Installing Mageia2 on a Dell D630
I was given this D630 with a locked bios disabling boot on usb key :/ so I had two options- PXE boot, well if it does not work I'll use it (I've already done it, needs some infrastructure)
- CD boot, well I try with a DVD-RW as I could not find 700 MB CD-RW, only 650 MB :/
I used http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-write-burn-data-to-dvd-or-dvdrw.html
- verify that dvd+rw-tools is installed
