Hi all Although some things went wrong (more about that later), the upgrade to 9.2rc1 resulted in a system (laptop, P4 i845 ICH3 NVIDIA) that worked with the mandrake kernel, I could install the NVIDIA drivers without problems and both sound and graphics on the TV-OUT worked perfectly after configuration.
This may sound normal, but for this particular hardware [1] this is very good news indeed! The things that went different than perfect: - konsole was gone after upgrade, I assume this is because of the splitting of KDE rpms? Very critical to get this right before 9.2! - when I choose to "download security patches/updates" during install, I'm not prompted for a mirror, no updates appear and drakx goes on to congratulate me on the successful install. This is a problem since 9.1 betas, I'm at a loss why this major bug isn't fixed! - it would be nice to have a way to easily configure lilo during the new installation to boot all existing linux/windows OSs that are installed. (even when the other OS's partition isn't mounted on the new installation) - My other install (9.1)'s root partition (/etc/shadow was the worst) got messed up (but I don't know of this is in any way related to the install) Cheers Simon [1] http://margo.student.utwente.nl/simon/ongoing/jade8060.php
