Re: Where are CD 2 and 3 ?

Hi,

Why is there only one ISO file ?

Because the x86-64 version is distributed as follows:

- Download Edition: 1 CD, seen as an Essentials CD (largest packages
there) + rest through public FTP servers

- Club Edition: 4 CDs, for Basic+ members

- DVD Edition: 1 DVD, for Silver+ members, Mandriva Store, and
High-Speed dedicated FTP download IIRC.

You also have the alternative to build your own CDs or DVDs: the total
binary archive is 5.4 GB.

I'm glad to finally see the release finished. Great job Gwenole!

Now that the release is out, I have a couple of questions:

- Will the final release update the beta version, or do I need to
re-install?

- Is there a complete package listing somewhere?

- Where is the binary archive?

- I'm using a notebook computer with only wireless ethernet, will
the install CD configure that correctly so that I can do the entire
install, or alternately, can I exit the install after the first CD to
configure my wireless and then continue the install?

Thanks again for a job well done.

Oh, wait...another question as an afterthought...

I was looking at SUSE 9.3 professional and Ubuntu's Hoary Hedgehog
releases. How does Mandriva compare with these for completeness of
packages available?
