+Would anyone mind if update
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks, and then update
+the URL in the spec file of drakx-installer-stage2 to point to it, along
+with a comment on how to create the source tar.xz
+Current URL in the spec is: http://wiki.mandriva.com/Tools/DrakX  (which
+just goes to Mandriva's main wiki page)
