Mandriva Linux 2009 RC2 released
Mandriva Linux 2009.1 RC2 has been announced. This is the
final release candidate for Mandriva Linux 2009, code named sophie. "As
of RC 2, we now encourage the testing of 2009 as an upgrade from 2008
Spring or 2008. Of course, we emphasize testing: as always, you should not
use a pre-release on important production systems. However, there is one
important thing to be aware of. The physical media - the Free or (for final
release) Powerpack DVDs and CDs - will not include KDE 3, due to
insufficient space. This means that it is not recommended to upgrade from
an earlier stable release to 2009 using the Free or Powerpack CDs or DVDs
if you use KDE 3, as it will not correctly handle your KDE configuration.
The recommended ways to upgrade from a previous stable release to 2009 if
you use KDE 3 are either to upgrade using urpmi or by doing a network
installation (which will make KDE 3 available to the installer). Either of
these methods will result in a 2009 installation with KDE 3 still
available, and your KDE 3 configuration preserved."
