Hum, IIRC, I experienced the same problem as Len with all my DVD installs: everything is okay except for network connection, which is then available with no issue on the first boot. Still, I installed Mageia RC with a net install thanks to boot.iso, and there was no issue. So the point may be elsewhere, maybe related to what andre said about his ISP? Regards, Rémi / Akien
