Check Mandriva 2009.0 Review http://www.techenclave.com/reviews-a...ed-121553.html

Mandriva 2009 sucked big time for me. I downloaded it as soon as it got released. It is a good OS , I loved the sound driver included but it listed rp-pppoe package as unrequired so i was not able to setup pppoe. I even tried to install everything and not use the remove unrequired packages option (which you will see when you install using the live CD) , but still no luck. I searched the internet and found that it was a bug which had no solution.
So, I uninstalled Mandriva. I could have downloaded that package from somewhere else and got the distro working but after using ubuntu for a couple of years, I am so in love with ubuntu that I dont WANT to use any other distro. apt-get install or aptitude install is just too difficult to live without.
And besides, mandriva uses KDE4.1 which has a lot of bugs. I will wait till at least 4.2 before throwing away 3.5.

Hi
Have been having hell trying to compile offline ISOs using AptOnCD. The default package, aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu3_all.deb, is faulty, it crashes midway.

BUG: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptoncd/+bug/272509

SOLUTION: Download aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all.deb from here
http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-b...sg1070949.html

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multimedia packages for offline installs added, includes kernel fix. Only six packages extra for default system upgrade so I made a single ISO this time.

Will be starting a new thread for 8.10 shortly

Did a clean install and love it.

There was a minor problem though. I used to install all previous versions directly from hard-disk without wasting a CD as I have never ever needed the CD again after first install. But due to a bug mentioned in Release Notes Ubiquity fails to show the disks for partitioning if already mounted. So had to burn a CD.

will wait 4 digit cd\dvd `s .........

I unfortunately can't install Ubuntu for now. When i bought a new hard disk, i chose dynamic partition.(proprietary windows format).Hence,can't install on my HD

Any method to solve this problem w/o formatting the entire hd.

Better back up your data, destroy all partitions and make your disk basic.

Finally installed , no problem till now, I should check with Firewall settings. Also the XP bootloader has gone kaput where as vista works just fine. have to add entry into grub to make it bootable.

One perfect reason to upgrade to 8.10 is if you use your mobile for Internet access from PC. It detects, notifies and lets you configure your mobile connection without any need to face config files.

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Thats news for me. Need to check it out

[hellknight]

yeah.. it detects the mobile phones attached and even lists the providers of the country.. like it showed me Airtel, BSNL etc.. and i'm getting around 20kbps on my Dad's EDGE connection (BSNL) which only costs Rs.150.. and is unlimited..
