Mageia 1 is a nice distribution and I install it on more and more PC.
But updating after an install is very long, too much long.
Now, 600 packages must be updated after an install. This shows a good

of Mageia but it is too much for users.
My ADSL link is not very fast and a lot of people use a slower link.
A workaround is necessary. There are two path:
1- publish each month a new iso: mageia-1a, mageia-1b, and so on
2- create an iso with updates: mageia-1-upd01, ...
In each case, the sources of packages must be updated.
You will find the volunteers who will join QA team to do
the necessary quality assurance for the additional ISOs?
Each month is not really feasible, as I believe it takes one week of
work to build and test an iso.
Doing it every 3 or 6 months could be a good idea
Well, the second proposal should not really take a whole week to
do, no? Just create an iso from $repo_updates and merge
all those into one if there's enough space on the CD.
But then, i fail to see the difference between doing a default install,
and installing 600 updates from repos, or downloading an
ISO with those updates.
If you want to provide those updates to others without
redownloading, you can set --no-clean option to urpmi
and save your /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/ if that is your use case.
