Unlike FEDORA and Suse Linux the installation steps are smooth.
1. Language
2. Locality.
3. Licence Agreement
4. Partitioning

Two SWAP were recggnized by default.
No Lecture
5. Installation

I think all three Desktops are installed.
That may be the reason for long duratio.

Language
GRUB and EFI
Take some time to 8 other distributions and 20 partitions.
Probing Foreign OSs

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

This is how I entered into Linux World.
Refreshing Nostalgia.
But now I am having 10 duatributions in my Old Laptop.
