    <!-- Made by Lebarhon 2014 03 26 

Lebarhon updated for Mageia 6 2016 12 16 (still waiting for clarification about 1.3.2-->
<!--2018/02/07 apb: Text and typography.-->
<!--2018/02/17 apb: Typo-->
<!--2018/02/19 apb: Update Download.png to Mga6.-->
<!--2018/02/20 apb: Adjusted sections 1.1 and 1.2.
  a) The main intro previously stated that there were 2 families of media, but listed at 1.2.4 is NetInstall. Therefore, I included a NetInstall entry in 1.1.
  b) Logically followed to move the NetInstall description up frome 1.2.4 to the main intro.
  c) Moved the 'Important' text from Live 1.2.3.1 Common features to the main intro because it is not really part of 'Common features', and I think its more natural location is in the main intro.-->
<!--2018/02/25 apb: Centre-align all PNG's.-->
<!--2019/01/03 apb: Update checking.png (which also includes sha512 option). Some rewording to 1.2.4.2, 1.3.1, 1.4.2.3.5. Update text to include sha512 option in 1.3.1 & 1.3.2-->

    <para>Mageia is distributed via ISO images. This page will help you to choose
which image best suits your needs.</para>
    <para>There are three types of installation media:</para>
    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">Classical installer:</emphasis> Booting with this
media provides you with the maximum flexibility when choosing what to
install, and for configuring your system. In particular, you have a choice
of which Desktop environment to install.</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">LIVE media:</emphasis> This option allows you to try
out Mageia without having to actually install it, or make any changes to
your computer. However, the Live media also includes an Installer, which can
be started when booting the media, or after booting into the Live operating
system itself.</para>
        <note>
          <para>The Live Installer is simpler compared to the Classical Installer - but you
have fewer configuration options.</para>
        </note>
        <important>
          <para>Live ISOs can only be used to create <quote>clean</quote> installations,
they cannot be used to upgrade previously installed Mageia releases.</para>
        </important>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">Net Install</emphasis>: These are minimal ISO's
containing no more than that which is needed to start the DrakX installer
and find <literal>DrakX-installer-stage2</literal> 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.</para>
        <para>These media are very light (less than 100 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 is unable to boot from a USB stick.</para>

      <para>Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it using either http or
BitTorrent. In both cases, you are provided with some information, such as
the mirror in use and an option to switch to an alternative if the bandwidth
is too low.</para>
      <para>If http is chosen you will also see some information regarding checksums.</para>

      <para><literal>md5sum</literal>, <literal>sha1sum</literal> and
<literal>sha512sum</literal> (the most secure) are tools to check the ISO
integrity. Copy one of the checksums (string of alphanumeric characters) for

      <para>The checksums referred to earlier, are digital fingerprints generated by an
algorithm from the file to be downloaded. You may compare the checksum of
your downloaded ISO against that of the original source ISO. If the
checksums do not match, it means that the actual data on the ISO's do not
match, and if that is the case, then you should retry the download or
attempt a repair using BitTorrent.</para>
      <para>To generate the checksum for your downloaded ISO, open a console, (no need
to be root), and:</para>

    <para>The verified ISO can now be burned to a CD/DVD or <quote>dumped</quote> to a

    <section>
      <title>ISOa CD/DVDan grabatzen</title>
      <para>Whichever software you use, ensure that the option to burn an<emphasis>
image</emphasis> is used. Burn <emphasis>data</emphasis> or
<emphasis>files</emphasis> is NOT correct. See the <link

wiki</link> for more information.</para>
    </section>
    <section>
      <title>Irauli ISOa USB baten</title>
      <para>All Mageia ISOs are hybrids, which means you can dump them to a USB stick
and then use that to boot and install the system.</para>
      <warning>
        <para>Dumping an image onto a flash device destroys any previous file-system on
the device and all existing data will be lost.</para>
      </warning>
      <note>
        <para>Also, the only partition on the flash device will then just be the Mageia
ISO partition.</para>
        <para>So, if an ISO of about 4GB is written to an 8GB USB stick, the stick will
then only show up as 4GB. This is because the remaining 4GB is no longer
formatted - hence not currently available for use. To recover the original
capacity, you must reformat and repartition the USB stick.</para>
