[Mageia-discuss] how to install new software with old system

[e-letter]

Readers,

I have only recently heard of mageia. I had problems with mandriva2010
(lack of dvorak keyboard, wireless) and so reverted to version2008.

Is it possible to install new mageia software with mandriva2008. For
example, unable to play mp4/aac encoded radio streams using
mplayer101rc1206. Is it possible to obtain an rpm file for a new
version that will also install all the necessary extra files
automatically?
