2001-09-27 Thread Franki

yeah, I have been wondering if I should download it on the adsl connection,
or just want till the powerpack I preordered arrives..

anyone who has bought one before, how long did it take to arrive???

If its going to be longer then two weeks, I might just download it...


any ideas on a time frame??

I am in australia, but I guess any international country would have a
roughly similiar time frame..

Actually, Australia is one of the best places in the world to wait for mail.  
With all the Aussies travelling the globe, most country's post offices send 
mail to Australia right away otherwise it would back up!

No lie, a housemate of mine sent a letter from London to Paris in the same 
time it took a letter to go from London to Sydney (about 8 days...)!

Canada, on the other hand, you're lucky if the mail arrives at all!

It is my understanding that the box version should start appearing
in appox. a week.

It will be mid to late Oct. before the PowerPack is out.
If you have pre-ordered, or order the PowerPack through MandrakeSoft
you will be sent the download set as soon as they are burned.
This should br accomplished rather quickly since no box or manuals
are neeeded.

When installing the Powerpack you can run it as an Upgrade to the 8.1
installation or use the MandrakeUpdate option in the SoftwareMgr.


   Charles  (-:
 
 P.S. I pre-ordered the PPack but I want everything yesterday so I 
have already downloaded the ISOs and plan to install on at least 1
machine this afternoon.

 well .. whats up with it? any good? did they fix all the broken stuff?

- i use rc1 8.1 and see much improvement since 8.0 (really), so i think if 
you are using 8.0 its worth a download :)



 i want a review!!!

 also, why did they release 8.1 final so fast after 8.1rc1? and it had a lot
 of broken stuff!
