Oh, sorry ;(
I was watching now and I realized that both mageia and Mandriva have ports for
both i586 and x64 architetures.
When Mageia is released, she will compete directly with Mandriva, even though
this is not your intention, Many Mandriva users will not want to migrate to
Mageia and here is the clever.
This sound like w32codecs issues. I suggest create a nonfree repository or don't
install it if user choose a non-European country during install.
How do you plan deploy applications source code to user?
Put it on installation DVD would be good, but will increase download size. Other
options are put it on a separated DVD or just at repositiries. However, we must
study GPL for these last option.
If ask.com has an agreement with Mandriva - and Mageia is not Mandriva - I don't
see reason to continue using it.
However, this is a great opportunity to us make agreement with great search
engines and obtain funds. Maybe in the future we can have our own meta search
engine, such like Big Busca -
Years ago, the GNU project recompiled Firefox with a new name - Iceweasel - what
is now used on Debian-based distros. Now, the GNU project has your own
navigator: IceCat.
Reason was a issue with Firefox logo and names, what are trademarks of Mozilla
Foundation.
So, my question: Mageia may use
I guess what current Mandriva downloads and installs by dependency groups, eg:
if a package A must be updated and A depends of B and C, what will be updated
too, URPMI downloads B, C and A and install them. (Someone to packaging team can
explain better?) I'm asking if is possible force or make
As a note, I spoke with Pascal Chevrel today from Mozilla Europe. He
told me that Debian was going back to use Firefox. Legal issues are
solved
WOW! STOP THE MACHINES!!!
Have you more details? :D
Whell, the e-mail is: trademarks at mozilla dot com . Sorry ;) .
Hey guys,
I've read almost all topics of this thread, gathered some ideas and created a
non-functional HTML prototype of Mageia Welcome Center.
I would like you to do download it at
http://www.sendspace.com/file/n29kae
and read the README file and get their views for me here.
Let's start
- Display on the welcome screen basic hardware information : Processor,
RAM, video card and the driver currently activated.
Can this be done using HTML pages or need some extra tool?
- A link to sysinfo:// that offers some hardware information that could
fit inside the welcome center as
Hi Olivier,
The idea here is not only to give general information during installation but
to create a welcome screen that'll help newbies get around a linux distro :
what are the major softs to use to cruise de net, create text document,
listen to music, configure PC, desktop and such.
I remembered now that Welcome center will lead to creation of more two pages:
http://welcome.mageia.org - the online version of Welcome Center, acessible
from the same with news and links to frequent questions what will be at:
http://kb.mageia.org - A full knowledge base in the form of questions
OK, but we need put a online version of WC. Maybe, instead of put a FAQ list,
put links to random wiki artcles. As to the knowledge base, I recognize that
with the wiki, it really is not necessary.

In the latter case, we do a poll;)

guys, I just found out that Linux Mint has something similar to what we want to
implement, but the difference is that theirs has only links to the websites of

I agree with Dick, for me the whole idea seems patronising. I have
seen this described as being for newbies or old users, well at 67

I think this Welcome center would appear in the very first boot. Just
as the welcome page of Mandriva. And with a click, in the X, you

You wouldn't see it in every boot.
That's the point: user can
Guys,
Mandriva - and many other distros, such like Arch Linux - are optimized to i686
architeture, what means Pentium II. Despite the need to keep compatibility with
older machines, what would be the problem if packages was compiled aganist
Pentium III or 4? Would the system gain more speed?
