The source selection determines which packages will be available during the
subsequent steps.</p><p>For a network source, there are two steps to follow:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>Choosing and activating the network, if not already up.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Selecting a mirror or specifying a URL (very first entry). By
selecting a mirror, you have access to the selection of all repositories
managed by Mageia, like the <span class="emphasis"><em>Nonfree</em></span>, the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Tainted</em></span> repositories and the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Updates</em></span>. With the URL, you can designate a specific
repository or your own NFS installation.</p></li></ol></div><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>If you are updating a 64-bit installation which may contain some

by selecting one of the Network protocols here. The 64-bit DVD ISO only
contains 64-bit and <span class="emphasis"><em>noarch</em></span> packages, it will not be
able to update the 32-bit packages. However, after adding an online

are free-of-charge, i.e. Mageia may redistribute them, but they contain
closed-source software (hence the name - Nonfree). For example this
repository includes nVidia and AMD graphics card proprietary drivers,
firmware for various WiFi cards, etc.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The <span class="emphasis"><em>Tainted</em></span> repository includes packages
released under a free license. The main criteria for placing packages in
this repository is that they may infringe patents and copyright laws in
some countries, e.g. multimedia codecs needed to play various
audio/video files; packages needed to play commercial video DVD's,
etc.</p></li></ul></div></div></div><div class="section" title="Desktop Selection"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="chooseDesktop"><!----></a>Desktop Selection</h3></div></div></div><p>Some choices made here will open other screens with related

either (or, actually use both) of these, or if you want to modify the
