</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Correct. It's the same dilemma you have in Mandriva. You either need a
</I>&gt;<i> cable attached to use the free edition or you have to use the &quot;ONE
</I>&gt;<i> Edition&quot; and install all the needed software later (ex:
</I>&gt;<i> system-config-printer, which is not on the ONE cds).
</I>
Or, you use Powerpack DVD.

The question is, should there be a Mageia equivalent?
