Deprecated - Introduction to the MandrakeSecurity - Installer - - - - - DrakX DrakX is - Mandrakesecurity's installation program. Its ease of use - has been enhanced with a graphical user interface, allowing you to - move forward and backward through the installation and prompting - you when required. With DrakX, it doesn't matter whether - you're a new user to Mandrakesecurity or an old pro – - DrakX's job is to give you a smooth installation and an - easy transition into Mandrakesecurity. - - -
Very First Installation Welcome Screen - - - - - - -
- - When you begin, the first screen - that comes up will present some information and give you - installation options. (). Doing - nothing will simply begin the installation in normal or - linux mode. The next few paragraphs will go over - some options and parameters that you can pass to the install - program if you run into problems. - - Pressing -F1 will open a help screen. Here are some useful -options to choose from: - - - - - vgalo: installation - optionsvgalo if - you tried a default installation and did not see the graphical - interface as shown below in , you can try to run the - installation in low resolution mode. This happens with certain - types of graphics cards, so with Mandrakesecurity we - give you a number of options to work around problems with older - hardware. To try the installation in low resolution mode, type - vgalo at the prompt. - - - text: installation - optionstext if - your video card is very old and graphical installation does - not work at all, you can always choose the text mode - installation. Because all video cards can display text, this - is the installation of last resort. Don't worry - though – it's not likely that you'll need to use the - text install. - - - expert: installation - optionsexpert - installation - options linuxin - some rare cases, your PC may appear to freeze or lock-up during - the hardware detection phase. If that happens, then adding the - word expert as a parameter will tell the - install program to bypass hardware detection. Because - DrakX will not scan for hardware, you will need to - manually specify hardware parameters later in the installation. - The expert parameter can be added to the - previous modes, so you may end up specifying - -boot: vgalo expert - -to perform a low resolution graphical install without DrakX - performing a hardware scan. - - Selecting the expert - mode will ask you for more details about the installation - process, letting you perform a more customized - installation. - - - - kernel options: - installation - optionskernel - optionsKernel options usually aren't - required for most machines. There are a few cases of - motherboards incorrectly reporting the amount of memory - installed due to bugs in the design or in the BIOS. If you - need to manually specify the amount of DRAM installed in your - PC, use the - commands mem= xxxM - mem= xxxM parameter. For - example, to start the installation in normal mode with a - computer having 256 MB of memory, your command line - would look like this: - -boot: linux mem=256M - - - - Now that we've gone over what - might go wrong, let's move on to the actual - installation process. When the installer starts, you'll see a - nice graphical interface ( - ). On the left will be the various installation steps. Depending - on the installation's progress level, some stages may or may not - be available. If a particular stage is available it will be - highlighted when you move the mouse pointer over it. - - The colors of the buttons on the left side of - the screen let you quickly see what's going on with the - installation: - - - - red: this installation phase has not yet been - carried out - - - orange: the installation stage that - is currently being processed - - - green: this installation stage has - already been configured. However, nothing stops you from going - back to a stage that has already been completed if you need to - reconfigure something. - - - - This guide assumes that you -are performing a standard, step-by-step installation, as described -below. - - -
- - -
Choosing Your Language - - - The first step is to choose your preferred - language. - -
Choosing the Default Language - - - - - - -
- - language Your - choice of preferred language will affect the language of the - documentation, the installer and the system in general. - - Clicking on the - Advanced button will allow you to select - other languages to be installed on your workstation, thereby - installing the language-specific files for system documentation - and applications. For example, if you will host users from Spain - on your machine, select English as the default language in the - tree view and Spanish|Spain in the Advanced - section. - - Note that you're not limited to choosing a - single additional language. Once you have selected additional - locales, click the OK button to - continue. - - - - language setting - Not all languages listed here are supported in - the Mandrakesecurity Web interface. - - -
- - -
License Terms of the Distribution - - - - - - - - - licenseBefore - continuing, you should carefully read the terms of the license. It - covers the entire Mandrakesecurity distribution, and if you - do not agree with all the terms in it you should click on the - Refuse button. This will immediately - terminate the installation. Clicking on the - Accept button will continue the - installation. - -
- - - -
