Mandrake 10.2, otherwise known as Mandriva 2005 Limited Edition, has been released for club members! I am going to download it this week and give it a try. If any of you have it, please post your reviews/thoughts/comments about it.

Does anyone know if the free RPM version is available on public FTP servers yet? Will there even be such a version again?

Yeah,

The community newsletter #102 said:
"A few weeks later, a freely available Download Edition will be available."

Please tell me. I have Mandrake 10.1 Off and what benefits would I have in upgrading to 10.2 and KDE 3.4? Really, I don't know... would it be faster. Is there more features that I really have to have?

Not trying to be passamistic, just don't see any reason to upgrade... Also you can certainly (with a little creative searching) get all the Club upgrades for free.

The free down loadable iso version is not available but the complete non iso version is available for download. I'm downloading it my self right now, then I'll make myself a bootable dvd. That is better than the premade cd-iso's in my opinion.

Yeah, the last two Mandrake releases have not been bleeding edge. I probaby will install it just to check it out, but the lack of current packages is enough to put me of using it as my main distro.

Thac has them up already on his site. I am installing them now. Wish me luck my last few updgrades haven't been fun to say the least.

Ok well maybe he doesn't he jus has the KDE and UTIL rpms for 10.2. Nevermeind.

That's the one I'm looking for. I installed the last two releases from hard disk, who needs ISO CDs?

Could you point me to a mirror that has it? The ones from this link don't seem to have it yet, at least those that I tried.

how do you install from the files that are dl? Do you make a bootable DVD then add the files/folders as data?
