Discussion of this may be found at alt.os.linux.mandriva.=20
Basically, this a relabeling of 2010.1 to 2010.2 and creation of=20
new iso media for installation that will be 2010.1 plus all=20
updates, plus some new cosmetics.

The transition is not yet complete, with plf and easyurpmi.org
the major lagging items.  If you install the release update,
2010.1 will be changed to 2010.2 in /etc/product.id and=20
/etc/release.  All mirrors that have been updated with new=20
symlinks will handle the new product.id.  As yet, if you use the=20
plf repositories, you will need to edit /etc/release back to=20
2010.1.  Eventually, that too will need to be 2010.2 I am sure.

Cheers!