Disk Detection and Configuration - - - - - - - - - DrakX will first detect any - IDEdetection - IDE devices present in your computer. It - will also scan for one or more PCI SCSI - SCSI PCI SCSI - cards on your system. If a SCSI card is found, DrakX will - automatically install the appropriate driver. - - Because hardware detection is not foolproof, - DrakX will ask you if you have a PCI SCSI - installed. Clicking Yes will display a - list of SCSI cards to choose from. Click No - if you know that you have no SCSI hardware in your machine. If - you're not sure, you can check the list of hardware detected in - your machine by selecting See hardware info - and clicking the OK. Examine the list of - hardware and then click on the OK button to - return to the SCSI interface question. - - If you had to manually specify your PCI SCSI - adapter, DrakX will ask if you want to configure options - for it. You should allow DrakX to probe the hardware for - the card-specific options which are needed to initialize the - adapter. Most of the time, DrakX will get through this step - without any issues. - - If DrakX is not able to - probe for the options to automatically determine which parameters - need to be passed to the hardware, you'll need to manually - configure the driver. - - - hard disk - detection - - - -
- -
Configuring your Mouse - - - - - - - - - - mouse - Usually, DrakX has no problems detecting the number of - buttons on your mouse. If it does, it assumes you have a - two-button mouse and will configure it for third-button - emulation. The third-button mouse button of a two-button mouse - can be pressed by simultaneously clicking the - left and right mouse buttons. DrakX will automatically - know whether your mouse uses a PS/2, serial or USB - interface. - - If for some reason you wish to specify a - different type of mouse, select it from the provided list. - - If you choose a mouse other - than the default, a test screen will be displayed. Use the buttons - and wheel to verify that the settings are correct and that the - mouse is working correctly. If the mouse is not working well, - press the space bar or Return key to - Cancel the test and to go back to the list - of choices. - - - mouse - wheel Wheel mice are - occasionally not detected automatically, so you will need to - select your mouse from a list. Be sure to select the one - corresponding to the port that your mouse is attached to. - After selecting a mouse and pressing the - OK button, a mouse image is displayed - on-screen. Scroll the mouse wheel to ensure that it is - activated correctly. Once you see the on-screen scroll wheel - moving as you scroll your mouse wheel, test the buttons and - check that the mouse pointer moves on-screen as you move - your mouse. - - -
- -
Configuring the Keyboard - - - - - - - - - - - keyboardDepending on the default - language you chose in , - DrakX will automatically select a particular type of - keyboard configuration. However, you might not have a keyboard - that corresponds exactly to your language: for example, if you - are an English speaking Swiss person, you may have a Swiss - keyboard. Or if you speak English but are located in Québec, you - may find yourself in the same situation where your native - language and keyboard do not match. In either case, this - installation step will allow you to select an appropriate - keyboard from a list. - - Click on the More button to be presented with the - complete list of supported keyboards. - -
- - -
Selecting the Mount Points - - - - - - - - - - mount - pointsAt this point, you need to decide where - you want to install the Mandrakesecurity operating system on - your hard drive. If your hard drive is empty or if an existing - operating system is using all the available space you will have to - partition the drive. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists - of logically dividing it to create the space needed to install your - new Mandrakesecurity system. - - Because the process of - partitioning a hard drive is usually irreversible and can lead to - lost data if there is an existing operating system already - installed on the drive, partitioning can be intimidating and - stressful if you are an inexperienced user. Fortunately, - DrakX includes a wizard which simplifies this - process. Before continuing with this step, read through the rest - of this section and above all, take your time. - - - - If your hard drive has already been - partitioned, either from a previous installation of GNU/Linux or - by another partitioning tool, select the appropriate partitions - that you want to install your Linux system into. - - If partitions haven't been configured, you - will need to create them using the wizard. Depending on your hard - drive configuration, several options are available: - - Use free space: - this option will perform an automatic partitioning of your - blank drive(s). If you use this option there will be no - further prompts. - - Use existing - partition: the wizard has detected one or more - existing Linux partitions on your hard drive. If you want to use - them, choose this option. You will then be asked to choose the - mount points associated with each of the partitions. The legacy - mount points are selected by default, and for the most part it's - a good idea to keep them. - - - Use the - free space on the Windows partition: if - Microsoft® - Windows®© is installed on - your hard drive and takes all the space available on it, you - have to create free