If you have a fast reliable connection there is the netinstall isos at
(Mirror_of_choice))/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/images/
Note: Each new kernel causes the Cauldron netinstall isos to be rebuilt.
Some changes to mythfilldatabase arguments, some games no longer available enigma, slune, tuxmathscrabble, vegastrike
Mageia veterans should know this by now, but as an FYI for newbies, keep
in mind that this is an alpha release, which means that bugs are expected.
Looking for those bugs, in fact, is the very reason for an alpha release
like this. It has been tested as much as possible with the hardware
available to the all-volunteer Developer and QA teams, so it is being
sent out to the larger public pool of users and hardware to look for
bugs that might not have shown up yet.
PLEASE do not replace a working production install with an install from
this release, unless you are willing to accept the consequences of one
of those as yet unknown bugs.
And as with any new install, MAKE SURE ALL DATA IS BACKED UP!
