Mandriva

My wireless does not install on RC2 (but was OK on 2007.1):
[quote:af09b50eee]Some packages (ipw3945d) are required but aren't available. These packages can be found in Mandriva Club or in Mandriva commercial releases.

The following component is missing: /usr/sbin/ipw3945d

The required files can also be installed from this URL:
http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/[/quote:af09b50eee]
Is this normal and a question pending the availability of the full infrastructure for 2008.0 (club software?) or is there simply something that should be added to the distribution?. An (even confusing) lot of 3945 related modules (kernel, dkms package) do exist in RC2, but they do not help without that driver (and the sourceforge link does not really help).

Not exactly a review, but still a good story, that might hopefully let other KDE developers or enthusiasts try Mandriva

Just checked my Email, and seen an Email from Mandriva entitled "Mandriva 2008.0 - Early seeding program warm up" in it it says,

[quote:037a3932d8]The early seeding program for Mandriva 2008.0 will start tomorrow.[/quote:037a3932d8]

The Email apparently arrived 6 hours ago, soooo, it's already Tomorrow, lets have it

Can't wait, love it, warm up your torrent clients, check the oil and water, and tyres, it's going to be a long journey. Bring it on

Hey i posted this before but thought i would try again. When I hook a optima projector to my laptop running spring 2007.1 with a vga cable i can see the system booting with the image on the wall as soon as kde kicks in the image is gone but back on my laptop screen. Using propietery drivers but cant figure this out....any ideas?

I was wondering what all changed in 2008? Is there still Metisse?

I was wondering, how many people use hwat browsers?

EX. Firefox, Opera, etc.

Hi,

I have an old laptop (Thinkpad 770) and want it to use as SVN server.

With 160 MB RAM I decided I do not need a graphical environment.

Can someone explain how to do this?

I tried to use the standard installation process but opted to not install any graphical environment - but I did not really know what packages to install or not install so the result was kinda weird, Wireless didn't work and of course I had no SVN server ^^

Any hints?

Regards
Philip

I installed 2008 RC1, then kept it up to date.
The problem now is boot time, it takes 10 + minutes to check three hard drives, then once I'm in the system a user can't mount them until their mounted and umounted by root.

In a 2007.1 install boot time is 1:40 minutes and the drives can be mounted by a user.

I'll install 2008 fresh when it comes out to see if the problem persists.

I had the impression (and no i cant remember where I got it, THAT would make things to easy) that 2008 was going to use a different toolset, other than mklivecd to create their "live disc" this time.

now since i CRS and have these occasiona; reality jumps I could be way off, but anyone who might have some insight would be appreciated.

thanks

Today I found that I couldn't download software from my configured distribution source. I thought it was probably the mirror, so deleted that source and tried to configure a new one.

Tried several mirrors, with the same error on all.

So, is this a problem with the mirrors, or is the problem at my end?
If it's my end, what's broken - and more importantly - how do I fix it?
