Fair enough, but XP is still the most used Windows version used by roughly half of all Windows users [1], so mandriva-seed is still useful for a lot of people.

Re: [Mageia-dev] Suggestion: what to do with iso?
There is an easy to follow step by step user-contributed tutorial on how to use mandriva-seed in Windows on my website. It was written for Mandriva 2009.1 but I guess it should be usable for Mageia too.

In short, at grub graphic menu, when timeout starts to run and the spinners well, so, spin, the icon inside the spinner jumps up and down as if it is misaligned in some of the steps.

[Mageia-dev] Need the help of a gnome dev for gsplash
Hi, I am looking at creating a splash for gnome, however, when looking for the relevant code, I couldn't find it anywhere. There were some parts of theme in svn/soft/theme/ia_ora-gnome, however I couldn't see anything relevant to a splash screen. On further investigation, it seemed that the splash was removed by upstream. Is there any thoughts on how to proceed with this, or are we planning on not shipping a splash screen?

What about then a message stating that we didn't finished the cleaning
in time and so on ?

Re: [Mageia-dev] Suggestion: what to do with iso?
Hello! I remember that when I created a usb from ISO I had some strange problem making the USB bootable. Maybe some comment on how to do that? I don't remember how I did it then, but I assume using fdisk or something? Dismount the USB, fidks /dev/sdb1 (or whatever it could be on the users computer) and change the bootable flag (?). And a comment on how to find the device for the USB. Other than that this looks like a good design.

The only one small problem I notice is with drakxservices. drakxservices display that vboxadd-timesync is stopped when "service vboxadd-timesync status" return running.

About the license issue, isn't that a non issue:
$ rpm -qp --qf '%{license}\n'

Re: [Mageia-dev] Suggestion: what to do with iso?
Hello! I think it would be a good idea to have clear instructions on how to put it on a USB. I bought a netbook a couple of years ago, and I couldn't get any distribution to install except Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and that's not the one I wanted, so instructions on how to get Mageia to install from USB would definitely be a good idea. In addition, I've noticed that nowadays a lot of non-netbooks laptops with 12" screens also ship without DVD-player so it's becoming a bigger problem (unless you have an external DVD-drive). Since Mageia comes from Mandriva, maybe instructions on how to create the USB from Windows and from Mandriva (and maybe from a desktop/other laptop install of Mageia)?

[Mageia-dev] Request for Comment: #201 (which blocks #56)
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201 Should this patch be put in or not? Either way we'll have to update status of this issue.
