+Let's not forget the main issue is to provide ISO's through Mageia
+Community groups to potential users who cannot get ISO's from their slow
+connection. Some people cannot afford to have their telephone busy with
+a download lasting for a day or so.
+
+This issue is also about providing an ISO to users with no connection to
+the internet. This issue is NOT about people who have high speed
+connection to the internet
+
+In these cases, the idea is that the local Mageia Community group could
+supply an ISO with hopefully all updates to the new user.
