Lots of fixes and several new features for this new beta. Download from mandrake's websiteRelease notes:
- Switch to udev, update of dynamic and the initscripts, that is
likely to bring some fun, so test and test again.
- Linux kernel 2.6.8.1.
- Two new comers in the now big drak* family, drakroam for wireless
connections and drakbt as bittorrent wizard.
- Evolution, we had some reports, we would like to be sure everything
is now working correctly.
- The litte net applet in the task bar to check the network status.
- Update of dcraw which allow to convert most of the raw format of
digital cameras.
- Displaying of release notes during packages installation. They may
move somewhere else, but to check the feature.
- Again gnome 2.6 to test.
- New menu structure (no need to report yet any bugs related to
missing icons or capitalization problems)
- Xchat 2.4.0
Bug fixes:
- Everything related to modem connection, ppp, pppoe, pppoa, ppptp.
- ACPI should now be correctly detected and activated.
- Fix of ethernet firewire.
- Boot discs should now work again.
- Hebrew displaying during the installation should be correct.
- Network connection during installation (especially for CD install)
should work now (for example to download security updates or to detect network printers).
- Lots of fixes into Mozilla.
- Multi-CD installation is likely to work now with ISO files on a harddrive (little naming problem in beta 1 prevented it to work).
- Printerdrake should work now (printers automatically detected and configured during installation)
Known troubles:
- Kernel 2.6.8.1 breaks CD burning as a user ; again this kernel panic at the end of installation, we are working on it.
- It may be that the KDE configuration is not updated correctly between beta 1 and beta 2.
