- - - Select and use ISOs - -
- Introduction - Mageia is distributed via ISO images. This page will help you to - choose which image match your needs. - There is two families of media: - - - Classical installer: After booting the media, it will follow a - process allowing to choose what to install and how to configure your - target system. This give you the maximal flexibility for a customized - installation, in particular to choose which Desktop Environment you - will install. - - - LIVE media: you can boot the media in a real Mageia system - without installing it, to see what you will get after installation. - The installation process is simpler, but you get lesser - choices. - - - Details are given in the next sections. -
-
- Media -
- Definition - Here, a medium (plural: media) is an ISO image file that allows - you to install and/or update Mageia and by extension any physical - support the ISO file is copied to. - You can find them here. -
-
- Classical installation media -
- Common features - - - These ISOs use the traditional installer called - drakx. - - - They are able to make a clean install or an update from - previous releases. - - - Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures. - - - Some tools are available in the Welcome screen: Rescue - System, Memory Test, Hardware Detection Tool. - - - Each DVD contains many available desktop environments and - languages. - - - You'll be given the choice during the installation to add - non free software. - - -
-
-
- Live media -
- Common features - - - Can be used to preview the distribution without installing - it on a HDD, and optionally install Mageia on to your HDD. - - - Each ISO contains only one desktop environment (Plasma, - GNOME or Xfce). - - - Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures. - - - Live ISOs can only be used to create - clean installations, they cannot be used to upgrade from previous - releases. - - - They contain non free software. - - -
-
- Live DVD Plasma - - - Plasma desktop environment only. - - - All languages are present. - - - 64 bit architecture only. - - -
-
- Live DVD GNOME - - - GNOME desktop environment only. - - - All languages are present. - - - 64 bit architecture only - - -
-
- Live DVD Xfce - - - Xfce desktop environment only. - - - All languages are present. - - - 32 or 64 bit architectures. - - -
-
-
- Boot-only CD media -
- Common features - - - Each one is a small image that contains no more than that - which is needed to start the drakx installer and find - drakx-installer-stage2 and other packages that are needed to - continue and complete the install. These packages may be on the PC - hard disk, on a local drive, on a local network or on the - Internet. - - - These media are very light (less than 100 MB) and are - convenient when bandwidth is too low to download a full DVD, a PC - without a DVD drive or a PC that can't boot from a USB - stick. - - - Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures. - - - English language only. - - -
-
- netinstall.iso - - - Contains only free software, for those people who prefer not to use non-free software. - - -
-
- netinstall-nonfree.iso - - - Contains non-free software (mostly drivers, codecs...) for - people who need it. - - -
-
-
-
- Downloading and Checking Media -
- Downloading - Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it using either http or BitTorrent. In both cases, a window gives you some information, such as the mirror in use and an opportunity to change if the bandwidth is to low. If http is chosen, you may also see something like - - - - - - md5sum and sha1sum are tools to check the ISO integrity. Use only - one of them. Keep one of them for further - usage. Then a window similar to this one appears: - - - - - - Check the radio button Save File. -
-
- Checking the integrity of the downloaded media - Both checksums are hexadecimal numbers calculated by an algorithm - from the file to be downloaded. When you ask these algorithms to - recalculate this number from your downloaded file, either you have the - same number and your downloaded file is correct, or the number is - different and you have a failure. A failure infers that you should retry - the download or attempt a repair using BitTorrent. - Open a console, no need to be root, and: - - To use md5sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ md5sum - path/to/the/image/file.iso. - - To use sha1sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ sha1sum - path/to/the/image/file.iso. - and compare the obtained number on your computer (you may have to - wait for a while) with the number given by Mageia. Example: - - - - - - -
-
-
- Burn or dump the ISO - The checked ISO can now be burned to a CD or DVD or dumped to a USB - stick. These operations are not a simple copy and aim to make a bootable - medium. -
- Burning the ISO to a CD/DVD - Use whatever burner you wish but ensure the burning device is set - correctly to burn an image, burn data - or files is not correct. There is more information in the - Mageia wiki. -
-
- Dump the ISO to a USB stick - All Mageia ISOs are hybrids, which means you can 'dump' them to a - USB stick and then use it to boot and install the system. - - "Dumping" an image onto a flash device destroys any previous - file-system on the device; any other data will be lost and the - partition capacity will be reduced to the image size. - - To recover the original capacity, you must redo partitioning and - re-format the USB stick. -
- Using a graphical tool within Mageia - You can use a graphical tool like IsoDumper -
-
- Using a graphical tool within Windows - You could try: - - Rufus using the - "ISO image" option; - - Win32 Disk - Imager -
-
- Using Command line within a GNU/Linux system - - It is potentially *dangerous* to do this by hand. You risk to - overwrite a disc partition if you get the device-ID wrong. - - You can also use the dd tool in a console: - - - Open a console - - - Become root with the command su - - (don't forget the final '-' ) - - - - - - - - Plug in your USB stick (do not mount it, this also means do - not open any application or file manager that could access or read - it) - - - Enter the command fdisk -l - - - - - - Alternatively, you can get the device name with the command - dmesg: at end, you see the device name starting with - sd, and sdd in this - case: - [72594.604531] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 27 using xhci_hcd -[72594.770528] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=8564, idProduct=1000 -[72594.770533] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 -[72594.770536] usb 1-1: Product: Mass Storage Device -[72594.770537] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: JetFlash -[72594.770539] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 18MJTWLMPUCC3SSB -[72594.770713] usb 1-1: ep 0x81 - rounding interval to 128 microframes, ep desc says 255 microframes -[72594.770719] usb 1-1: ep 0x2 - rounding interval to 128 microframes, ep desc says 255 microframes -[72594.771122] usb-storage 1-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected -[72594.772447] scsi host8: usb-storage 1-1:1.0 -[72595.963238] scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access JetFlash Transcend 2GB 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 -[72595.963626] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] 4194304 512-byte logical blocks: (2.14 GB/2.00 GiB) -[72595.964104] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off -[72595.964108] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 -[72595.965025] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] No Caching mode page found -[72595.965031] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through -[72595.967251] sdd: sdd1 -[72595.969446] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk - - - Find the device name for your USB stick (by its size), for - example /dev/sdb in the screenshot above, it is a 8GB - USB stick. - - - Enter the command: # dd if=path/to/the/ISO/file - of=/dev/sdX bs=1M - Where X=your device name eg: /dev/sdc - Example: # dd if=/home/user/Downloads/Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M - - - Enter the command: # sync - - - Unplug your USB stick, it is done - - -

