I'd put more weight on the information part.

It should guide the user to all relevant places for up-to-date
information about Mageia, to help pages (the wiki), to discussion and
support places like the forums, etc., preferrably in the language he
sets when installing the system.

Then you can add internal links to the control center, to
softwaremanagement, to hardware information.

Reason: After installation what he needs first in case of problems is
addresses he can turn to to get help. Other places are easily found in
the start menue (a section "Top Apps / Tools" would help there) but
there are no links to helping people in the menue.
