Looks like Gwenole Beauchesne, err.... I mean Mandrake, has put out the Release Candidate for Mandrakelinux 10.0 AMD 64:
It still does not contain ISDN support as 2.6.3-10mdk kernel was not ready in time. Here are the other changes.
The eMachines stuff (alt2 IIRC) is the same than through the test ISOs but you will still have to manually replace the existing kernel with the -emachines one. You may still encounter problems though as the only
other change would concern XFree86 and some kbd ioctl(). BTW, there might be a 2.6.6 kernel for testing soon, but that won't fit on final CDs, unless it's proven to work on eMachines. The default kernel will always be 2.6.3 though.

Update: The bittorrent for Mandrake 10.0 AMD64 Beta 2 is now in the normal Mandrake Bittorrent area
A couple of days ago, Warly, The Mandrake release captain, posted to the Cooker Mailing List that the structure of the mirrors will be chaning soon to accomodate the finalization of the Mandrake 10.0 release and the continued development that will be going on in the stable community branch. Here is his original post:
The reason I am posting this is that as the mirrors start to synch up over the next few days, you may find your urpmi/rpmdrake spitting out errors when you try to istall something or update. This will simply be because the paths on the mirrors will have changed, and consequently, your urpmi sources will have to be changed to accomodate this.
