[Mageia-dev] Suggestion: what to do with iso?

Thu Apr 28 09:56:20 CEST 2011

Hello!
+
+I think it would be a good idea to have clear instructions on how to
+put it on a USB. I bought a netbook a couple of years ago, and I
+couldn't get any distribution to install except Ubuntu Netbook
+Edition, and that's not the one I wanted, so instructions on how to
+get Mageia to install from USB would definitely be a good idea. In
+addition, I've noticed that nowadays a lot of non-netbooks laptops
+with 12" screens also ship without DVD-player so it's becoming a
+bigger problem (unless you have an external DVD-drive).
+
+Since Mageia comes from Mandriva, maybe instructions on how to create
+the USB from Windows and from Mandriva (and maybe from a desktop/other
+laptop install of Mageia)?
+
+Regards,
+
+David
