Nope.

There are so many changes (nearly everything) that you will need to download the full set.

Perhaps a mirror? Or maybe it is on bittorrent? Or if a friend can get a better download speed, have them do it?

I'd like to use mandrake but i cant view 1152x864 resulotion with it , because of the my monitor and graphic card, i can use 1152x864 resulotion with knoppix by booting with these commands

knoppix noddc screen=1152x864 vga=normal

is there a way to boot mandrake like this ? :unsure:

Yeah.

Make an entry into your /etc/X11/XF86config file that says you can. ;)

You will see a list of allowable resolutions. Just add the resolution you want to see into that list. :yes:

Can anyone tell me if mandrake has radeon 9600xt drivers?

In 9.2 i just couldn't open the xwindows properly.

I'm noob @ linux :p, but i like the OS.

I am not 100% positive, but with the 2.6 kernel and much of the latest software, it would be likely to be better.

(if nothing else, you can use VESA-compliant modes)

Just got it installed... rather sweet and extremely fast...

I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and it installed without a hitch. I'm really digging the new 2.6.x kernels.

Just tried it myself and very impressed - this is the first distro that worked out of the box with my nForce sound and net (it uses ALSA and forcedeth respectively), and even allows all 6 speakers to be used with the new version of ALSA. The only problem I've had is that I need to power down instead of reboot or the network doesn't work with Windows, but I think this is a forcedeth, not MDK issue.
