Hardly, since those two files are part of the installer - they must be so classified since they are not installed, n'est ce pas? -- Regards, Ron. [au]

There are automatic RPMS repository rebuild every 15 minutes, while the install is rebuilt only when Pixel issues a "make upload" on the holy leia (no trolling). It has long been a complaint of mine that Cooker uploads do not appear to be synchronised to useability. Presently uploads are running at about 1000 files a week, often with lots of new RPMs one day and the installer to match not appearing until the next day. That situation falls below useful to us beta testers. It wastes a great deal of our time.Cannot the RPMs be held so that each upload is guaranteed self-consistent between RPMs and installer, both representing a step forward in the pursuit of Mandrake 8.0? Here are just some of the non-existent RPMs called for by the yesterday's installer: libsound0-0.2.22-3mdk libwmgif4-4.1.0-12mdk libimlib1-1.9.9-1mdk openssl-0.9.6-5mdk aspell-de_CH-0.1.2-1mdk is called for by an english-only install from English-only RPMs. binutils-2.10.1.0.2-3mdk ImageMagick-lib-5.3.0-2mdk ImageMagick-5.3.0-2mdk libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.9-5mdk rpmtools-2.3-10mdk portmap4.0-14mdk libmikmod-3.1.9-4mdk libgimp1.2.1-1.2.1-3mdk libesound0-devel-0.2.22-3mdk egcs-1.1.2-41mdk ... and so on. We should NEVER see any of this - these must be resolved before the upload. Isn't that just very simple and obvious? I'm waiting to see a build 449 upload with RPMs and installer mutually consistent. Please make sure that upload is announced. -- Regards, Ron. [au]

[Cooker] Advancing: Build 449 contains a 2.4 boot kernel
As some of you may have noticed, we were not using the 2.4 kernel during install, due to a bug in the ramdisk driver. After much pain, it seems to be fixed, and new build 449 contains a 2.4 kernel with this fix. So, hopefully, machines with 64 Mbytes doing FTP/CDROM installs should be able to install LM-8.0-beta with the new install, with the 2.4 kernel. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
