<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>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>From this first screen, it is possible to set some personal preferences:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul class="itemizedlist">
<li class="listitem">
<p>The language (for the installation only, may be different that the chosen
language for the system) by pressing the key F2
</p>
<p></p>
<p>Use the arrow keys to select the language and press the key Enter.</p>
<p>Here is for example, the French welcome screen when using a Live
DVD/CD. Note that the Live DVD/CD menu does not propose: <span class="guilabel">Rescue
System</span>, <span class="guilabel">Memory test</span> and <span class="guilabel">Hardware
Detection Tool</span>.
</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>Change the screen resolution by pressing the F3 key.</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>Add some kernel options by pressing the F6 key.</p>
<p>If the installation fails, then it may be necessary to try again using one
of the extra options. The menu called by F6 displays a new line called
<span class="guilabel">Boot options</span> and propose four entries:
</p>
<p>- Default, it doesn't alter anything in the default options.</p>
<p>- Safe Settings, priority is given to the safer options to the detriment of
performances.
</p>
<p>- No ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), power management
isn't taken into account.
</p>
<p>- No Local APIC (Local Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller), it is
about CPU interruptions, select this option if you are asked for.
</p>
<p>When you select one of these entries, it modifies the default options
displayed in the <span class="guilabel">Boot Options</span> line.
</p>
<div class="note" title="Opomba" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">

<p>In some Mageia releases, it may happen that the entries selected with the
key F6 does not appear in the <span class="guilabel">Boot Options</span> line,
however, they are really taken into account.

<p>Add more kernel options by pressing the key F1</p>
<p>Pressing F1 opens a new window with more available options. Select one with
the arrow keys and press Enter to have more details or press the Esc key to
go back to the welcome screen.

<p>The install process is divided into a number 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.

<p>If somewhere during install you decide to stop the installation, it is
possible to reboot, but please think twice before you do this. Once a
partition has been formatted or updates have started to be installed, your
computer is no longer in the same state and rebooting it could very well
leave you with an unusable system. If in spite of this you are very sure
rebooting is what you want, go to a text terminal by pressing the three keys
<span class="guibutton">Alt Ctrl F2</span> at the same time. After that, press
<span class="guibutton">Alt Ctrl Delete</span> simultaneously to reboot.

</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>If the hardware is very old, a graphical installation may not be
possible. In this case it is worth trying a text mode installation. To use
this hit ESC at the first welcome screen and confirm with ENTER. You will be
presented with a black screen with the word "boot:". Type "text" and hit
ENTER. Now continue with the installation in text mode.

<p>If the system appeared to freeze during the installation, this may be a
problem with hardware detection. In this case the automatic detection of
hardware may be bypassed and dealt with later. To try this, type
<code class="code">noauto</code> at the prompt. This option may also be combined with
other options as necessary.

<p>These will rarely be needed, but in some cases the hardware may report the
available RAM incorrectly. To specify this manually, you can use the
<code class="code">mem=xxxM</code> parameter, where xxx is the correct amount of
RAM. e.g. <code class="code">mem=256M</code> would specify 256MB of RAM.

this disc. To go back to a basic disk, see the Microsoft documentation:
