And why don't we affect specific packages to the country exactly like the localization is affected ? In France too the default install is certainly the choice of the educational establishments ... but in french FR_FR, not in EN_US. So, why not a pre-selection of certain kind of packages in the same time of selection of the country in the install menu ? Suggestion : (don't beat me please) : Actually, we have team for translating the texts ... why not somes teams for choose between "free or not free" packages in localized variation of Mageia. I know PLF (without that, no Mandriva on my PC), but I think that waiting the PLF adaptation, or have garbage free packages after PLF installation is not optimal. Own remark : (No, no, don't beat ...) Mageia is new, young, dynamical ... I suggest to use this situation for don't go in the same ways than the others ... With "free + PLF", we don't inovate in regard of the existing Mandriva / OpenSuse / Ubuntu / Slac/ etc ... etc ... we only repeat the old schema. Why do a new distro also ?
I think pre-selected Country installs would just be too hard to coordinate, laws change. Free and non-free is pretty simple.
