AFAIK, it has!

Ron, next time could you dispense with the incredulity and read the
mailing list or the Wiki (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/wiki), quoting from it:

"Also, note that the beta1 installation uses the same kernel as 9.1 did,
so if you had problems installing 9.1, you may want to wait for beta2
(which will use an updated kernel)."

So, please, don't assume incompetence, when you might rather assume time
pressure instead ...

Regards,
Buchan
