Boot Mageia as Live system
Booting the medium
From a discYou can boot directly from the media you used to burn your image - (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM...). You usually just need to insert it in your CD/DVD - drive for the bootloader to launch the installation automatically after - rebooting the computer. If that does not happen you may need to - reconfigure your BIOS or press one key that will offer you to choose the - peripheral from which the computer will boot.According to which hardware you have, and how it is configured, - you get either one or another of the two screens below.
From a USB deviceYou can boot from the USB device on which you dumped your image - ISO. According to your BIOS settings, the computer boots perhaps - directly on the USB device already plugged in a port. If that does not - happen you may need to reconfigure your BIOS or press one key that will - offer you to choose the peripheral from which the computer will - boot.
In BIOS/CSM/Legacy modeFirst screen while booting in BIOS modeIn the middle menu, you have the choice between three - actions:Boot Mageia: That means Mageia 5 will start from the connected - media (CD/DVD or USB stick) without writing anything on the disk, so - expect a very slow system. Once the boot is done, you can proceed to - the installation on a hard disk.Install Mageia: This choice will directly install Mageia on a - hard disk.Boot from hard disk: This choice allows to boot from hard disk, - as usual, when no media (CD/DVD or USB stick) is connected. (not - working with Mageia 5).In the bottom menu, are the Boot Options:F1 - Help. Explain the options "splash", "apm", "acpi" and - "Ide"F2 - Language. Choose the display language of the - screens.F3 - Screen resolution. Choose between text, 640x400, 800x600, - 1024x728F4 - CD-Rom. CD-Rom or Other. Normally, the installation is - performed from the inserted installation medium. Here, select other - sources, like FTP or NFS servers. If the installation is carried out - in a network with an SLP server, select one of the installation - sources available on the server with this option.F5 - Driver. Yes or No. The system is aware about the presence - of an optional disk with a driver update and will require its - insertion during installation process.F6 - Kernel options. This is a way to specify options according - to your hardware and the drivers to use.
In UEFI modeFirst screen while booting on UEFI system from diskYou have only the choice to run Mageia in Live mode (first choice) - or to process the installation (second choice).If you booted from a USB stick, you get two supplemental lines which - are a duplicata of the previous lines suffixed with "USB". You have to - choose them.In each case, the first steps will be the same to choose language, - timezone and keyboard, then the processes differ, with additional steps in Live mode.
