Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 9.1 Should be Delayed

[Jason Greenwood]

It's not just the CD installer that gets tested. URPMI does not test an installer AT ALL. Therefore, having people test ISO installs/Network installs is crucial to the beta process.

PS, I DON'T use urpmi/software manager on my cooker box at home cause I'm on dialup and URPMI doesn't resume if the connection is broken on remote sources AFAIK. As such, it is easier for me to download via FTP and then either freshen or urpmi from the updated local source. On my work box (9.0) I use mandrake update just fine.

It just seems to me that people are really stuck in the idea of ISO's
because they've never known otherwise.
      

This is so true.

    

Personally, I use urpmi and update each day. It is good to have some
people testing the ISO's though. That makes sure the cd installer gets
tested as well.