space for Linux data. To do so, you can - delete your Microsoft Windows® partition and data - (see Erase entire disk or Expert - mode solutions) or resize your Microsoft - Windows® FAT partition. Resizing can be performed without - the loss of any data, provided you previously - defragment the Windows® partition and that it uses the FAT - format. Backing up your data is strongly - recommended.. Using this option is recommended if you - want to use both Mandrakesecurity and Microsoft - Windows® on the same computer. - - Before choosing this option, please - understand that after this procedure, the size of your - Microsoft Windows® partition will be smaller - then when you started. You will have less free space under - Microsoft Windows® to store your data or to - install new software. - - - Erase entire - disk: if you want to delete all data and all - partitions present on your hard drive and replace them with - your new Mandrakesecurity system, choose this - option. Be careful, because you will not be able to undo - your choice after you confirm. - - If you choose this option, - all data on your disk will be deleted. - - - - Remove Windows: - this will simply erase everything on the drive and begin fresh, - partitioning everything from scratch. All - data on your disk will be lost. - - If you choose this option, - all data on your disk will be lost. - - - - partitions - manual formatting - - partitioning DiskDrake - Custom disk partitioning: choose - this option if you want to manually partition your hard - drive. Be careful –– it is a powerful - but dangerous choice and you can very easily lose all - your data. That's why this option is really only - recommended if you have done something like this before - and have some experience. For more instructions on how - to use the DiskDrake utility, refer to the online - documentation for - DiskDrake. - - - -
- -
Choose Partitions to Be Formatted - - - - - - - - - - - partitions - formattingAny partitions - that have been newly defined must be formatted for use - (formatting means creating a file system). - - At this time, you may wish to reformat some -already existing partitions to erase any data they contain. If you -wish to do that, please select those partitions as well. - - Please note that it is not necessary to - reformat all partitions - pre-existingpre-existing - partitions. You must reformat the partitions containing the - operating system (such as /, - /usr or /var) but you do not - have to reformat partitions containing data that you wish to keep - (typically /home). - - Please be careful when selecting - partitions. After formatting, all data on the selected partitions - will be deleted and you will not be able to recover it. - - Click on OK when you - are ready to format partitions. - - Click on Cancel if -you want to choose another partition for your new Mandrakesecurity -operating system installation. - - Click on Advanced if - you wish to select partitions that will be checked for partitionsbad - blocksbad blocks on the disk. - -
- - -
Actual Packages Installation - - - Then comes the actual system - installation. The packages list is predefined and cannot be - changed at this time. The time required to complete the - installation depends on the speed of your hardware. An estimate of - the remaining time-to-go will be displayed on-screen to help gauge - if there is sufficient time to enjoy a cup of coffee. - -
- -
Root Password - - - - - - - - - - This is the most crucial decision point for - the security of your GNU/Linux system: you have to enter the - root - password password - root root - password. Root is the system administrator and - is the only one authorized to make updates, add users, change the - overall system configuration, and so on. In short, - root can do everything! That is why you must - choose a password that is difficult to guess – DrakX - will tell you if the password that you chose is too easy. As you can - see, you are not forced to enter a password, but we strongly advise - you against. GNU/Linux is as prone to operator error as any other - operating system. Since root can overcome all - limitations and unintentionally erase all data on partitions by - carelessly accessing the partitions themselves, it is important - that it be difficult to become root. - - - The msec security - level is set to 4 (high) by - default. The password should be a mixture of alphanumeric - characters and must be at least 8 characters long. Never write down - the root password –– it makes - it too easy to compromise a system. - - - One caveat –– do not make - the password too long or complicated because you must be able to - remember it! - - The password will not be displayed on screen - as you type it in. To reduce the chance of a blind typing error - you will need to enter the password twice. If you do happen to - make the same typing error twice, this incorrect - password will have to be used the first time you connect. - -
- -
Administrator Password - - - You are then asked to enter the password - for the system administrator (login: admin). It - is differentiated from the root user, for security reasons, - and also because it may not be the same person. It is that - admin account that will be required to access - the Mandrakesecurity Web interface. The criterion for - choosing this password are the same as for the root - password. - -
- -
