  <para>Here you have the list of available repositories. Not all repositories
  are available, according to which media you use for installing. The
  repositories selection determines which packages will be available for
  selection during the next steps.</para>

  <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
      <para>The <emphasis>Core</emphasis> repository cannot be disabled as it
      contains the base of the distribution.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>The <emphasis>Nonfree</emphasis> repository includes packages that
      are free-of-charge, i.e. Mageia may redistribute them, but they contain
      closed-source software (hence the name - Nonfree). For example this
      repository includes nVidia and AMD graphics card proprietary drivers,
      firmware for various WiFi cards, etc.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>The <emphasis>Tainted</emphasis> repository includes packages
      released under a free license. The main criteria for placing packages in
      this repository is that they may infringe patents and copyright laws in
      some countries, e.g. multimedia codecs needed to play various
      audio/video files; packages needed to play commercial video DVD's,
      etc.</para>
