"The developers of Mandriva Linux have quietly released what appears to be a public beta of Mandriva Linux 2006.1. This release comes with many updated packages, including X.Org 6.9 final, KDE 3.5.0, GNOME 2.12, and OpenOffice.org 2.0.0. The kernel remains at 2.6.12, although it has been selectively patched with various fixes from kernel 2.6.13 and later. Other improvements affecting networking, printing and X.Org configuration have also been implemented. See the changelog for a detailed list of changes."

Fretinator, I sympathize.
I momentarily considered setting up the cooker repository and upgrading X.org and KDE at the very least, but I'm running Baghira with a bunch of stuff I got from www.osx-e.com and I know that unless I force, URPMI will ask me to remove all KDE dependencies before I can successfully upgrade. And I like my current desktop too much to risk borking it over a CVS snapshot.
This is not a reflection of the quality of Cooker mind you. I was running 2005LE with a lot of cooker rpms just before I upgraded to 2006 official. But like Fretinator, I want to get off the upgrade train for awhile, and with the change in release schedules for Mandriva, it's quite acceptable.
Cheers.

fretinator: for future reference, you could have simply installed the -i686-up-4GB kernel flavour, no need to recompile.
Duh, that makes sense, Thanks!
BTW, it was the Club download (with the Christmas theme) I was evaluating. But since everything is working so well, I hate to touch it. It was such a pain to get the 3D working. It takes a few hours of downloading and compiling the source to Mesa, X and Dri. I think it is not a sign that I'm getting more mature, just older!
