  <para>This screen shows you the list of already recognised repositories. You
  can add other sources for packages, like an optical-disc or a remote source.
  The source selection determines which packages will be available during the
  subsequent steps.</para>

  <para>For a network source, there are two steps to follow:</para>

  <orderedlist>
    <listitem>
      <para>Choosing and activating the network, if not already up.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>Selecting a mirror or specifying a URL (very first entry). By
      selecting a mirror, you have access to the selection of all repositories
      managed by Mageia, like the <emphasis>Nonfree</emphasis>, the
      <emphasis>Tainted</emphasis> repositories and the
      <emphasis>Updates</emphasis>. With the URL, you can designate a specific
      repository or your own NFS installation.</para>
    </listitem>
  </orderedlist>

  <note>
    <para>If you are updating a 64-bit installation which may contain some
    32-bit packages, it is advised to use this screen to add an online mirror
    by selecting one of the Network protocols here. The 64-bit DVD ISO only
    contains 64-bit and <emphasis>noarch</emphasis> packages, it will not be
    able to update the 32-bit packages. However, after adding an online
    mirror, the installer will find the needed 32-bit packages there.</para>
