  <para>This screen shows you the list of already recognized 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
  next steps.</para>

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

  <orderedlist>
    <listitem>
      <para>Choosing and activation of 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 role="bold">Nonfree</emphasis>,
      the <emphasis role="bold">Tainted</emphasis> repositories and the
      <emphasis role="bold">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
    ticking one of the Network protocols here. The 64-bit DVD ISO only
    contains 64-bit and noarch 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>
