But don't waste your time - it is as useful as teats on a bull when it comes to even trying to run as a Live CD.
You don't get the usual GUI menu to select from when it starts up but get a command line menu (which take a bit of time to work out what it wants you to type in) and when you do get something to happen you get error messages,
I get something vaguely similar when installing via a CD or DVD on a machine with UEFI. Starts with elilo boot and almost always skips the first couple of pages and goes straight into installation. However, if I install from flash drive instead, I get no such trouble. This occurred with M3 and #358. Haven't bothered burning #369 to CD - just used flash drive.

Gets kernel panic after install when I boot. Kernal is 3.x so no patch was supposed to be need.
I also tried Mageia 32 bit beta 3. Installs fine, but boot hang at splash screen . This system I think has an intel graphics card on board. Wii play with it some more, post anything I find. Not sure if it is the machine or Install. All 32-bit live cd's fail on this system the same way. Any ideas will be appricated. Do not want to try on machine I'm on now as its my production stuff.
