<title>NetInstall Media</title>
<section>
<title>Descrizione</title>
<para>These minimal ISO's contain:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>less than 120 MB and are convenient if bandwidth is too low to download a
full DVD, or if you have a PC without a DVD drive or unable to boot from a
USB stick.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>no more than that which is needed to (a) start the <literal>DrakX</literal>
installer and (b) find <literal>DrakX-installer-stage2</literal> and other
packages that are needed to continue and complete the install.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The required source packages may be on a PC hard disk, a local drive, a
local network or on the Internet.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Availability</title>
<para>There are two versions of the NetInstall media:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">netinstall.iso</emphasis> For those who prefer not to
use non-free software, this ISO contains only free software.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">netinstall-nonfree.iso</emphasis> This ISO
additionally includes proprietary device drivers, which may be required for
your network device, disk controller, etc.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Both versions are available in the form of separate 32-bit and 64-bit
ISO's. See here: <link

</section>
<section>
<title>Preparazione</title>
<para>After downloading the image, burn it to a CD/DVD or, if you prefer to put it
on a USB stick, follow the instructions here: <link

<section>
<title>Installation Stages</title>
<para>The installation is carried out in two stages:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Stage 1</emphasis> This is the pre-Installation
stage. You will need to provide the method and details for accessing the
medium containing the files to be used for the installation. If the method
involves a server, then the network connection will be activated. This
network can be a WiFi connection with WEP or WPA2 encryption (though please
be mindful of the Warning below regarding keyboard input).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Stage 2</emphasis> This is the actual Installation
stage, which will automatically commence once a connection to the installer
files has been established.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<note>
<para>During Stage 1, nothing will be written to your Hard Disk, so it is safe to
quit at any point during Stage 1 if you wish. You can do so by pressing
<keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>Del</keycap></keycombo>.</para>
</note>
<tip>
<para>You can use <keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F3</keycap></keycombo> to
read the logs and
<keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo> to return to
the installer screen.</para>
</tip>
<warning>
<para>Unlike when installing from DVD or LiveCD, you will be asked to type things
during the first part of a Network installation (<emphasis role="bold">Stage
1</emphasis>). Throughout this stage, however, your keyboard will operate as
per an <link
xlink:href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#United_States">American
keyboard</link> layout. Please bear this in mind to avoid confusion when
entering things like names and paths etc.</para>
</warning>
