I've noticed as I installed Mageia on my laptop that Mandriva gets erased from the harddrive because you don't know how to choose in the installation.

I wish the installation would behave like this: http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu904installation-large_007a.jpg

Exactly, *you* don't know how to choose in the installation; that doesn't mean you can't...

Look closely when installing Mageia, particularly at the Partitioning step.

Simply choose 'custom disk partitioning'
Comment 3 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-03-27 08:50:39 CEST 
And where are the instructions for a newbie to do so to guide him/her forward?
Comment 4 José Jorge 2011-09-30 17:32:53 CEST 
Can't we close this bug?
- it is possible to install as many systems as you want
- we can't manage all grub1/2/lilo combinations out there, it will always be not for newbies...
