Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta Given the choice of enjoying the summer in beautiful southern California or working on the Mandrake Linux distribution, the twisted MandrakeSoft developers chose to stick around and present "Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1." As with any Beta, this one is probably loaded with nasty bugs which may cause serious problems on production systems. Betas are only suitable for installation on test systems -- you've been warned! A "feature freeze" will happen soon, so for anyone willing to put down their bottle of suntan lotion long enough to download & test the new Beta, you will enjoy: New desktops: KDE 3.0.2 and GNOME 2.0 with new icons on the KDE desktop new user images new wallpaper Tools: A new tool has been added to the 'drakxtools' family: The 'Drakbugreport' client is included with the current beta, and the server version will be ready for Beta 2. These tools allow users to easily report bugs for the entire drakxtools family. Many tools have been reworked (bugfixes, better ergonomics, added functionality, etc), such as: Diskdrake now supports SMB ACLs urpmi has been rewritten to perform much faster Harddrake now uses the same detection engine as DrakX and therefore supports many more hardware devices XFdrake has been rewritten to make configuring the X server a snap DrakXTV now supports a larger selection of TV cards for you couch potatoes Draknet has been renamed 'Drakconnect' Install: The new Beta uses ISOlinux instead of Syslinux (a new way to boot from CD-ROM). Please test as many different types of CDROM drives as possible and report any problems. Packages: Of course you will find the latest & greatest versions of the main packages, including: kernel 2.4.19 RC1 XFree86 4.2, which supports many video cards previously only supported in 3.3.6 glibc 2.2.5 Apache 1.3.26 Evolution 1.08 KDE 3.0.2 GNOME 2.0 Galeon 1.2.5 Mozilla 1.0.0 GCC 3.1.1 and much more (...) Known issues with Beta 1: The developers caught up on their sleep last weekend, therefore the following problems weren't corrected before the Beta was released into the wild: * CDROM access as root does not work properly with supermount Reason: devfsd does not create the /dev/hdX link as user pam access to /dev/ide/*/*/*/*/cd to set user ownership makes devfsd create the link. * Java support is broken. Reason: The currently available Java is not compiled with GCC 3.1 and therefore does not work with our packages. * DRI does not work properly with i810 and X doesn't respawn correctly. To fix this, do not activate 3D acceleration with i810 based systems. Reason: The kernel module for i810 suffers some problems. * CD switching during the installation causes some problems. When a new CD is requested, clicking the "cancel" button may lead the installation process into an infinite loop.
