The download pages - http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/mandrivaone and http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/free - are currently down. We're sorry. You can get the ISOs from any mirror in the /official/iso/2007.1 directory. List of mirrors is here: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/CookerMirrors

Man, I need to shoot whoever keeps putting 'trial' in there.
No. It's a full, fully functional distribution. It doesn't expire, it's not crippled in any way. The only real difference with the commercial editions is they include some commercial software. There are a lot of people out there who use Free as their OS of choice.
And, well, excuse us for trying to make a living, but we do need to eat.

Yes, the Free version is not crippled or trial in any way. I use "free" and it works extremely well on my hardware. A very polished release and perhaps the best and most stable release they ever made (and I have tested lots(!) of their releases over the years). Two thumbs up from my side.
2007.1 lives now happily next to my RHEL/Startcom system.

Go ahead and visit http://www.happyassassin.net/
that's running on 2007.1 Free.
Apache is, of course, in the public repositories. *Every* free / open source package in Mandriva is in the public repositories. This has always been the case whatever we happened to be called at the time. There have always been commercial and free editions of Mandriva / Mandrake, and the difference has always been just that the commercial editions come with manuals, support and commercial packages, and include more of the free packages on the discs (but the rest are always available from the public mirrors). I don't understand where you're drawing any kind of distinction between Mandrake and Mandriva. There was absolutely no change in this regard.

(etc)
adding public Internet repositories to an install is very easy and documented here: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_removin...
I don't see where I'm whining about anything. On the page in question you can download a complete, fully functional operating system for the huge price of *nothing*. In return you have to suffer the agony of seeing an advert for a service. We're very sorry for your pain.

In Mandriva One, you will find proprietary drivers (graphic cards, wifi)
In mandriva free, if you want proprietary drivers (eg: ati or nvidia) you may simply add the new media source : non-free available for everyone (free of charge)
there is still software for club members only : like Adobe reader (you'll have to install it manually if you want it without giving money)

I remember the last Mandriva One release has been splited
into (live) CDs of different languages. But this time I see one one CD, it is English only?
(Because I am Chinese, without the Input Method Editor, the live CD (I only use Mandrive One as a live CD)is somehow useless.

In the public ftp mirrors you may find the mini iso in two flavours:
i586:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.com/MandrivaLinux/official/...
x86-64:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.com/MandrivaLinux/official/...
regards,
glyj
note: if the mirror is overloaded, try an other one. You'll find a list on the mandriva website.

CDs iso will soon be added.
There is a poll now in the forum to ask if a x86_64 is necessary or not...

Use http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and follow instructions to add PLF-Free and PLF-NonFree and Official Non-Free repos! If you do this you won't need automatix because everything you might want will be in rpmdrake.

it's in the release notes.
The printers aren't configured during installation any more. You have to do it afterwards.

Thanks. But aren't they just saying that it doesn't launch a printer config wizard during installation? That's fine with me, but the problem I'm reporting is that printing capabilities do not seem to exist on MDV 2007.1 KDE One. Once the desktop loads, it automatically says "Installing packages" then pops up some warning message that CUPS can not be installed. Then when I go to configure a printer in the control center, the config utility just hangs.

After downlaoding the free version via bittorrent, which was pretty slow, I ended up with a non iso9660 file according to K3B, but I could burn it with k3b, and the checksum was ok, but it in the end it does not boot at all, not in Qemu too. I do not know how to mount the dvd. What filessytem is this iso, I don't know.
I think I'll switch to the new Kubuntu which is coming soon.
