</I> Just a quick heads up. There is a Mageia-uk irc channel.
i don't think having lots of country specific repos is a good idea, lets
have all the packages available to every one, if they have a clear
description about them then people can make up there own mind whether to
install say a french tv guide on an english located pc, as long as we can
get enough people translating.
