Ouch!! I've just tested the x86-64 GNOME Europe-America live CD, and it felt like going back to 2000. First it didn't try to recognize or configure my keyboard, so I ended up with an American layout on my AZERTY keyboard. Second it logged me into IceWM (!) and when I logged out didn't propose me anything else than either IceWM or drak3d. I know that GNOME 3 is "slimmer" and "more streamlined" but I didn't expect it to completely hide itself from the list of available desktops. (ah, and in the boot menu, it says "Mageia 1" instead of "Mageia 2") Gonna give a test to the i386 live CD, just in case it's usable... Regards Antoine.
