+ <p>Whether you are new to GNU-Linux or an experienced user, the Mageia
+ installer is designed to help make your installation or upgrade as easy as
+ possible.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>If you have peripherals like printers or scanners, it is best to
+ connect them and make sure they are powered up during installation. These
+ will be automatically detected and configured.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>The initial menu screen has various options, however the default one
+ will start the installer, which will normally be all that you will
+ need.
+ </p>
+
+
+
+
+ <p>If there are problems during install, then it may be necessary to use
+ special installation options, see <a class="xref" href="installer.html#installationOptions" title="Installation options">the section called &#8220;Installation options&#8221;</a>.

+ </div>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+
+
+ <p>The install process is divided into a series of steps, which can be
+ followed on the side panel of the screen.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>Each step has one or more screens which may also have
+ <span class="guibutton">Advanced</span> buttons with extra, less commonly
+ required, options.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>Most screens have <span class="guibutton">help</span> buttons which give
+ further explanations about the current step.
