Another feature I'd like to see is offering to copy the install CDs to disk 
(maybe in /var/install?), set them up as (a) URPMI source(s) in place of the 
removable media, and go hunting for a nearby update mirror (perhaps on first 
reboot). Users then don't need to fiddle to get updates working, or find CDs 
when they want to add software from the distro.

A reputation for staying up to date would help Mandrake.

Cheers; Leon
