</I>I think this is a very valuable discussion and a need for it showing by the
number of posts.
people often do not know about the media manager:
I was one of 'em. Where is it? In Mageia, Control Cender, Configure media, I
didn't know a way to add a medium by hand. If I click on the add button I can
add either an <update sources only> and/or a <full set of sources> and what
it does, it adds a $mirrorlist as source, I do not know or have control where
those are. I have to go to -> file and then yes, I get a list. This is not very
obvious since there is an <add> button.
So instead I used easyurpmi old interface (which shows a lot of errors) and
then copied and paste the command into a konsole.
Maybe by adding the options to show when clicking on the add button would
provide a good option, but I think it is is too late for Mageia 1
