For the security parameters, have a look at this article :
<a href="http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/KB/SecureSmsec?interfacelanguage=en" title="mandriva.com">http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/KB/Secure<nobr>S<wbr></nobr> msec?interfacelanguage=en</a mandriva.com>

It's hard to describe all these security parameters to newbies : you'd need to copy/paste this whole page to the installer.

By design, mdkonline can only work if your package list is sent over the web. But you're right : it is being redesigned.

Graphic card is already auto-detected.

Menu entries in KDE have a fixed order whatever language you choose, which is better than sorting it alphabetically. You get used to it rather easily.

Final note : the version tested here is "discovery" which is aimed at beginners (mostly coming from windows). That's why you don't expect to have a full description of security parameters and why the terminal is more or less hidden. The color theme is blue in all other editions, but all themes are installed by default : you can switch rather easily from orange to blue or dark blue.
