+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+That's true. There is room for improvement in terms of online help
+during installation. (Another distro is much better at this than us or
+mdv.)
+
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> My favorite part is where he complains about the message &quot;You must add
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> media&quot;: how would anybody know what to do with a button &quot;Add media&quot;
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> next to the message. :)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> yes, that was funny, first he complains of no codec (likely patented) and then
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> about no media sources, which would solve the first one. /o\
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> But, as a (new) user, how is he supposed to know firsthand? Couldn't
+</I>&gt;<i> the feedback and whole user flow be changed?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> For instance, if the only action available to &quot;No medium found&quot; is
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;Add media&quot;, why confuse him by asking what to do? instead of just
+</I>&gt;<i> adding the media and asking a further, more to the point question? (or
+</I>&gt;<i> doing something else more to the point in this context)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+His point about missing codecs does reflect a reaction which I suspect
+would be fairly common. A better explanation of alternatives and
+consequences would be a very good idea. Note that many (including
+myself) for various reasons don't have a reliable enough Internet
+connexion to download during install, so they may be reluctant to add
+media at that point, even if they do have Internet access.
+
+It is ironic that he starts by saying that he has been pleased in his
+reviews of Mandriva, but most of his criticisms seemed to be where
+Mageia followed Mandriva practices. The tone probably being decided by
+the lack of a successful install.
