Hello,

I was trying to download the 32 bits net install from the website, but all link are dead. They contains only Mageia 7, but not 7.1

I just wanted to let you know.

Seems the filenames for the netinstall images are different, or something got borked when they were updated. In the meantime, you should be able to remove the .1 from the download link.
So Mageia-7.1-netinstall-i586.iso becomes Mageia-7-netinstall-i586.iso. As it only downloads the most recent packages, it doesn't really matter if you use 7.1 or 7 netinstall image, unless the original 7 netinstaller doesn't boot on your hardware.

Hi,

thank you for your answer.
I managed to use it yesterday. I simply explored the ftp and found the mageia 7 install.

Since yesterday evening, my very old ecafe (atom 1,6Ghz) is available for my kids to run gcompris :) )
Another linux mageia computer at home !!!

Quite impressing how xfce qt is light and working there...

Lxqt and XFCE are good choices for old desktops, I use with LXQT environment on an Intel CoreTM 2 Duo.
