____Notes___
[color=purple]PLEASE HELP SEEDING[/color] a cuple weeks after download if you have the possibility. -I have only little bandwidth.
[color=brown]These are development releases; I will stop seeding when final[/color] is uploaded here or officially released.
* Official releases torrents are hosted by Mandriva * - see their website
Mandriva community seed these alpha, beta, RC torrents
- Because: [url]https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45916#c16[/url]

[color=blue]__Install from USB stick possible__[/color]
Instead fo burning these files to CD/DVD it is now possible to put them om a USB stick.
It do not work by simply copying, you must put it as image, i suggest the command dd. (If you do not know what I talk about, do noṫ try.)
Some people find mandriva_seed better: [url]http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=108860[/url]
[color=purple][color=blue]About what variant - edition of same Mandriva version - to choose[/color][/color]
[url]http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Choosing_the_right_edition[/url] In short:
[color=blue]_free_ [/color] install DVD, no proprietary software.
two versions, for i586 and x86-64 respectively
[color=blue]_dual_[/color] install CD for both architectures, limited in packages of course. Rest is installed from internet during or after installation.
[color=blue]_One_[/color] Live CD to test it out without installation. Also included are a non-free drivers for some graphics and WiFI etc. You may also install from this CD, but it is more afterwork cleaning up what you do not want and add what you want, than using the other choices.
Languages in the different Ones: see the corresponding *.lang file in ftp directory or inside torrent.
Due to restricted space on a CD, One is available in several language 'flavors' and KDE _or_ GNOME desktops. ( Mandriva Linux is available in about 70 different languages. The Free and Powerpack editions contain all of these localizations. ) New is the Moblin variant for palmtop computers.
[color=blue]_VirtualBox image_[/color] *New format for mandriva* tar.bz2 compressed image for VirtualBox [url]http://www.virtualbox.org/[/url]
...Plus 2 Commercial versions (no torrents here) -get official versions from Mandriva site:
[color=blue]Powerpack[/color] is commercial: DVD like free plus proprietary drivers, codecs and some other stuff.
This is the pay-for version only to be hosted by Mandriva.
Sure you can manually add most software from differentplaces but this is a really nice piece.
[color=green]Buying the Powerpack box or subscription is a great way to support Mandriva.[/color] -Also programmers need food...
[color=blue]Flash [/color]is like One, but is a USB stick where you also can keep your files, see mandriva website. Limited language choice.
