Start and boot on it.

Select the new entry,

After the network configuration, you arrive on one page for select from:

"1" is rather cryptic. Perhaps "Mageia_1" or "cauldron" would be better. Selecting "1", however, does seem to work (at least on i586). A choice of mirrors is offered and the installer does start to load. I did not proceed any further as the mirror was extremely slow and I have my own local mirror that I use.

Yeah, I noticed that too myself, when testing the boot.iso, but I haven't fixed it yet.

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2011-03-09 09:09:31 CET

I confirm too (but I wasn't disturbed enough to report)
Actually it's a stage1 issue
