compared md5sum: check<br>burned with k3b : check<br>(will keep this for nostalgic reasons, for same reasons I still have<br>an original 5.3 Mandrake Linux cd)<br><br>Hardware: laptop Samsung R530, Intel i3, 4G RAM, 320GB harddisk,<br>
nVidia GT218 GeForce 310M<br><br>Normal remarks are listed as they come, negative remarks (not working<br>or other) are listed with a double star<br><br> - beautiful boot splash.<br> - very fast system boot to the first installation screen<br>
- set language/keyboard to German<br><br>** license text is in English, a German version was available, maybe<br>it was copyrighted to Mandriva?<br><br> - installer recognized the existing Mandriva 2010.2 and asked if I<br>
want to upgrade (which I don't, I want my Mageia fresh!)<br> - partitioning was as expected easy as a pie with diskdrake<br><br> - selected custom desktop environment<br> - selected KDE in the group selection<br> - selected individual package selection<br>
- - KDE 4.6.0 is available, office suite is missing, some other apps<br>... this was expected, so no cardiac arrest here.<br> - - surprising: java plugin for Firefox is included!<br><br>Altogether I selected 1325 packages for installation. Installation of<br>
the packages took 11 minutes until the password settings came up.<br><br>Summary of settings:<br> - bootloader setting recognized w7 and Mandriva 2010.2<br>** soundcard setting is listed twice in the summary<br>** no proprietary driver on the DVD - this was expected, no cardiac<br>
arrest here.<br><br>**** BIG PROBLEM: no driver for the Wifi chip (system recognizes the<br>AR9285 Atheros), so no wireless internet connection unless you use a<br>cable for eth connection. Same problem as with the Free Edition of<br>
Mandriva: you can't use it if you have no cable connection to your<br>router.<br><br>After finishing the installation the system does a clean<br>shutdown/reboot (ejecting the DVD automatically)<br><br>Reboot<br><br>Again, system bootup is very fast (not checked with a stopwatch, only<br>
a feeling of speed!)<br><br>System uses a default KDE splash, the desktop comes up very fast. AND I LOVE IT!<br>The desktop background is totally black, no picture, no color (don't<br>be pedantic about black being a color or not).<br>
<br>Small things:<br>** - the menue does not display all installed apps<br> - - (example: whole KDE games package is installed but only one game<br>is showing)<br><br>** no sound in Amarok and Kscd<br>- - videos are playing in Dragon Player but no sound<br>
- - system sounds not playing<br><br>That's all I could test without internet connection.<br><br>Conclusion:<br>As for a "not-for-use" Alpha it is a very good one!<br><br>Thx to all devels and all the other never-to-be-mentioned people who<br>
helped giving Mageia such a good start!<br><br>Good job, folks!<br></blockquote></div><br>
