Full 6-CD Powerpack release available for Standard members

Mandriva Club Standard members are usually given access to a special edition of each release consisting of the first four CDs of the Powerpack (the full Powerpack is six CDs).

However, for Mandriva Linux 2007, we found that some very important packages were placed on the fifth and sixth CDs: i586 users may have noticed that the task-3ddesktop package is unavailable on the four CD edition, rendering the 3D desktop support non-functional until the package is installed by other means, and x86-64 users will probably have noticed that the 'rpmdrake' and 'drakconf' packages (which contain the graphical software installation / removal tools and the Mandriva Control Center, respectively) were missing.

To resolve these problems, we are now giving Standard members access to all six CDs of the Powerpack edition.

Standard members should find that their My Torrents page now includes the fifth and sixth CDs, and that they are available on the FTP / HTTP download mirrors (some FTP / HTTP mirrors may take a short time after the posting of this message to make the change).

We advise all Standard members to download all six CDs of the Powerpack and use them in future installations to avoid any missing package issues with the installation.

Please note that the DVD edition is still available only to Silver and above level members.

Checked but there are only links for discs 5 and 6 for the 64 bit. Nothing for the 32 bit. When will those be available?

I'll get right on it, sorry...are you referring to the torrents section?

Thanks a lot, you are great!

ok, the torrents should be available now, if you don't see 'em, log out and in again and refresh the page, if you still don't see 'em, yell at me :)

Still no sign of the i.586 version of CD5-6 !
  • and the site has registered my silver upgrade (tonight) correctly.

ghmitch | 06.10.2006 at 09:07 PM
Adam, they are still not there :(

J'ai bien l'acces au CD5-6 pour x64 mais pas pour i586.

gillux1963 | 06.10.2006 at 11:05 PM
Maintenant c'est OK pour i586 Merci Mandriva

Por unas horas se suspendio la descarga, supongo que se debe a la actualización para poder descargar los 6 CDs

I'm a silver member, but I wanted to thank Mr. Williamson and the other Mandriva crew for this and the other wise and good business decisions that have accompanied this release. A company's reputation and brand identity is an important asset, perhaps even more important than particular products, that has an actual market value.

As a mandrake/mandriva user since 1999 I was always supporting mdk by buying packs or paying my club subscription. I am now a alumini member. Why ? Well I wanted to see what mdk will bring to its standard members. Well stlil no DVD iso for club members.

I think that this is a negativ point for mdk. in 2006 it is not possible to still use CDs for installing a distribution.

Hope that mandrake will here my call

Yours

Alex

Maybe this tip will work for you to allow you create your own DVD to install with from the CDs that are provided. I've not tried it, so don't know. Highway.

Bonjour, maintenant que nous avons les 6CD du powerpack, pourrait t-on avoir svp un script de création du dvd? car mdvcd2dvd.sh ne fonctionne que pour l'architecture de la version 2006...et pas pour 2007… à moins que Mandriva nous mette directement le dvd en ligne??? Merci pour une solution quelle qu'elle soit, car disposer d'un dvd au lieu de 6 cd, c'est quand même plus agréable!

Bonjour,

Quel intérêt quand on possède un graveur DVD d'être obligé de sauvegarder la Mandriva sur 6 CD? Pourquoi obliger les adhérents à cette surconsommation de produits alors que sur la page: http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/Main/Faq?language=fr est écrit "Le niveau d'adhésion Standard est idéal pour les étudiants et les utilisateurs à faibles ressources."? Merci de votre attention.
