+I don't know who did that great job, but I'd like to congratulate this
+community, as with the beta of Mageia 3 I'm now able to install a very
+minimal distro for a firewall with 340 packages "only" without doing any
+urpme in my postinstall script !! Very happy about that, please keep up
+the good work !

+Greetings,
+Bruno.
