</I>I agree. The Mdv systems I have installed, the owners would not have 
been interested in games and most are using it for work purposes (from 
their homes). I agree also that the most basic of games should still be 
included (the ones installed from Mandriva are fine) and a separate repo 
for the games be made available.
