Tips to upgrade (Score:4, Informative)
Warning: there is an official/10.2/ branch in the ftp mirrors, do not use it. It is broken, and it broke my Mandrake 10.1. You have to use the "devel" branch from the ftp mirrors, as explained in Mandriva's announcement.
After fixing manually the mess I got from the "official" upgrade, I pointed urpmi to the "devel" branch and everything went 100% smooth. Mandriva 10.2 looks very solid, no huge changes from 10.1 but nice and 95% polished (there is a rough edge here or there, nothing serious).
One more thing, after upgrading, you can add the latest kernel from the software installer.
