|    Problem buying Mandriva    |
|    16 Jun 12 16:58:22    |
      From: mnieuw@zap.a2000.nl              Hi,              I wanted to upgrade an existing Mandriva 2010.2 machine to 2011, but that       doesn't work with the Live 2011. I am quite willing to buy the Powerpack to       support Mandriva, but I am not willing to part with things like address and       telnr . If I buy something in a normal shop I don't even have to give my       name, I see no reason why they need anything more than my email (for       delivery) and money. So a missed sale opportunity for Mandriva. I have bought       several Mandrake/Mandriva versions since 2002, but as I cannot get it in a       normal shop anymore or from my favorate online reseller, I am now downloading       Mageia. See if that is useful, if not, I'll stick with 2010.2 for a while       more.       BTW, after this I tried the online update, but that warned of incompatible       modules. In a previous upgrade (2009 to 2010 I think), after continuing in       spite of the warnings I ended up with a broken system, so I'm not going to       try that anymore.              Mat Nieuwenhoven              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
