I have installed Mageia 9 two times from scratch and in both cases I had no network connectivity for the automatic update at the end of the installation process that takes place directly before booting into the newly installed system. It says 'can not establish update sources' as long as you do not setup network connectvity manually by switching to another vtXX, so that I don´t know if updating the system would have been possible afterwards if I chose to reboot directly here. Used the mga9.i586-rc1.iso as far as I remember my download from the end of the last year. I wanted to check by isosize and sha512sum if my iso is the same as the -beta1 offered now, but I did not succeed to get the same checksum (there could be zeroes at the end). Here are the commands that I have entered on the command line, although dhclient & wpa_supplicant would have been available. I could not test the DNS resolver directly but only through ping since I did find none of the programs nslookup, dig or host in the installer-environment: > ip addr add dev enp1s0 192.168.0.33 > ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev enp1s0 > ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 > echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" >>/etc/resolv.conf After this, the automatic update went fine. In case that you have network connectivity and that a few bug might slip through into the release, install-time upgrades are known to be of value.
There is no /root/install.log or /var/log/install.log as indicated here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks . The jorunalctl-logs appear to contain the messages from the first boot, but not from install time.
That is basically two issues in one report. Please tell if I should open an own report for the install.log.
This bugreport lacks information. There was no RC1 yet! Why do you expect that two different versions have the same checksums? That is impossible?! What was the exact name of the image? Guessings from your side do not help in any way! What do you use: networkmanager or net-applet?
Looking at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_Development it must have been alpha1 (now I believe to remember it correctly). The beta1 image is certainly different, I am already downloading it. A byte-to-byte compare discovered a difference from byte 433 on.

What about placing a file similar to /etc/issue in the root directory of the CD/DVD image? It happens so often to me that I find some old installation CD hanging around (especially on DVD-RW or sdcard where you won´t write down the exact version number) and that I do not know what system/version it is for.
it says: Log file: /tmp/ddebug.log: same (or nearly the same) as alt-F3 /tmp/syslog: same as alt-F4 /mnt/root/ddebug.log: at the end of each step, DrakX tries to backup /tmp/ddebug.log to /mnt/root. Available only after mounting of /mnt. /mnt/root/install.log: the log of the installation (or upgrade) of the rpms /mnt/root/auto_inst.cfg.pl: .. /mnt is where the system being installed resides on (/dev/sda5 in my case).
I see some of the currently offered M9 ISOs: Mageia-9-beta1-x86_64.iso Mageia-9-beta1-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso Mageia-9-beta1-Live-Xfce-i586.iso for example. So you know what you are dealing with. A datestamp of the ISO also helps if in doubt. I have a vaugue memory that last year something called rc1 was prematurely & erroneously released, and quickly withdrawn. Could be wrong. I have not done a Classic install for ages, but recall that you define the Internet connection on the way - with an invitation to test it. Surely updates would be done afterwards? I found it surer to install & re-boot the given system, then update it. If you do update as part of install, and it does not work, you are not sure which process caused the grief.

Closing as OLD, because: 1. even if it is unclear which iso was used, it was certainly one from before Mageia 9 release 2. no one confirmed the issue
