Pterjan found some fix in bcd to reduce that problem. - the dual is not hybrid ( the first sector are empty ), as seen by hexedit ( so it doesn't boot on usb ). It seems to miss a call to isohybrid -fatfirst We removed the dual for now from main mirror, and we will likely have to remaster it for the first issue. We didn't decide yet if we ship the iso as is with a newer version later or not ( as the iso work, except for those 2 issues, and the 2nd one is easy to fix ).
I think issue #1 would make the ISO worthless for most of the intended audience. Also, as I think the CD image will be preferred by people over the DVD image who are on a limited connections, I think we should not release an ISO file that's too big; It would not be a very positive first impression for them with Mageia.
My two cents worth. Sleep tight all and thanks for all the hard work :-) Remmy
