Angry Mandrake 9.2 RC2 X-Free RPM Broken!


To all Mandrake 9.2 RC2 users. Please be advised that during the installation of Mandrake 9.2 RC2 you will discover that the X-Free RPM is broken. Therefore, the GUI's which depends on X-Free (server) will not work. Linux 9.2 RC2 will run in command line mode only. The only way that I was able to get around this was to reinstall Mandrake 9.1 (Bamboo) and then try to upgrade to 9.2 RC2; however, even then the install doesn't recognize that there is a previous Mandrake install. Even if you select the "upgrade" option, 9.2 RC2 still goes forward with a full regular installation. The only good new is that it apparantly uses the working X-Free Server from 9.1. When it finishes installing, 9.2 RC2 then works in GUI mode. However, even then there are some "glitches" as I've noticed that the Kfree space program doesn't recognize my partitions correctly.

Best Regards,
Whoots
