Re: [Cooker] HELP: Macmillan's packaging a pre-release of Mandrake 7.2
Hello All! This topic has gone on forever and sometimes makes this list quite annoying to read. We all understand what everyone is saying and all have our own oppinions. Can we drop this topic and PLEASE move on to other and more interesting issues, like the development cycle in Cooker? We have shared your messages with out bosses and managers so everyone is aware of them. Speaking for myself, I will stop reading this list if this continues, it is un-pleasant and not productive. I also know others who feal the same way. Please let us provide support for you but not indure this un-ending chain. Thanks, -Chris

The first release of the real 7.2 was to downloaders on November 2 and was build version-dated October 27. This is the first 7.2 that was not specifically branded a 'release candidate'. It is this release that was the subject of the various release announcements made around Novenber 2 by Mandrake. Walmart and Macmillan were selling something erroneously labelled Mandrake 7.2, with a build version-date of October 12 or 15 before November 2. Them's the facts. So that is that! -- Regards, Ron.

Re: [Cooker] HELP: Macmillan's packaging a pre-release of Mandrake 7.2
I live in the US, and it seems rumor has it I brought a pre-release copy of Mandrake 7.2 from Macmillan. Well I did buy a Macmillan copy, but can someone please tell me how can I find out if this 7.2 copy is a true pre-release? easy check ls /mandrake/RPMS/kde* if the kde rpms are 199 then you have a prerelease REGISTER YOUR COPY NOW AND CHECK THE SEND PATCH DISC thing at the very bottom (btw imn still waiting for my disc) Robert L Martin

Correction to my initial reply: Look at contents of the i586/VERSION file. The real 7.2 is identified as: from tree download: Linux-Mandrake Odyssey-i586 20001027 15:20 or from iso images download: Linux-Mandrake Download Edition Odyssey-i586 20001027 15:47 -- Regards, Ron.

Be glad. =) It's the real Mandrake 7.2. All you need to do now is fire up MandrakeUpdate, download and install the upgrades it will find for you (*not* development updates but normal updates!) and you will effectively have what Ron mistakenly called the "real 7.2" and is in fact 7.2 (what you have) plus updates (what you will have once MandrakeUpdate is completed upgrading packages). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc. www.linux-mandrake.com Current Linux uptime: 2 days 22 hours 2 minutes.

The powerpack he bought is the real version as advertised. Please let's not start this whole thread over again...

Well I did buy a Macmillan copy, but can i live in the UK, and would also like to know ? The only distingushing thing I could see was a numbered label on CD 1 envelope.
