I must say, that for the time being I am very satistied with this distro. But installation process was horrible. Maybe due to nvidia driver I was not able to use installation items from the menu. After I used boot item, succesfully installed Mageia exept for localisation. But I was not able tu restart for finishig installation. I used supergrubdisk, but I had to boot as live user. I couldn't to save root password, username an user password. After booting like live user I added my person like user, but only name determinated by computer. I would like to ask developers for improving installation process. The same problem is with openmandriva distro. There is the only possibility to use vesa driver. In mageia I can use googleearth, kontact and other applications without problems. I wish developers to solve mention problems as well. I think the simpliest solution would be to leave installation of nvidia driver on users at the end of installation process.

Use the FreeDVD or DualArch CD which doesn't install Nvidia driver, only on user request.
