</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I was talking to someone i know about Mageia, and she poked around the

</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; netbook didn't have cdrom.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I had to admit i didn't know exactly how, which brings me to my point:

</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; WDYT?

I would prefer to not link the download page to our temporary wiki, as it 
doesn't look that good imho.

an extra translatable page on the website would sound good, i suppose:

rough format:
-----------------
What to do with this iso file?

first, choose the right one for you.
==&gt; explanation about 32bit/64bit
==&gt; mention about dualboot
==&gt; mention about live iso and how you can install that if you want
==&gt; mention about the other isos and briefly what they mean

option 1) burn it to CD/DVD with your favourite CD/DVD burner
==&gt; examples with small screenshot from windows/macosx/linux
==&gt; notice on size of iso and CD or DVD format, notion about RW also being ok
==&gt; explanation of verifying md5sum

option 2) how to put an iso on a stick?
==&gt; examples with small screenshot from windows/macosx/linux
==&gt; explanation of verifying md5sum

option 3) virtualisation
==&gt; briefly mention XEN/KVM/Vbox/VMWare
==&gt; explanation of importance of verifying an md5sum


something like this...
