[expert] 9.1 vs 9.2RC2 ???

2003-09-23 Thread Magnus Wirström
Hi everyone
 
During a power failure my 9.1 installation got trashed
to beyond repairs. Strange because I was using XFS,
But power was flickering for some secs before going
out, probably messing XFS up. Anyway ... Now I have to
reinstall Mandrake again and I am wondering if I
should go with 9.1 again or is it worth a try with
9.2RC2 ??? is there any downs with 9.2RC2, big bugs or
does it work good enough to replace 9.1 already, also
is it possible to update to 9.2 final thru Mandrake
update function ?
 
I'm really happy if I get some quick answer
Thanks
 
Have a nice day
Magnus

boot to a rescue disk, then run xfsrepair. you may not have todo 
anything morethan that to get your xfs fs working.

If possible, you are probably better off doing an FTP install of Cooker.  
 If not, do an install of RC2, but install only what you really require,
then update when final is released.

And yes, it should be quite easy to update to final.

Darn :( I have already tried to use 9.1 doing a
upgrade in my system. I wonder if xfsrepair works now.
I really wish I had known the existance of xfsrepair
before :( I will try running it because I can boot
into my system but that's about it. I really hope it
can work ...
