The LINUX FORMAT magazine carried a very prominent warning about LG on their website following the publication of their issue with 9.2 as a cover disc.
And when was the last time you checked a magazine website before installing a package included on a CD or DVD? Most people won't go to the website until after they experience the problem. This is not going to save more than a handful of those who could be affected by this problem.
For those who think that 9.2 was in a fit state to be released and that those who have criticised were over-reacting - have a look at Linux Format's Help forum. It is being swamped with installation support requests for 9.2. It is _very_ bad news for linux (and Mandrake) that the latest release of the distro that has the best reputation for being user-friendly is going to leave so many people stranded or even damaged at install time. We are already seeing sweeping generalisations along the lines of "linux isn't ready for primetime", because people assume Mandrake = linux. This sort of damage to reputations could take years to undo.
