Description of problem:

* when installing Mageia, I would suggest Mageia drop the final
step of offering to update the installation, and, instead, create a new
final step where the user is forced to choose the media sources and
where Mageia would then install the media sources according to the
information supplied by the user.

* this step should be as "user-friendly" as possible by asking the user
her/his locality or the zone where they reside (country). This step
would then take care of installing the media sources as part of the
final installation process.

* this would then assure that the media sources are installed right at
the point of installation. Mageia would then do the usual checks that
Mageia does when it checks for updates once the user is logged into her/his
account. IMO, there is no real urgency to do updates at the point of
installation. Updates are usually taken care of one a user is logged
into her/his account.

I also note that, in my experience, for most new users to Mageia,
installing media sources is not a well known step in the process of
installing software ... they really do not understand the necessity of
installing media sources. Therefore, IMO, it is best if the Mageia
installation process forces the installation of media sources -- this
would then help make the updating of new installations that much more
useful and seamless to a new user.
