The version-number was bumped to 9.0 because they moved to new GCC (2.9something to 3.2)

That server has RC3, not the release.

Yeah, that was the rc3 you got. They do have 9.0 final now in ~/Mandrake/Mandrake/current/

 

[Maverick]

did they reduce the amount of useless crap that was in mandrake 8 and 8.1? The thing took longer to load than Windows! Redhat was far more stable IMHO.

 

[Paulson]

finally, I'm downloading from a decent ftp

I'll put it up on my server when I finally get it downloaded...

Um, you can choose to not load all of that stuff. You could run just a command line if you wanted.

 

[GT1999]

If you need a fast download, here you go

You're welcome

 

[Paulson]

I already found my 2 ftp servers...

 

[thawolfman]

How does that linux thing work?

 

[SUOrangeman]

For those of you concerned about burning the ISOs to CDs, I want to let you know that you can install directly from the ISOs without having to burn them. You will at least have to make a boot floppy in order to get going. You will also need to know how mount the ISO as a loopback device during the install (mount -o loop /some/tmp/mount/with/Mandrake1.iso /some/other/tmp/mnt ... I think). I've successfully down this with a previous version of Mandrake as well as with the Debian 3.0 DVD ISO image.

I can post more info, but I am away from my main computer.

You can also extract them using WinISO and then do a HD install. I haven't tried this, but it should work.

 

[Paulson]

Downloading still... backing up and getting ready to update...

 

[silverpig]

I wonder if I can mount the iso from my hard drive, and then update my rc3 install from windows...

Thanks for the mirror lists, guys.

Reason #10 to love .edu connections.

Odd. When I try to connect to that mirror, I get a message that access from my domain is restricted. Ah well, I'm at 98% done anyways.

 

[bizmark]

holy shiz I've d/l'd 55% of the iso in the time it's taken me to take this pic, crop it, upload it, and post this message


Thanks for the list of mirrors Geekish Thoughts!

w00t, I just got all 3 install ISOs in about 15 minutes

 

[Martin]

w00t got it installed, posting from Mozilla....

but...hmm...I am in KDE right now, but I don't like it much for some reason...

At school we have RH7.3 with Gnome 1.4 (i think) and I like it more than KDE for some reason...

perhaps after some modifying I'll get KDE to feel right...
