+As Anne wrote in the bug report:
+"No it's just not possible. Help is provided by documentation. We cannot reuse
+Mandriva documentation because of license. It will ask weeks of work to get
+proper one, which should happen for Mageia2."
+
+Meaning:
+  - either help texts for each screen must be compiled new, translated
+and integrated
+  - or an older version of the official Mandriva documentation could be
+"canibalized" for these texts.
+(to the best of my knowledge older versions are free, and most of the
+installer documentation can be used because the installer did not
+change much in the last 2 years)
