+
+
+Indeed, since april, final Mageia1 was published ( june 1st )
+something was decided :
+8 liveCD : 4 localised KDE CD ; 4 Localised Gnome CD
+2 monoarch  install DVD (1 for 32 bits, 1 for 64 bits)
+1 dual arch install CD
+2 boot iso for net install
+
+
+The reason why not to make an install from a LiveDVD was clearly
+explained in Comment 8 ... (and having a glance to Mandriva's forums
+shows which problems occurs with an install from a LiveDVD :-(
+
+
+Nevertheless : since june, more than 1 Go of updates have been
+provided... If you install now, you will need to have a good internet
+access !!
+
+It's time to think again to provide a solution for limited speed or
+limited download quotas...
+
+- the more difficult being to provide the iso for an updated installDVD
+needing QA
+- the easiest being to provide an iso for a DVD of updated rpms (to add
+as a new source for updates, prior than mirrors) eventually with a
+script allowing a simple way to add it... (but bug 2317 may not allow
+easily to use it !!!!)
+
+In both cases burned DVD may easily be shipped to people willing to
+install but not able to update through internet (with the risk of a half
+aborted update if the access is broken when downloading)
+
+But this is not the better place to discuss about it !!!
+Perhaps need a new thread on user or dev mailing list ...
+
+Actually, the title of the bug report and its description had its answer
+: WontFix for Mageia1...
