<!--barjac 2012-04-11 - corrected link to Welcome screen and unmangled header -
seems to be corrupted by xxe addon when saving -->
<!-- JohnR - apparent corruption is caused by the positioning of this comment block
- corrected Lebarhon : I put [] where it seems having mistakes -->

</info>
<para>Whether you are new to GNU-Linux or an experienced user, the Mageia
Installer is designed to help make your installation or upgrade as easy as
possible.</para>
<!-- <para>
If you have peripherals like printers or scanners, it is [best] to
connect them and make sure they are powered up during installation. These
will be automatically detected and configured.</para> -->
<para>The initial menu screen has various options, however the default one will
start the installer, which will normally be all that you will need.</para>

special installation options, see <xref

<title xml:id="installationSteps-ti1">The installation steps</title>
</info>
<para>The install process is divided into a number of steps, which can be followed
on the side panel of the screen.</para>
<para>Each step has one or more screens which may also have
<guibutton>Advanced</guibutton> buttons with extra, less commonly required,
options.</para>
<para>Most screens have <guibutton>Help</guibutton> buttons which give further
explanations about the current step.</para>
<note>
<para>If somewhere during install you decide to stop the installation, it is
possible to reboot, but please think twice before you do this. Once a
partition has been formatted or updates have started to be installed, your
computer is no longer in the same state and rebooting it could very well
leave you with an unusable system. If in spite of this you are very sure
rebooting is what you want, go to a text terminal by pressing the three keys
<guibutton>Alt Ctrl F2</guibutton> at the same time. After that, press
<guibutton>Alt Ctrl Delete</guibutton> simultaneously to reboot.</para>

low resolution by typing <code>vgalo</code> at the prompt.</para>

<para revision="2">If the hardware is very old, a graphical installation may not be
possible. In this case it is worth trying a text mode installation. To use
this hit ESC at the first welcome screen and confirm with ENTER. You will be
presented with a black screen with the word "boot:". Type "text" and hit
ENTER. Now continue with the installation in text mode.<emphasis></emphasis></para>

<para>If the system appeared to freeze during the installation, this may be a
problem with hardware detection. In this case the automatic detection of
hardware may be bypassed and dealt with later. To try this, type
<code>noauto</code> at the prompt. This option may also be combined with
other options as necessary.</para>

<para>These will rarely be needed, but in some cases the hardware may report the
available RAM incorrectly. To specify this manually, you can use the
<code>mem=xxxM</code> parameter, where xxx is the correct amount of
RAM. e.g. <code>mem=256M</code> would specify 256MB of RAM.</para>
