Detailed Description
Mageia should offer to install the major software (and proprietary drivers etc..) that can't be hosted in Live edition due to a space lack. This could be done through a new feature that would pops up after the first sources set up.
Steps to follow:
1- use of drakhardware to install all the drivers needed by the specific system
2- dropbox list of software like Calligra, cups, and others (to be chosen and approved by the developers). The user can choose if install them by checking the boxes
Why it would be good for Mageia to include it
Because all the needed software (codecs, drivers and must-have programs) would be immediately installed after the sources configuration, simplyfing the installation process.
