please remove this link for respect the work of mandrake & perhaps help mandrake to close financial prob.
MAndrake give for the momenbt access to iso only to registred/beta  user. And share the iso only when we could find mandrake in store

PLEASE RESPECT THIS ENTREPRISE IN DIFFICULTY

Are they anymore sites that have this available? Currently your FTP limit is set to three which is understandable due to the popularity. If anyone has these downloaded I have some serious bandwidth that I can divvy out for free. I just really want to get my hand on this OS.

Thanks,

Matt

Normally I would agree with the poster above but keep the link up for now.  I payed for Mandrakeclub membership and almost a week later have not been able to log on to MandrakeClub website to get the iso.  Customer service has also ignored me.  Mandrake linux rules but Mandrake customer service is terrible.  I plan on putting iso on Kazaa when I finally get it.  Linux will not be subverted by a Microsoft wannabe French company.

But that doesn't change the fact that we WANT Mandrake to continue existing because of the good distro they create. It's not nice for them to ignore anyone, still i'm sure that they have alot of problems and a CS that isn't so numerous as they would like it to be...

I still struggle to understand this line from mandrakesoft.com

"Free Software can only remain healthy with your financial support, so please join the Mandrake Users Club today."

Whilst i don't have a problem for them wanting people to pay for their hard work - nor do i have a problem with them giving away their software for free - that sentence just doesnt make sense!

How can free software be free if you are giving them financial support?

Mandrake is a great distribution - one of the easiest for newbies but still powerful enough for the experienced veteran - but it isn't the only distribution out there.

Slackware may not be anywhere near as easy to use, but it is faster and generally more stable and secure (providing you know what you are doing) and i don't seem them asking you to pay for free software.

not-to-mention that this isn't the only site offering the iso's for download. Mandrake's own website lists a million and a half different mirror sites where it can be downloaded - none of those sites ask for a donation for mandrakesoft.

Bullocks, pal, I have used both Slackware and Mandrake. Both are just as secure as you want and make them to be. Also, for the most recent boards, and I'm talking those with FSB 800MHz and Intel Pentiums of 3 GHz and faster, Mandrake is way faster than Slackware.

I used a resuming ftp client (WS FTP LE) to get the isos from the Portuguese server.  The first cd was interrupted twice, but resumed and downloaded correctly.

The autorun does say 9.1, but it is 9.2.

Post by: Will Smith on October 31, 2003, 01:15:48 PM
Why don't you guys just wait another few days, when Mandrake will officially release its ISOs onto all the normal mirrors.  I run an official mirror for Mandrake, I am also looking forward to the day when it will sync with Mandrake's 9.2.  But until that day, I am not going to shoot Mandrake in the foot by making my own ISO.

Mandrake almost went bust last year, because it wasn't getting enough revenue.  If people continue to grab its stuff for free, it *will* go bust.  All they are trying to do is say 'if you want it first, you have to pay, if you are willing to wait a month, it's free'.  That seems reasonable to me.

To the person who said 'how can they ask people to pay for free software' : you really need to read up what 'free software' means.  It doesn't mean zero cost software.  It means software with freedom.

Post by: ap78 on October 31, 2003, 05:50:42 PM
I don't see any difference in releasing Mandrake using the traditional tree or the iso images. Using tools like wget it's pretty easy for everyone to obtain the whole tree structure and then create CDs.

I don't think not releasing iso images together with the release tree will bring Mandrake more subscriptions to Mandrake Club or will make more people buy packages. Who want to support Mandrake just do it, images or not.

Moreover, if people don't buy packages and don't subscribe, reasons are elsewhere:

- Lacking support (see some post above).

- Availability of other zero cost Linux distros which have comparable features to Mandrake.

- A good part of the software reserved to clubers, is freely downloadable from the Internet.

I agree with you Will Smith, free software is freedom, but also accessibility.
Where is the freedom if you have to pay to have access to software?
Having source codes is just for very expert users. For common users, free software just means without cost.

To create CD images, you just have to use the mkcd tool which is located in the root directory of raw tree of MDK 9.2.

If you saved downloaded files under Windows, in a FAT partition, you should be able to create your iso images booting from a Linux Live CD (like Knoppix) always running mkcd. Then you can burn CD from Windows.

If you're in a hurry to have Mandrake 9.2, just choose a mirror close to you, open a shell window and type

wget -r -l=100 ftp://...

The download time is just the same for the three iso images.

OK, enough is enough.

Witholding Mandrake 9.2 for clubmembers walks to the edge with the GPL.  Selling 9.2 to the public without releasing the free version crosses the line.