Adding a User - - - - - - - - - - All necessary users have - already been added, and you shouldn't need adding more users for - normal Mandrakesecurity operations. However, if you plan to - use the squid PAM - authentication feature, you can add here the users that will be - authorized. - - The first field asks you for a real name. Of - course, this is not mandatory –– you can actually - enter whatever you like. DrakX will use the first word you - typed in and copy it to the User name field, - which is the name this user will enter to log onto the system. If - you like, you may override the default and change the - username. The next step is to enter a password. From a security - point of view, a non-privileged (regular) user password is not as - crucial as the root password, but that is no - reason to neglect it by making it blank or too simple: after all, - your files could be the ones at risk. - - You can then choose to make - that user member of one or more special groups that will give him - special priviledges. Check the button for the priviledges you want - for that user. - - Once you click on - Accept user, you can add additional - users. Select Done when you have finished - adding users. - - - Clicking the -Advanced button allows you to change the -default shell for that user -(bash by default). - - -
- -
Configure your Local Network - - - - - - - - - - You will now set up your local - network connection (LAN). - Mandrakesecurity will attempt to autodetect network devices - and modems. If this detection fails, uncheck the Use - auto detection box. - - - Even though many connection -types are offered here, do not configure your Internet connection -now. You should now limit yourself to configuring the -Ethernet LAN access, so that you -can later connect to the administration interface and configure other -connections easily through it. - - - We will not detail each configuration - option –  just make sure that you have all the - parameters, such as IP address, default gateway, DNS servers, - etc. from your Internet Service Provider or system - administrator. - - You will be able to - configure all your other network interfaces (Internet, - DMZ, etc.) later on through - Mandrakesecurity interface. - -
- - - -
Where Should You Place the Bootloader - - - - - - - - - - You must indicate where you wish to place the - information the bootloader requires to boot to GNU/Linux. - - Unless you know exactly what you are doing, - choose First sector of drive (MBR). - - You are then presented the - different boot entries that will be proposed at system boot. You - can modify them here. - -
- -
Boot Disk - - - - - - - - - - The Mandrakesecurity CD-ROM has a - built-in rescue mode. You can access it by booting the CD-ROM, - pressing the F1 key at boot and typing - rescue at the prompt. If your computer - cannot boot from the CD-ROM, there are at least two situations - where having a boot floppy is critical: - - - when installing the - bootloader - bootloader, DrakX will rewrite the boot - sector ( - MBRMBR) of - your main disk (unless you are using another boot manager), to - allow you to start up with either Windows® or GNU/Linux - (assuming you have Windows® on your system). If at some - point you need to reinstall Windows®, the - Microsoft install process will rewrite the boot - sector and remove your ability to start GNU/Linux! - - - if a problem arises and you cannot - start GNU/Linux from the hard disk, this boot - diskfloppy will be the only means of - starting up GNU/Linux. It contains a fair number of system - tools for restoring a system that has crashed due to a power - failure, an unfortunate typing error, a forgotten root - password, or any other reason. - - If you say Yes, you will - be asked to insert a disk in the drive. The floppy disk must be - blank or have non-critical data on it – DrakX will - format the floppy and will rewrite the whole disk. - - -
- -
Installing Updates from the Internet - - - - - - - - - At the time you are installing - Mandrakesecurity, it is likely that some packages have been - updated since the initial release. Bugs may have been fixed, - security issues resolved. To allow you to benefit from these - updates, you are now able to download them from the Internet. - Choose Yes if you have a working Internet - connection, or No if you prefer to install - updated packages later. - - Choosing Yes - displays a list of places from which updates can be - retrieved. Choose the one nearest you. A package-selection tree - will appear: review the selection, and press - Install to retrieve and install the - selected package(s), or Cancel to - abort. - - -
- -
It's Finished! - - - - - - - - - - boot - dual-bootThere you - are. Installation is now complete and your GNU/Linux system - is ready to use. Carefully write down the - URL given in that dialog, it's the address - you'll have to use in your Web browser to access the - Mandrakesecurity Web interface with - admin account. Now, just click - OK twice to reboot the system. - -
- - -
How to Uninstall Linux - - - The uninstallation process consists of two - steps: - - - - Delete all partitions on your hard drive -and replace them by a single FAT partition with -DiskDrake. - - - Uninstall the bootloader -uninstall bootloader (generally -GRUB) from the Master Boot Record (MBR). To do so, boot under -DOS and run the fdisk /mbr command. - - If you have another OS, please - consult its documentation to determine how to perform the same - step. - - - - Goodbye, and thank you for - using Mandrakesecurity! - -
