I've put it on my laptop. works fine. LVM support in DiskDrake (had it on 9.1, but it had some problems. now it works). good power managment, ACPI finally working. KDE 3.1.3 (not 3.1.4), OpenOffice 1.1, GNOME 2.4, I think but I'm not sure - not using it. Mandrake tools have some bugs but nothing major. not a big improvment over 9.1, but it has newer software and thats what counts. If you're going to install it on your workstation, go ahead. if youre planning on a server - get 9.1. -- Oded ::..

Re: MDK 9.2
I use 9.2 for over a month. Overall, it feels more robust than 9.1. I no longer experience any freezes, crashes etc. There are no major new features, but the increased stability and maturity is a great bonus. If you have LG CD-ROM, make sure you read the errata linked from Mandrake's site and have the drive's fiemware upgraded before you try the install. Also, as soon as you upgrade make sure to update security fixes/bugs - there's quite a few of them. There's a problem with disappearing KDE menus after massive software updates. This happens on new installations and is easily cured by running update-menus. Other than that, I'm a happy camper. For other errata, you can check Mandrake's site errata page. You can get a review-link, installation guide and other tips in the following links: http://www.whatsup.org.il/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2269 http://www.whatsup.org.il/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=6530 --- Shlomo Solomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone on the list installed/upgraded to MDK > 9.2?

Re: MDK 9.2
There are some other problems: 1) sometimes if you update the kernel (to 2.4.22-21mdk for example) ext3 root partitions cannot be mounted 2) if you "press the magic button", and then reboot, it will ask you to run fsck, even if you have an ext3 partition. do not press "y", since it's done without flashing the journal. since rc2 was out (i had a clean install of 9.2rc2, and upgraded the packages to final, parts from cooker parts from original disk) i had to reformat my / because of it be carefull. 3) i am not a big gnome user, but i had my problems there. i chose locale "ES_sp" from from GDM, and most of gnome was still in english, very few parts were in spanish (hebrew is ok, don't worry). 4) ctrl+f1 from gnome does not open the system menu. 5) totem (default media player in mdk92) crashes on me too much. mplayer is found even in the d/l edition, and you can add to it the win32 codecs don't worry. 6) aspell does not work here, ispell works but it suxors... :-) i should try hspell. (not included in mdk9.2 by defualt, the binary from the official site shuld work quite well, as it did here in rc2). there are other small things to be fixed. but i if know mandrake as i think i do, i doubt they will be fixed. :( Tzafrir, no it's the SAME thing I got last month. the funniest thing is that they freezed cooker for 2-3 week for "bug hunting". nothing was committed to cooker in those weeks, and 1.5 week after 9.2 was released to club members, they put a 150MB update. Nice work :-0 hopefully a new one will come soon (for 9.1 i think there was only one update, so i tend to be pessimistic). ביום ראשון, 16 בנובמבר 2003, 21:22, נכתב על ידי Dovix: > other tips in the following links: > > http://www.whatsup.org.il/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid >=2269 > http://www.whatsup.org.il/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=6530 -- diego, Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Ehad 9.2b is available for Download. It includes the patched kernel released by Mandrake shortly after the incident and prior to their decision not to release new iso's. The kernel update applies to the installation kernels as well. You can get more info about Mandrake's patch here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker&m=106745003132624&w=2 Nothetheless, I still recommend to upgrade the drive's firmware just in case. You can download Ehad from ehad.berlios.de. Make sure you read the release notes as it contains some important info. It is available both in Hebrew and English from the main page and the download page. For those that do not know what Ehad is about, here's the official description: 'Ehad' is an Israeli project offering a repackaging of standard Mandrake Linux binary packages, in order to provide a single installation CD for Mandrake users in Israel. 'Ehad' intends to provide a useful assortment of applications in a single CD and offers full compatibilty with this popular distro. 'Ehad' users can enjoy all the graphical installation and configuration tools provided by Mandrake, as well as the huge software repositories (including the automatic installation capabilities). __ Do you Yahoo!?

Hebrew and MDK 9.2
Hi All, I Have downloaded the ISOs of MDK 9.2 shortly after it became available. I installed the system and all seemed fine. I have noticed the Hebrew support files are missing. For instance, the Hebrew files for Open Office 1.1.0RC4, The KOffice Hebrew files and more. All Esperanto files are there... Is it supposed to be like that, or is I got the short end of the stick by mistake? If you could tell me where to find the Open Office Hebrew support files for MDK 9.2, I'll appreciate it.

Re: are MDK 9.2 update mirrors up to date?
Here's an update on my question of 2 weeks ago. Since I still don't see any RPMs being updated on my system, I decided to try a different (out of country) mirror. I chose one at random from the list Mandrake Update supplies and I found 49 packages (a total of 219 Mb) that needed updating. As I write this, Mandrake Update is working. Even with an ADSL connection, it's a bit slow, but at least it's getting the job done. So, in answer to my own question, the local MDK 9.2 mirrors are not up to date.

Just for your information, the release cycle (+updates) of mdk92 is over. this means no more updates for you mister :) about the mirrors, i will try and fix it this week hopefully (even if it makes me login into iglu and wget them by hand).

MDK 9.2 reached end-of-life? I don't think so. There are still updates for 9.1. Security updates still come in until the end-of-life. And in MandrakeSecure, they have not announced any end-of-life since 8.2. And by the way, I asked the same question about the Mandrake update mirrors a couple of weeks ago, no reply. I switched to an official Mandrake mirror (in Europe) and I no longer trust the IGLU mirror.

Sorry - I should have included the following explanation: With the release of Mandrake Linux 9.1, a lifetime cycle that customers can easily anticipate was put into place. MandrakeSoft will provide 12 months of "desktop" updates for distributions, and 18 months of "base" updates for distributions. This means that applications such as window managers, desktop environments, browsers, etc. will have a 12 month package update life, while applications such as the kernel, Apache, and other "base" components will have a package update life of 18 months. At certain times, MandrakeSoft may choose to extend updates support for certain versions of Mandrake Linux. -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail 1.5.3 (KDE 3.1.3) on LINUX Mandrake 9.2 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It could be that the reasons for that are beyond Hamakor control.

Maybe it's something to do with how the MDK mirror is setup? (e.g. maybe pull the mirror from a better source, or use a different protocol?).
