Is Mandriva for free?
I have burnt the Mandriva One (live cd) and it boots up fine. It has detected most of my hardware and dsl which is fantastic.
my questions are; 1. Will i always need this live CD to boot up or is there any fix to that? 2. Please give me a link from where i can download latest dvd (if it is for free)? |
Hey, Yeh its all free, well the 'one' distro is. The 'power' version of it you have to buy, because it comes with proprietary software, such as mp3 and dvd playback. But all of these can be added to the free one later.
As for installing it, there is usually a readme somewhere on the disk, or an application on the desktop that will let you install it. If not, then maybe somewhere in the software menus. Its been a while since i have used mandriva, and i didnt get the live cd, it just came as a dl and install option. *buntu has a nice little install option on the desktop that installs it for you, i would assume mandriva would have something similar |

hard drive or something like that. You can also choice where to install and how much space it may use , and where to install GRUB |
Personal preference: Don't get DVDs for installing. Start with a minimal install from a CD and then install more stuff as you need it.

I have switched to Debian. Mandriva is too basic for my liking. There isnt any thrill like "Linux" in it. On the other hand Debian is yummy and thrilling and awsome!!!!