- - User and Superuser Management - - - - - - - - - - -
- - Set Administrator (root) - Password: - - It is advisable for all Mageia - installations to set a superuser or administrator's password, usually - called the root password in Linux.

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 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".

The partition - must be "clean", meaning that Windows must have closed down correctly - the last time it was used. It must also have been defragmented, - although this is not a guarantee that all files in the partition have - been moved out of the area that is about to be used. It is highly - recommended to back up your personal files.With this option, the installer displays the remaining Windows - partition in light blue and the future Mageia partition in dark blue - with their intended sizes just under.

- Installation Problems and Possible Solutions - -
- No Graphical Interface - - - - After the initial screen you did not reach the language - selection screen. This can happen with some graphic cards and older - systems. Try using low resolution by typing vgalo at - the prompt. - - - - 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. - - -
- -
- The Install Freezes - - 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 noauto at the prompt. This option may also be combined - with other options as necessary. -
- -
- RAM problem - - 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 mem=xxxM parameter, where xxx is the correct amount - of RAM. e.g. mem=256M would specify 256MB of RAM. -
- -
- Dynamic partitions - - If you converted your hard disk from "basic" format to "dynamic" - format on Microsoft Windows, you must know that it is impossible to - install Mageia on this disc. To go back to a basic disk, see the - Microsoft documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776315.aspx. -
