Do you have bandwidth enough to do a network install?
( = get the latest packages directly without updating )
http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/get/?q=Mageia-2-alpha3-Boot-i586-CD.iso

I did that on cauldron i586 sucessfully 2012-02-09 
Worked nicely dd .iso to USB stick, used wired ethernet. 

(OK there were problems, but not this, and it have updated OK several times 
since)
