Mandrake 9.2b1 Released, 2.6 Test Kernel in Cooker

Posted by timothy on from the making-things-easy dept.

DCowern writes "Mandrake today announced 9.2 beta 1 of their distribution. More interestingly, Mandrake has included a test version of kernel 2.6 in cooker (their development version). It's dated 27 July so it should be on all the cooker mirrors in the RPM2 directory by now. If you can't find it on your favorite mirror, it's definitely on ftp.sunet.se." Better yet, Bruha points to BitTorrent files for the 1st 2nd, and 3rd ISOs, and a link to the Mandrake 9.2 wiki, writing "Note that the beta1 installation uses the same kernel as 9.1 did, so if you had problems installing 9.1, you may want to wait for beta2 (which will use an updated kernel)."

    Beta 1 was put onto the mirrors on 22nd July. So by the time you read this, it'll be at beta2

    is mandrake trying to push an unfinished product on us?

    Those *jerks*! The nerve of them shipping a BETA release with bugs in it.

    And here I am, sitting around like a fool thinking "beta" was short for "betar than the final release".

    Since Red Hat is an American distribution, will it brutally murder innocent civilians after I install it? Will it leave dupleted uranium on your keyboard? Inquiring minds want to know.

    In this day and age of slapdash, sophmoric, poorly crafted trolls, it's a rare pleasure to find an artiste of your stature craft a world-class gem such as you've graced us with today. Patriotism, xenophobic rants, feux anti-capitalist baiting, dead and foreign language links, you wield them as a master wields the foil. Sir, I salute you and your unwavering determination to rise to the top of your field.
