** license text is in English, a German version was available, maybe
it was copyrighted to Mandriva?
The license text has also been updated/cleaned IIRC so old translations
might not match anymore...
** no proprietary driver on the DVD - this was expected, no cardiac
arrest here.
**** BIG PROBLEM: no driver for the Wifi chip (system recognizes the
AR9285 Atheros), so no wireless internet connection unless you use a
cable for eth connection. Same problem as with the Free Edition of
Mandriva: you can't use it if you have no cable connection to your
router.
Jep. nothing from nonfree was added to theese DVDs.
IIRC in your case getting kernel-firmware-extra from nonfree is all that
should be needed.
System uses a default KDE splash, the desktop comes up very fast. AND I LOVE IT!
The desktop background is totally black, no picture, no color (don't
be pedantic about black being a color or not).
Yeah, it's a small problem at this point...
but you can fix it easily for now by running this command as root:
sh /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/switch-themes Mageia-Default
Conclusion:
As for a "not-for-use" Alpha it is a very good one!
Yep.
for an initial alpha1 its very nice...
Thx to all devels and all the other never-to-be-mentioned people who
helped giving Mageia such a good start!
Good job, folks!
Yeah, people have been doing a great work so far...
Big thanks to all...
