Mandrake Linux AMD64 RC1

Mandrake Linux heeft na twee betaversies de eerste release candidate uitgebracht van de AMD64-branche. In deze release van de Linux-distributie zijn kernel-updates doorgevoerd en zijn enkele applicaties voorzien van een upgrade. Het changelog ziet er als volgt uit:

Changelog:

• Kernel updates: SATA Promise driver 0.83, enable IrDA & ISDN support. PCMCIA can also work (verified on Mitac notebooks) but provided no USB device is attached and ACPI & APIC support are enabled.
• Notable DrakX installer changes: fix SMP detection code, fix fallback to XFree86 'fbdev' driver if no card specific driver is available yet. The installer can now autoconfigure the monitor provided that valid EDID blocks can be obtained early at boot.
• Make /etc/pam.d/ config files biarch capable. i.e. provided 32-bit pam modules are available, it is now possible to run 32-bit applications that depend on them.
• Make sure Mozplugger actually works, verified support for Postscript, PDF, vdeo & audio contents.
• New packages: Acon, Apache2 mod_php, Gaim, Hylafax, Mjpegtools, Nut, Ohphone, Qcad, Quadra, Skobo, SWI-Prolog, Xlockmore.
• Merge in 9.2 updates: DrakFirsttime, Fetchmail, GConf, GConf2, ORBit2, GDM, Gnome Applets, Gnome Pilot, Gnome PIM, Mailman.
