Updated Mandrake 9.2 ?
 
Hi

I just downloaded the 9.2 ISOs from my ISP, however it didnt have the MP5sums, so I went in search.

On my google travels I came across this site...

http://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-iso/i586/

Contained in this directory are files
Mandrake92-updated-cd1.iso
Mandrake92-updated-cd2.iso
Mandrake92-updated-cd3.iso
Mandrake92-updated-cd4.iso

I am not sure why there are 4, nor why they are "updated", however the MD5s do not match those of my standard 9.2 ISOs (which I have since verified).

Is this a new version that fixes the LG CD drive bug among other things? I would be inclined to think so except they were posted on October the 24th, and I have yet to hear about downloadable "update" ISO versions.

Should I wait and see if new versions come out soon and re-download them, or just install the ones I have? (I do not have an LG drive ;) )
I am itching to install it as my current installation of 9.1 resides on a dying hard drive and I want to install 9.2 afresh on a new drive, but dont want to have to immediately re-install if a *fixed* version is released.

What do you think?

Note: I cannot just download the files from the above site firstly because I have a download cap on all data I download from outside my ISP and its pretty much used, and secondly, Im not 100% sure what these new files are.

I'll let you know later today. I'm downloading those isos now.

ill save you the trouble, i downloaded CD1 from that site and installed with it, I was asked during install to insert CD2 Mandrake 9.2 Cooker, so it would appear that version of mandrake is the cooker version.