Mandrake, at this point I am praying for your demise.  Then perhaps some REPUTABLE company that understands the spirit of Open Source and contract law will pick up on the work and handle it properly.

If someone has copies of the 9.2 final, please post them.  I will do my best to download them and find a fast mirror for everyone else.

Moreover, it can be run using the MakeCD script.

Perhaps Mandrake is now only for developers and those willing to purchase it?

This is a very bad precident and poor business.

I don't think it is too much to expect Mandrake to keep there word.  

This certainly is not endearing Mandrake to anyone.

There is no reason not to release the ftp version to the public.  They are selling the release at this point for christsakes.

Mandrake probably postponed the release because of the LG-CDROM issue - 9.2 could fry these drives because of some weird commands. Take a look at pclinuxonline (http://\"http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7918\").

I think they need some time to correct the error.

this is the newbie from a previous post asking about the raw tree.. I got the knoppix and booted to it, but since I am almost a complete newbie to linux it is pretty much impossible to get the mkcd going. I could only write to my freshly formatted fat drive after unmounting and then mounting again. Then permission this and that. So I said forget it, I'll just use version 9.1 wich is already in iso format, wich was easy to find. I couldn't understand though why I couldn't find that release on mandrakes website. Anyway, I'm just trying different linux versions seeing wich one I like the best and so far redhat was way easy. Plus their site was easy. I'll be using linux to run NAT, Firewall, port forwarding to a windows server & prolly mail too. Maybe RAS as well. I know I'll be in for a long haul and I'm normally a windows guy, but I need to learn the damn linux and different variations so I don't get outdated... Anyway, thanks for the previous help ap78, I may not use it now, but in the future I'm sure I'll understand it.

It's really ridiculous now: three days later the annouced date for the public realease, Mandrake is not giving anything: no information, no iso images. /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />

I downloaded the raw tree, made the four CDs of the cooker, and tried to install it on my notebook (DELL Inspiron 8000) where Mandrake 9.1 runs perfectly.
I met the following problems:

1) The setup program froze at the end of the third CD, when he asked me to insert the fourth. I rebooted and restarted installation from scratch and this time it didn't crashed. Maybe I waited too much and system tried to go into standby, but I'm not sure. This never happend neither under Mandrake 9.1 setup, nor under RedHat and Slackware setups.

2) The ACPI support doesn't work properly. I can't switch my notebook off without pressing the button. Halting the system make Linux save data, switch the LCD panel off and wait with the power light still on.
On Mandrake 9.1 I could switch it off from KDE, just enabling ACPI from Mandrake Control Center. Now this doesn't work. /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />

3) I don't agree with the choice of Mandrake to remove shortcuts to Konsole, Control center and Documentation  from the panel, leaving only K, Desktop and Home. But this is a little problem, which can be easily solved.

So, I can say my first experience with Mandrake 9.2 was not that good. I like the LILO splash screen, and the revised Galaxy theme, which has a better quality look. But If I have to spend hours to obtain what I already had with Mandrake 9.1, I'm not going to upgrade.

Anyway, I'll wait for the official release of iso images, even if I don't think there will be many differences.
I've always considered Mandrake a good distro, but now I'm looking elsewhere for a really free distro, maybe with less look innovations, but with a best care in hardware support and compatibility, in the case the the iso release will still have the same problems.

First of all, you should be better to wait for the public release because Mandrake is going to add new patches. What you find in a magazine, is just a copy og what has been released to Clubers. If you want to support Mandrake, it's not a good idea to buy them anyway.

Also, FREE SOFTWARE for me is FREE, without cost. Many commercial distros are fully comparable to free ones (Debian, Slackware, ...). Commercial distros just added some configuration tools, a graphical installer, sometimes an updater and some facility.
No real and deep changes, so  the OS is based on the work of the Linux community, not on softwarehouses efforts.

Its great, all these people arguing about the fact mandrake have not released 9.2 iso's to the public yet.
If your all that bothered about it, why dont you compile and package your own distro?
Ah thought so, you cant! So instead of bitching why dont you wait untill they decide to release it.

On another note, they have not included anything that isnt already available seperatly. Want better wireless support? Download it. Want AMD64 support? Download it.
Read how to compile your own kernel, instead of waiting for microsoft to release a linux distro!

 And just what do you think happens when tons of people try connecting every 20 seconds?  Granted, there's people even worse than that.  You should set your client to try once every minute or so.

Plus...I'm sure it tried connecting more often than every 20 seconds...you have to figure in the time it took to get a response, try to login, get told to wait...so it was probably more like every 10 seconds.

it says 9.1 at start, but it installs 9.2.
i have no idea why, but its only a concern for 2 minutes until u realise its definately 9.2.

