Boot-somente, mídia CDs
características comuns Each one is a small image that contains no more than that which is needed to start the drakx installer and find the ISO file to continue and complete the install. These ISO files 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 Mo) and are convenient when bandwidth is too low to download a full DVD, PC without DVD drive or PC that can't boot on a USB stick. Different media for architecture 32 or 64 bits. Idioma Inglês apenas.
boot.iso Contains only free software, for people who refuse non free software.
boot-nonfree.iso Contains non free software (mostly drivers, codecs...) for people who need it.
Media downloading and checking
Downloading Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it either using http or BitTorrent. In both cases, a window give you some information, like the used mirror and the possibility to change if the bandwidth is to low. If http is chosen, you can also see something like md5sum and sha1sum are tools to check your ISO integrity. Use only one of them. Both hexadecimal numbers have been calculated by an algorithm from the file to be downloaded. If you ask this algorithm to calculate again 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 met a failure. Then this window appears: Check the radio button Save File.
Checking the downloaded media integrity 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 on a CD or DVD or dumped on a USB stick. These operations are not a simple copy and aim at make a boot-able media.
Burn the ISO on a CD/DVD Use whatever burner you want but ensure the burning device is set correctly to burn an image, burn data or files is not correct. More information in the Mageia wiki.
Dump the ISO on a USB stick All Mageia ISOs are hybrid, which means you can 'dump' them on a USB stick and use it to boot and install the system. "dumping" an image onto a flash device destroys any prior file-system in the partition; any data will be lost and partition capacity will be reduced to the image size. To recover the original capacity, you have to format the USB stick.
Using Mageia You can use a graphical tool like IsoDumper 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 your USB stick (do not mount it, that means do not open any application or file manager that read it) Enter the command fdisk -l Find the device name for your USB stick (by its size), for example /dev/sdb in the screenshot above, it is a 8Go USB stick. Enter the command: # dd if=path/to/the/ISO/file of=/dev/sdX bs=1M (x)=your device name eg: /dev/sdc Example: # dd if=/home/user/Downloads/Mageia-4-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M Enter the command: # sync Unplug your USB stick, it is done
Using Windows You can try: - Rufus - Win32 Disk Imager
