Mandrake Linux

The Mandrake Linux 9.0 Release Candidate 1 is out. Beta testers, start bashing.

Mandrake has issued an update advisory for cdrecord. "In some situations, noteably with xcdroast, the mkisofs utility creates pseudo-empty filesystems. The filesystem is the proper size, but the contents of the filesystem are not available. This update corrects this problem."
