I'm downloading the ISO image now. The webpage still refers
to creating an iso image from the devel dir (It referes to the old
oxygen tho). Maybe this could be removed and a little note put up
instead about the beta ISO's?. How does everyone do updates of their
installed beta's from the mirrors? rpm -Uvh would be great if it only
updated intalled packages instead of everything. Anyone got a handy script
or is their a new mandrake utility for this with the betas?
