2011.0 DVD

[Renaud (Ron) Olgiati]

Anyone know where to find the .iso of a full 2011.0 install DVD ?
(as opposed to the "live" DVD offered on the MDV site)

TIA,

Ron.

I'm not aware that it exists except with Mageia. And I personally prefer
the full [grown up?] DVD to the current liveDVD. The current liveDVD is
aimed at noobs and less technical users and any who are made "afraid by
to many choices". So we might have to build it ourselves which I don't
know how to do. Do you have any thoughts as to where it would be best to
ask for help with this? Mageia? Fedora? Cooker ML?

Thanks,

Not too long ago (maybe within a couple of months or so) there
was a discussion on creating DVDs to install special-purpose
versions of Mandriva, e.g. Gnome desktop (which Mandriva itself
no longer supports directly). You might go to the forum archives
on nabble and search.

I found the complexity implicit in some of the stuff to be more
than I was willing to dig into, much less try to use.

Cheers!

Thanks and I will look in to this. Knowledge wise I'm just a user so I
would need help and need to learn a lot. And that's if it isn't over my
head to begin with. But I am googleing and thinking on it. Do have the
40+ hour job to factor in as well...

Thanks,

There is not one.

All 2011.0 iso's are being made using livecd.
This is true of the currently available kde edition and will also
be true of the gnome, lxde, and xfce editions when they are done.

For 2011.0 and/or cooker the Only way to do a "normal" install is
to do a net install using the corresponding i586/x86_64 boot.iso

I did such a cooker install mid-August on a different system.
Aside from needing to modify the 'media' path; (cooker boot.iso has not
been updated since the 2011.0 release and defaults to 2011.0 path);
the install ran and completed without issue.
