-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Other than reading through the Mandrake website for known bugs, doing a google search, a search of Twiki, and running "MandrakeUpdate" periodically, I am not sure what else you could do to keep up with bugs and fixes.
I just received my 9.2 propack yesterday. Installed fine, screwed up KDE icons (though not menus). I installed it and used my 9.1 partitions without change, just formatting /usr and /. Fixing the KDE icon (and menu?) problem is a matter of doing an update immediately. You can also run "update-menus - -v" and try to recover/gain proper menus.

I am still successful in using the 9.1 ones I have only added a couple sites via easy urpmi (plf and contrib in replacment of cdrom 7 at this point). No problems for me. Try a few different mirrors/sources before giving up on it. Perhaps I just got lucky in my choices of these sources. > [Q] Does anybody know if the 9.2 is still too "crude" to count on the easy > urpmi repositories of source sites?

A new user installing it for the first time is not likely going to get a favorable impression based on the many initial problems. I have yet to fix my sound problems except for the short term, on a login-by-login basis. I too have ordered Suse 9.0 and will install it on my desktop. I have MDK 9.2 on my laptop. I haven't tried Suse for a few years so I am expecting both problems and pleasant suprises. I thought I'd give it a shot before Novell can have a chance to ruin a good thing with Commercial/Enterprise-over-focused nonsense. If not for the problems with 9.2 I wouldn't even have considered Suse. I'll let them play out on their respective systems and let performance, ease-of-configuration/administration, and bug numbers determine my future focus. If I can get sound working properly in 9.2, I THINK that will cover the last of my known problems. - -- "Our ship is in the hands of pilots who are steering directly under full sail for a rock.
