+some initial thoughts:
+ - upgraded artwork, where available
+ - some very noticable bugs:
+    - script.js file missing in indexhtml page, which means the page doesn't 
+redirect to www.mageia.org (and perhaps some 
+ - the KDE black background issue if possible
+ - rescue would be usefull
+ - if possible some smaller isos, since most other packages can be found 
+online, and i'm pretty sure most people don't need all this? if possible < 
+700MB ?
+
+
+also, i would like to discuss if it would be possible to modify vboxvideo 
+detection so that vbox3 packaged with mandriva could work with either vesa or 
+vboxvideo3 instead of vboxvideo (just so it won't crash); this due to the 
+upgrade path from mandriva 2010.1 .
+
+I fear we would get alot of comments if we get this wrong, even though it's 
+the users fault of not upgrading yet.
