So am I reading this right, if I order one of these CD's I can install mandrake 8.2 onto my Amiga1200 with BlizzPPC+BVision? I wonder if it uses the BVision card?

That's right!
regarding BVision support, I don't know, you'd have to check with the Image Installer Team guys.

Btw, for some reason it was left out in the post, but as of march 1st there will also be a Pegasos 1 AND 2 version of the Image Installer V2 CD and DVD.

Cheers,
Ron

Thanks for that Ron, have emailed them and asked!

Thats because we don't like the Pegasos

I know, I was being sarcastic

Just thought it a bit childish, considering the various reassurances given before that aw.net was pro-amiga, but not anti-pegasos. Cutting in a general press release and taking the word Pegasos out, I find a bit silly.

Cheers,
Ron

I agree... Kinda sad to see this kind of censorship of news articles...

The DVD version contains the Gentoo, Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo, Yellow Dog and PegXLin distributions ( for Pegasos 1 and 2 ). For the CD version, the wanted distribution(s) can be choosen.

Was this added after the news was posted? Where's the censorship? I really wish people would give the moderators a chance before the usual comments kick in.

Cheers,
Ian

As i understood it from the orginal poster, some parts was actually stripped out... The same news article was also posted at a.org which said the following:
Quote:

On march 1st, the distribution of the Image Installer V2 will start. Initially, there will be versions for Pegasos 1+2, and classic Amiga computers with PPC card. The DVD version contains the Gentoo, Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo, Yellow Dog and PegXLin distributions. For the CD version, the wanted distribution(s) can be choosen. In april an AmigaOne version of the Image Installer V2 CD and DVD will follow. For more information: http://www.amipeglin.de.vu/

Seems to me like some parts are removed....

Yes, I also think that this censorship is a bit rediculous. In my opinion the moderators should change back to the original news post ASAP.

And never do this stupid moderating again!

I see - I agree with you that it does seem as if some of the news has been removed.

I do hope it was just a mix up.

Well the news story has been edited now

IMHO, news articles written by AW.net don't need to mention non-Amiga platforms and they should only be mentioned if something is associated with the Amiga as well - but editing a press release like this is going a bit to far...

ROTFL

Strictly speaking, a press release shouldn't even BE presented as news, even though many newspapers and magazines, online and off, frequently present them as exactly that. Well, it fills space with a minimum of effort

I don't really see the point of the thing to be honest, as the AmigaOne link is pretty tenuous.