For those who want links, use google and if your smart u will find what your after before long.

One catch is to install nvidia drivers u may need the source for the kernel, which is NOT on th 3 installation cd's.

In the /dosutils/lang directory you'll find autorun.conf
which has the typo causing the autorun.exe to read 9.1 in the title bar. change it before burning your cd if you want it to read 9.2

I have downloaded the entire 2.4 GB tree from a mandrake mirror and prepared a boot cd with mkisofs without the RPMS folder.

What i need to know is which files are on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd CD's.

I'd appreciate if somebody who downloaded the iso's could mount the cd somewhere and post the output of ls -lR, so i can make the CD's with the files i have legitimately download from mandrake without being a member.

For your interest, I've used slackware, redhat, debian, suse, and still prefer to roll my own system usually based on slackware. I want to see Mandrake, but I generally don't like these distros and their "we do it all for you behind the scenes" config apps. so i won't be paying for it, it's unlikely i'll be using it much, unless i'm surprised. that's just personal preference, My impression from comments is that Mandrake is great for people who want such a system.

looking at the complaints at people not being able to download the mandrake iso's right away this was not the best method at witch mandrake has conducted them selves but it did end up with a neer bug fre distro when the iso's were released if you could not wait and downloaded the i586 tree data and have problems its your own fault for not reading at mandrakesoft they said the tree data was buggy and to wait for the iso's to be relased

to bad for the people taht cant read and are impatent and makes out its mandrakes fault for not pleasing these people for a free operating system

i can only say one thing to these people grow up mandrake is not out to please anyone with the free version its an exmaple of the coperate eddition if you want a good os i would say get away from the free crap and buy something you like !!

I've tried installing Mandrake 9.1 on an older laptop. It's an IDP. It will only install in a minimal graphical environment. I have 80 megs of Ram. Also, it takes about 6 to 7 hrs to install. It also loads the wrong lcd screen. In windows it was setup as a generic lcd 800/600. I tried to load the correct monitor config at the end of the setup. It gave me a list of tons of monitors but nothing for a generic lcd. If I use the one it gives me on test the screen is half on and half off. At this point the computer freezes. I restart the computer and it takes me to the login screen. No graphics At all. I don't really know enough about linux commands to get to any kind of desktop from the login. Any help would be appreciated.

I think it's nice that you posted the links to download the 9.2 from (the original post to this thread is what I'm referring to), BUT, it would be nice to see for ourselves that these cds you've posted are authentic. The link to the 92md5sums doesn't work for me (in ftp program WSFTP Pro is a .txt file only, not .asc), and comes up "page not found" (would very much like to see this corrected here). I'd also like to see the link to the key authenticity of these cds posted.

I've got HUGE problems. The 10.0 cds aren't working for me whatever way I go, and I can't find any links to 9.2 anywhere any more, as of day before yesterday. I'd a lot rather install 9.2 than 10.0 anyway; however, I want to believe that these isos you've posted here are authentic, and will work, before I install them. The only way to know for sure, is for you to post the link to the 92md5sums.asc and .mnf.

I'm on Windows '98/XP Pro dual-boot for now, but am going to dump it. I'm extremely tired of the M$ crapola.

If Mandrake would post the 9.2 along with the 10.0, I'd be okay, but right now am at a loss as to what to do. This is the only place 9.2 isos remain, seems like (every single server on 9.2 servers come up "page not found" for me now; in ftp, 9.2 just plain "isn't there" anywhere), so please keep the links; however, please verify them, so we know they're safe to use. I think Mandrake is being just like Windows in the rush to be "out with the old, in with the new". This, I don't like. So, these links to 9.2 cds do need to remain, as Mandrake themselves no longer post them --

Never paid for an operating system,  and never will. If mandrake goes under, somebody else will carry the torch whoop tee doo.

[quote name=\'Guest\' date=\'Oct 16 2003, 02:34 PM\']please remove this link for respect the work of mandrake & perhaps help mandrake to close financial prob.
MAndrake give for the momenbt access to iso only to registred/beta  user. And share the iso only when we could find mandrake in store

PLEASE RESPECT THIS ENTREPRISE IN DIFFICULTY[/quote]
 Linux was always meant to be freeware and mandrake is no exception. The link should stay. Mandrake should not be in financial trouble due to the fact they never should of opened trying to make money from linux.
We all supply to linux and support each and every bit of knowledge. Not one set of persons or companys should try to profit from linux.
So keep all links fully functional. /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />
