Install or Upgrade
Install
Use this option to perform a fresh installation of Mageia. This
will format the root partition
(/), but can preserve a pre-existing
/home partition (a dedicated /home partition, rather than being incorporated within the root (/) partition itself).
Upgrade
Use this option to upgrade an existing installation of
Mageia.
Only upgrading from a previous Mageia version that was
still supported when this Installer's version was
released, has been thoroughly tested. If you want to upgrade a Mageia
version that has reached its End Of Life
then it is better
to do a clean
install instead, while preserving your
/home partition.
If you have discovered that you forgot to select an additional
language, you can return from the Install or Upgrade
screen to the language choice screen by pressing
Ctrl
Alt
Home
. Do NOT do this later in
the install.
