THANK You - Mageia 10

It is long time I have had feel of the old Madrakw/Mandriva.
Unlike FEDORA and Suse Linux the installation steps are smooth.
1. Language 
2. Locality.
3. Licence Agreement 
4. Partitioning
This is the part I het annoued with Redhat and SuSe.
They take over tthe hard disk.
Mageia Let me select a partition and EFI.
Two SWAP were recggnized by default.
No Lecture 

5. Installation 
Grohical Mode
Show the desktop types.
Plasma
GNOME 
Custome

Details 
Give the text mode.
I think it takes about 45 minutes to install.
I think all three Desktops are installed.
That may be the reason for long duratio.

Configuration 
Users and Password 
Time Zone
Language 
GRUB and EFI
Take some time to 8 other distributions and 20 partitions.
Probing Foreign OSs
Services
Configuring Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor
Installing Bootloader. Might take another half an hour. No it was quick.
Bit of a PAIN but I need these stuff for my book Linux Essentials.
Asking for additional media.
NO.
Installation complete.
Let me see whether my Boot Loader intact. Still my old Boot Loader.
No entry for Mageia.
I know what to do.
Get a new Boot Loader by installing Moksha (MX Linux).Linux.

Summary 
UPDATES 
Exit

This is how I entered into Linux World.
Refreshing Nostalgia.
But now I am having 10 duatributions in my Old Laptop.
I had only 7 outside Debian.
Thank God, I found Mageia.

Thank You, Developer Guys and Girls of Mageia Team
Excellent Job.
Especially, compared to PCLinuxOS and Bodhi Linux.
