Not possible for people who do not have network up during installation (lots of wifi users). >> These little problems for a geek, are montains for beginner.

It's not a matter of being friendly or unfriendly with beginners. It's a matter of the position towards the free/non-free issue and the fact that the usage of some tainted software may be illegal in a user's country. You can argue endlessly about this and never get to a result, so each distributor (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mandriva, Mageia, etc.) has to decide on his position. Ubuntu decided for "opt-out", Mageia decided for "opt-in". -- wobo
