 Last night the 9.2 ISO's appeared on the master mirrors, so they should
 start showing up on the mirrors around the world...

But it's not clear if these are the updated ISOs that overcome the LG bug.
I've checked a mirror and the 9.2 ISOs come with a Readme LG text file 
suggesting to upgrade the drives' firmware anyway...

They are the same ISO's as the Club ones, and  the same 10mdk kernels
used for install, and as installable kernels as on every shipped cd/dvd...

Since LG has posted updated firmwares on their homepages, users are
encouraged to check if their cdrom/dvdrom needs an update and if so..

they have to update them _before_ installing MDK 9.2...

and since this is a serious bug from LG:s side,  users should upgrade
their f/w ASAP anyway...

   Comparing md5sums, they are the same torrent iso's formerly 
available to Club members. IOW's they are _not_ LG friendly.

   I d/l'd '9.2-download.md5sums.asc' from the /iso mirror and 
they match my Club torrent iso's,

 My bad. Sorry about sending you on a wild goose chase. I made the mistake
of
 not realizing when Mandrake says, Mandrake 9.2 is now available for
 download, they really mean that Mandrake 9.2 is available for download to
 Club members only. MOF, it wasn't even obvious to me when I followed the
 download link. Somebody ought to write a browser plug-in to detect
 marketspeak (Q. How do you know if a salesman is lying? A. His lips are
 moving.)


Actually MDK 9.2 has been available on the public ftp servers since
2003-10-13,
