Mandrake9.2 is out!

[Elliott Chapin]

There doesn't seem to be a way for urpmi to get me from 9.1 to 9.2. So I 
made up a boot floppy with network.img. Once that was up and running all 
was fine until I hit the source panel (ftp site, directory). Despite 
connection and various guesses as to how deep into the tree to go I got a 
report that mdk_inststage2.bz2 couldn't be found. Perhaps there's a bit of 
"common knowledge" that I've missed re how to fill in the "directory" field.

Thanks again for any advice.
