In time of course it will. At the moment 10.1 is currently only available in 'Community' either as an iso download for Mandrake Club members or as a bunch of RPMs on the public Mandrake-devel mirrors. Anyone with access to broadband and some moderate Linux knowledge can upgrade to 10.1Community either by performing a network install, or else simply changing their urpmi sources to point at the 10.1 community mirrors. The Wiki describes this procedure. A word of caution though. 10.1 community is by no means a finished product. I have been running it for three days now and have found three nasty problems so far. The whole point of community is to thrash out bugs. No doubt in time the nasties will get fixed. If you want a stable product then wait for 10.1 official. derek For those interested in the 'nasty' problems, they are :- X forwarding of gtk applications (like mcc) does not work from a remote machine to a 10.1 device. (If someone could confirm that I would be grateful) If you pass folders between machines with konqueror using either Samba or fish:// mounts konq will lock up and the mount will not unmount. One of my computers will not boot the 2.6.8-10mdk kernel at all. The screen just goes blank. Other kernels are OK. -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
