Mandrake 10 beta 2

So I see that Mandrake 10 beta 2 is now available. Does anyone know what version kernel it uses. I'm trying to find an easy way to get to version 2.6 for the wireless support .

www.distrowatch.com has Mdk 10 Beta 2 listed under distros that provide 2.6.x series kernels . Not sure if 2.6.x offers significantly better support for wireless components, but most of the linux wireless drivers should be supported by 2.4.x .

2.6.2-0-rc3.1mdk On the cooker, 2.6.2-1mdk (seems to work well). It sure can handle a lot more jobs with less effort.

As this is a Mandrake specific question, I am moving it to the Mandrake forum

That's the kernel version: 2.6

the trailing numbers denote the revision 'rc' is a release candidate, ready for final rock-solid testing to be sure no more bugs are in it. Go to http://www.kernel.org before you install anything. That way, you'll find out what you're up against. If you want good support, try a 2.4 kernel (perhaps 2.4.22 or newer). The 2.6 still has a few issues and MDK10 and Connectiva are the only ones I know of that have 2.6 in them. Both are betas

Mdk 10.0 can't work properly for my notebook built-in sound card, there is no sound.
I uninstall it and will replace it with fedora.

Probably. Post the output of lspci -v and lsmod and we'll see what's not working.
