First off: Thanks to all the developers & contributors: I'm blown away by this distro.
My comments below might be of interest to other multi-distro junkies, hence the partitions mention in the Topic.
For the rest: I use Mageia because IMO (no one ever accused me of being humble) cooledit is the best X test editor available and yours is the only distro that includes a flawless install of it. I also paid for and use ux (UltraEdit) where I can't use cooledit.
I downloaded this off distrowatch over the weekend & installed it on sdc25 of the largest of the 3 drives I run 31 different distros on.
From the DVD boot I chose install. Naturally it took a while to catalog all those 53 partitions. But I chose one changed the Label to "Mageia" as / & ext4. It also installed nvidia 340.76 on my NVIDIA GT218 [GeForce 210]. The US International keyboard setup fine. It correctly suggested that I keep UTC on the system clock & away it went with the install. I went away to do something for a while.
When I came back the computer had rebooted. Since I don't allow my computers to boot from the DVD w/o my intervention I was in my main distro (Bluestar, an Arch Linux derivative, if you're interested). From there I mounted sdc25 to see what I would need to add to my /boot/grub/menu.lst to get it to boot. I mounted the dedicated grub legacy partition I use and made those edits. At the same time I edited the Mageia /etc/fstab to use only one swap partition. Then I rebooted. Mageia came up & warned me that the nvidia driver required 'nokmsboot' on the kernel line then chugged to a halt. Ctrl-Alt-F2 got me to a tty where the root login required no password. I added the 'nokmsboot' to the Mageia kernel line /boot/grub/menu.lst and rebooted.
From then on the install continued nicely. I especially appreciate the advanced option on the user setup to set User & Group IDs. I always set to 1000 & 100 respectively (users group on most distros) and after protesting twice about the less than 1000 group ID it went ahead & did it.
I commend you on having keepassx v2 in your repositories. It nicely handles the .kdbx databases that I had been having to install a ton of mono dependencies for KeePass 2.29 to work on Linux.
To compile tuxcards v2.2.1 I needed 'qmake'. So I installed the 639 packages of 'task-kde4-devel' & then 'gdb' as well. Again all installed flawlessly. I had tried adding 'tainted' repositories to see if it was there. I removed them when I found that it wasn't there.
Again: An excellent distro. Last November I tried to install Mageia 4 on an IBM T61 laptop via a poorly named wireless router-repeater & never succeeded despite excellent and, very patient support on on the forums. I'm home now so I'm using my wired 1 Gigabyte Ethernet card on a 'CPU~Quad core Intel Core i5-3350P (-MCP-)' not the T61. But I may install it on that as well.
I'll go to your suggestions for apps to be included area and put in a pitch of 'vfu 4.16' & 'tuxcards v2.2.1' there.
vfu is just the thing for those of us stuck out at the CLI and not remembering all those command parameters. Much more agile than mc.
