Description Jeffrey Bruton 2012-11-04 01:41:14 CET 
Description of problem:
Booting from the Mageia 3 Alpha 2 Non-Free Network Installer, the main install screen is labeled "Mageia 3 Alpha 3" even though it is really Alpha 2.  I magine this is the case with all 4 network installer ISO's but have not checked.  All other live and install CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMSs I've checked do not have this issue.
Aren't all the install ISOs built from the same library?  At least for common elements?  Or is this graphic coming off the network from a source that has already been changed in preparation for Alpha 3?  Either way is not good.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot off Mageia 3 Alpha 2 Non-Free Network Installer CD-ROM
2.  Proceed through the install until the main graphical install screen appears
3.  Notice is says "Mageia 3 Alpha 3" in the top left corner

This is normal as boot.iso and boot-nonfree.iso is for online instal, so it will install what is currently on available, wich at this time is WIP for Mageia 3 Alpha 3

boot* images also gets rebuilt every time a new kernel is released and when other things affecting them gets updated. This is so developers always can test out latest cauldron whenever they need to.
