Hi, guys - quick note on the release of 2009 beta 2. New installer,
Firefox 3, OpenOffice 3, lots of goodies. Here's the official announce:
Mandriva is proud to announce the release of Mandriva Linux 2009
Beta 2 'okapi'. This beta includes a completely new installer for
the Free (and, in the final release, Powerpack) edition, and is testing
the Fedora system-config-printer printer configuration tool as an
alternative to printerdrake. The new beta also brings Firefox 3,
OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta, and support for the ethernet adapter used in
many new Eee (and other netbook) models.
As always, Mandriva reminds you
not to use pre-releases in any critical situation; install them only on
a test system or partition, or in a virtual machine. Additionally, we
strongly discourage using this pre-release to upgrade from any earlier
release of Mandriva Linux, as the transition process from KDE 3 to KDE 4
is not yet fully implemented and you are likely to end up with an
unusable system. Please make sure to read the Errata and Release Notes, and
file any bugs not covered in those pages on Bugzilla.
