  <para>This screen gives 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 for
  selection 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 Nonfree , the Tainted repositories and the
      Updates. 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, installer will find
      the needed 32 bit packages there.</para>
