+ + Boot Mageia as Live system + + +
+ + Booting the medium + + +
+ + From a disc + + + You 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 device + + + You 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 mode + + + + + + + + + First screen while booting in BIOS mode + + + + In 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. Choice between text, 640x400, 800x600, + 1024x728 + + + + F4 - 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 mode + + + + + + + + + First screen while booting on UEFI system from disk + + + + You have only the choice to run Mageia in Live mode (first choice) + or to process the installation (second choice). + If you booted form a USB stick, you get wo 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. +
