+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> of the DVD. :)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Yep, it could just be an option. The desktop selection step seems to be a

+</I>&gt;<i> right before packages installation. Though it would have to be renamed.

+</I>&gt;<i> We could have a checkbox &quot;Install proprietary drivers if needed

+</I>
+Are you aware that this would mean that Mageia is not a &quot;free
+distribution&quot; as planned? No matter how you phrase the question and
+how many checkboxes a user would have to check, if non-free contents
+is included in an ISO it is not a free ISO anymore.
