It looks like there is an RC3:
ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-iso/i586/

Have fun

What are you on about? Which files?

There wont be a RC3, "This is the last release before Mandrake Linux 9.1 final"

Please dont spam these forums.

Edit: Some RC3 files have just been uploaded... This is not Mandrake's official ftp server if I'm not mistaken...wtf?

Sorry, but there is : ( this was on PCLinux on line )

Mandrake 9.1 RC3 or final?
Linux JLP writes "I'm sure a lot of people wonder: "Where is Mandrake 9.1? Shouldn't it be out now?". Well it seem that we will have to wait a little more as there appears to be Release Candidate 3 getting uploaded to mirrors. For example take a look HERE. Maybe this is the true final and it is just named like that until the ISO images get well spread over server. Only Mandrake people know

"

Did you have a look on the link that I posted or not ?
Look again !

I can see it now, at that Czech Republic mirror, and it's on others too...the naming is different to rc2, notice the MandrakeLinux-9.1-rc3-CD1.i586.iso, if it makes any difference...

Hey Proud,
What about excuse me ? Acusing me of spamming the forum.

Proud · 03-24-2003, 02:23 PM

Hey man(?) sorry if I wrongly accused you, but I promise I couldnt find any rc3 files there earlier today... Time to doubt my own sanity?

Fair enough

Jeez... again.. 9.0 went to 3 or 4 Release Candidates, each saying "Final Release Candidate" since number 2.... So this RC3 may or may not be the last RC before the Final

.. I just tried Slack 9.0 and wasn't terribly impressed even though graphics & sound worked fine.. With the limited time I have for setting up a system, Mandrake 9.0 has spoiled me by giving me the Enterprise and SMP kernels in my Lilo menu as well as graphics, sound, CDR, network all nice and auto-detected with a TON of apps ready to run.

can someone tell me what special improvement with Mdk 9.1 ?
Before i made decision to shift to it!

OS news is reporting that they've had access to the full completed version of 9.1 for a week now (http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=3116). According to one Mandrake FTP mirror the ISO they're calling RC3 was uploaded yesterday so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that RC3 is the final version.

Bamboo is up!

Burke · 03-25-2003, 02:42 PM

So if we downloaded the "RC3" yesterday as it was posted, that is actually the final "Bamboo" release, right?

onurb · 03-25-2003, 02:43 PM

YES ! You lucky basterd

Proud · 03-25-2003, 02:44 PM

Yep, and you know it's good coz it's been double-posted at Slashdot!

futurist: a very noticable difference would be the new Galaxy theme for KDE and GNOME

OSNews 'review' isnt worth your time.
