пентиуме можно потерпеть

В дистрибутив Junior 2.0 не входят средства разработки, но они доступны теперь на дополнительном втором диске.

На второй диск вошли:

- gcc-2.96

- glib2-2.0.3
- дополнительные модули для Perl
- интегрированные среды разработки kdevelop-2.1.1 vdkbuilder-2.0.1, а также средства локализации программ kdesdk-3.0.1
- ряд пользовательских приложений - текстовый процессор abisuite 1.0.2, средство управления проектами mrproject-0.5.1,
- бинарный пакет Quake2 и пакет для организации сетевой игры - quakeforge.

Вот это мне не нравится. Ну что, сложно им было закинуть gcc на первый диск?

As a result of more than four years of experience and continued innovations, MandrakeSoft is proud to announce the release of Mandrake Linux 9.0. This newest version of our flagship product delivers an unparalleled level of technology for desktop users as well as extensive and unique server features.

The famous "Mandrake touch" is evident throughout the many clean, attractive and friendly desktops to make everyday tasks easier for all users of a Mandrake system.

Although Mandrake has been a long-time leader in the Linux desktop field, the numerous high-end server features available in Mandrake Linux 9.0, combined with the most extensive beta-testing period in MandrakeSoft's history, will surely make Mandrake Linux 9.0 the ultimate server solution for corporate users, government agencies and education environments.

System overview

Mandrake Linux 9.0 features the following software:


Kernel 2.4.19
XFree 4.2.1 & XFree 3.3.6
Glibc 2.2.5
GCC 3.2
KDE 3.0.3, GNOME 2.0.1, IceWM 1.2, WindowMaker 0.8, Enlightenment 0.16.5, BlackBox 0.62
OpenOffice.org 1.0.1, KOffice 1.2
Mozilla 1.1, The GIMP 1.2.3, XMMS 1.2.7

Mandrake Linux 9.0 is optimized for Pentium and higher processors (and compatibles), and therefore does not run on earlier x86 processors.

Кстати, прочитал что мне 3ий компакт пока еще не нужен там интернационализация, да и на втором только экстрас

По причине отсутствия резака и нежелания тащится к знакомому ради нарезки диска решил ставить с харда. Нашел образ, который надо нарезать на флоп, подключил шлейф к флопу (когда комп чистил, вынул и забыл вставить), загрузился с дискеты и получил облом - программа установки не может брать файлы из исошника (который они дают скачивать), надо выковырять все файлики и выложить в отдельную директорию на тарелочке с голубой каемочкой. Ну ничего - выложим. Линуксоиды легких путей не ищут . Может быть все-таки сегодня начну устанавливать .

Добавлено
Как всегда при установке Линукса, начались проблемы с установкой пакетов. Просто выдается ошибка "не получается установить модуль ***". Насколько я понял (теперь), проблема заключается в том что я должен был выложить в дерикторию содержимое всех дисков, а не только первого. Но все-таки можно ли сказать по-человечески, что файл не найден, попробуйте проверить, есть ли он там? Или лучше выдавать ошибку "не получилось установить модуль, гадайте на кофейной гуще если хотите узнать почему"?

Человеки, ХЕЛП. Докачал первый CD и записал его на болванку, решил проверить как с него грузится и что там к чему, может даже покажет данные о совместимости системы. А диск НЕ загрузочный. Что за баг? Может его самому надо делать загрузочным?

RPM3 - это третий диск
