Mandriva Linux 2006 Core Updates 1 Now Available To Club Members
#includeResource("Skel.ArticleHeader")
Mandriva Linux 2006 core updates 1 are now available to Club members, Standard level and above, in the "Download" section in "My Torrents" of the Club. This CD contains several fixes and improvements for hardware support in Mandriva Linux 2006. It is to be used on fresh installs of Mandriva Linux 2006 Powerpack DVD edition: boot from the core updates CD to start the installation, and it will ask for the original Powerpack DVD to complete installation.
Please note: do NOT use the network install function of the core updates CD. Due to a bug that was missed during testing, it will install the unstable Cooker development distribution rather than 2006.
Major changes include:
- Improved support for Intel 'Napa'-based platforms:
-
- Add Intel 945GM support
- Add CPU hotplug support
- Add SMP suspend support
- Add Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG drivers
- Add S3 & S4 support to AHCI & ata_piix drivers
- Misc hardware support:
-
- Add SATA ICH8 support
- Add 'Gilgal' ethernet support to Bensley platforms
- Add nForce 430 support (forcedeth, HDA audio)
- Update lpfc driver to 8.0.30
- Update 3w-9xxx to 2.26.02.005 (3ware 9550SX)
- X.org 6.9.0 final, with the following drivers updates:
-
- ATI 8.23.7
- nVidia 1.0-8756
- Improved 32-bit 3D acceleration support on x86_64 platforms
- Fix 3 buffer overflows that could have lead to a crash in the stage1 part of the installer (prior to starting up the graphical installer)
- Fix dmraid on 64-bit platforms
- LSI Logic megaide support currently requires to boot with "pci=noacpi"
- S4 support on Napa platforms with intel-agp in use only works with kernels i586-up-1GB and i686-up-4GB at this time (non PAE enabled kernels)

Why not release similar (without nvidia, etc) CDROM to Mandriva 2006 Free Edition users ?
Allez, faites nous une superbe 2007, et je renouvelle mon club standard !
:)
Two file is not same. One for i586(32bit) version, other one for x86_64. You can choose a suitable one for your PCs architecture.
And when it finished it asked for the DVD, which I don't have because I downloaded separate CD ISOs and installed from them.
Mandriva does seem to have a habit of only doing half the job when it comes to these things. If these "Core Updates" are really so important, why not just release a new distro?
The real problem is that too much unwanted software is installed, and there is not enough choice in the installation interface to avoid the things that you don't want.
It seems to me that a single CD-ROM should contain all the information that a new installation requires. The software which manages the installation should ask the user what he or she wants to install and then just download it over the Internet. You can do this with Mandriva with just a floppy, according to what I've read previously, so why do you really need a DVD or a set of CDs?
In all seriousness, in this day and age you should be able to configure everything as you want it at installation time and use some kind of minimal install media. If I just want a system which runs KDE and doesn't use GNOME at all, I don't have a fax so I don't need Hylafax, I don't want Kat and I'm not using an HP printer so why would I need anything like that . . ?
And so on . . .
As I have said before, "OS Bloat" should be a characteristic of Windoze, not Linux. I'm a paying customer, so give me what I want, and not what you think I should want!
This is going more and more complicated...just to get what every linux user from other distro have :(
Please try it.

Faire les mises à jour comme d'habitude.
et merci
Si j'ai installé toutes les mises à jours via mandriva update, je n'ai pas besoin d'installer ça, non ?
It's been months now. When will this ever be right again?
Can it be used with the seven Mandriva 2006 Powerpack CDROMs (if PC has no DVD drive for example) too ?
In some ways this makes me want to prefer the free editions, which si ratehr sad.
Thanks…
...et aux commentaires comme ceux de Laurent & Manoel_Pinho pour leurs précisions sur le but et la façon d'utiliser 2006CoreUpdates1 ;)
Well, both are just under a 700MB CDROM.
I'm seeding the 2 .torrent (>1GB now) & advise anybody that can do this to keep them available on their Torrent client ;)
How can I reverse this situation? Aaaarrrrghhhh! >_<
