A request here: the screenshots should be in the local language, if possible. To newbies, it is important that the interfaces are in their native language. And this is furthermore one of Mandrakes strengths, Mandrake is more translated into native languages than MS windows. Also descriptions should be in native language, at least the short descriptions. We once had theat in specspo, but that is not used anymore. Anyway we are showing text out of hdlists in rpmdrake, ad they do not come translated. Nah, I think installing programs based on the menu is much more user friendly. I note that right-clicking in the menu is currently not used, and thus free for perusal for new functionality.
