[luau] Mandrake 9.0 rc2 released

[W. Wayne Liauh]

I did a ftp installation which comprised the following main steps:

(1) downloaded network.img from videl mirror;

(2) burned it onto a floppy: dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k ;

(3) re-booted the machine and waited until I was re-connected to the 
videl mirror;

(4) skipped the first set of two questions, answered the first two of 
the second set of four questions with "videl.ics.hawaii.edu" and 
"/mirror/mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586", respectively; and

(5) began installation and answered the questions as if you were 
installing from ISO images

(at the very end, make sure to answer "no," when asked whether you 
wanted an update--this is the most recent info, there is no update)

The whole process took less than than 45 minutes with RoadRunner.  To my 
great amazement (after beta 4, I really thought Mandrake had finally 
fizzled out), RC2 is in a very fine shape, and should be ready to 
release soon!

KOffice 1.2 (especially Kwrite) is great.  I strongly recommend everyone 
to give it a try.
