My Mageia 1 KDE test ended very quick with two big bugs: The installer do the partitioning, image copy to hard disk starts and then…nothing… just a blank square for more than 10 minutes… then reacted againg so i could finish the installation.
Second bug: No compiz 3D, no configuration possible. This is a bug many other people are experiencing. Kwin crashing too so no 3D at all.
I’m sorry to say this but Mageia 1 was not a quality experience i was expecting for.
My CDs are double checked for errors when burning using md5, burned at low speed and checked again if the distro has this feature at startup (like ubuntu).
My PC is an AMD Athlon64 3000+/ 1 Gb ram/ 200 mb HD/ Biostar MB./ nVidia 6200-256Mb AGP. This is my test machine and never fails with any distro unless… there is a bug

Maybe is some kind of driver problem with 6200/7300 nvidias, don't know. I hope you can help me solve this.
