</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Well, no, Only updates and Full set applies to both methods, the

</I>><i>
</I>><i> Agreed. I have been wondering about the reason behind that option for long.
</I>><i> I took for granted that "Add a specific mirror" includes a full set anyway
</I>><i> So, option #1 could be dropped and the "Add" button could offer
</I>><i> - random mirrors from mirrorlist
</I>><i> - specific mirror
</I>><i>
</I>Good idea.
But since it isn't randomly selected (unless one closes one's eyes and holds down alternately the
up and down arrows for a few seconds), and considering the menu context, it might be better worded as :
- add a mirror selected from the Mageia mirror list
- add a personnally entered mirror
Note that (in Mandriva) it is currently (approximately, translated from French) :
- add a media specific mirror
- add a personalised mirror
Obviously somewhat less than clear.
(Also note that in English "mirror list" is 2 words.)
my 2 cents :)
