Any idea as to why it isn't out, or have a link for the torrent file. Thanks.

Choose one of the isos that contain "one" in their name. Either Gnome or KDE.Edited 2008-07-30 20:23 UTC Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (satan666) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?325122 http://www.osnews.com/thread?325122 Please leave Firefox 2 also available for Mandriva 2009.

If there are some extensions that do not yet work with FF3, now is the time to bug the developers of said extensions to make sure that any issues wit their extensions are fixed.

Firefox 2.x is supported until December IIRC.

Why? Because Firefox 3 "kills" Firefox 2 profiles, as it has been said many times.

I haven't tried any Mandriva's since Mandrake 8, I think.

One problem I have and that's with all KDE distros, is to trim some of the fat out of KDE. Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:30:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (ghostdawg) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?325191 http://www.osnews.com/thread?325191 You could always install the GNOME One CD instead.
(For 2008.1 Spring there's even an XFce release if I'm not mistaken.)

Don't use the Live CD installer, use the the DVD (or 3 CD set) installer. That will give you the option to custom install. You can install only the core of Mandriva and add later the desktop environment with this command: "urpmi task-kde4-minimal". You can add other stuff with urpmi as you desire. Mandriva + KDE can be as lean or as fat as you want it to be.
