Mister Lanman ? Gee, I feel like I should be wearing a tie! Anybody wanna buy a bridge ? Grin! This is the page where you can find the download links. http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/100beta.php3 I can't say for sure whether or not it will work well on your system, but if you back up your files and home folders before starting an install, you can always re-install 9.2 and copy your data back - if needed. If your install goes as well as mine did, I think you'll enjoy it! You should see a difference in performance as well. Remember to set "/" for 2.5 Gb's and "/usr" for at least the same amount. "/var" can live with 1.5 Gb's, and you should make your "swap" file at least 400 Mb's. On a side note, I wanted to ask the list about something I just discovered. When I did my 10.0 RC1 install, I created a 4 Gb root partition ( "/" ), a swap and "/home" partitions as well. However, the /usr partition used up almost half of that. The next time I went to install an application, I found out that I was out of space onn the "/" partition. Having some left over space on my drive to be used as storage, I deleted the storage partition, and added a new "/usr" partition. This is where it's gets a little "sexy". As soon as I selected /usr for the mount point, diskdrake popped up a new window asking me if I wanted to transfer the data from the "/usr" directory ( still sitting on the "/" partition ), to the new "/usr" partition i was creating. It then procedded to transfer the data without a problem, updated /etc/fstab, and it was done! Is this a feature that everyone knew about? Or is this a new feature in 10.0 ? Has anyone had this happen before? This was slick! I've never heard of an "auto-transfer" before!
