  <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>Non-free</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 ATI 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, etc.</para>
