This page will help you to
choose which image best suits your needs.</p><p>There are three types of installation media:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Classical installer:</strong></span> 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.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>LIVE media:</strong></span> 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.</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>The Live Installer is simpler compared to the Classical
Installer - but you have fewer configuration options.</p></div><div class="important" title="Important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Important</h3><p>Live ISOs can only be used to create <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">clean</span>”</span>
installations, they cannot be used to upgrade previously installed
Mageia releases.</p></div></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Net Install</strong></span>: These are minimal
ISO's containing no more than that which is needed to start the DrakX
installer and find <code class="literal">DrakX-installer-stage2</code> 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.</p><p>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.</p></li></ul></div><p>More details are given in the next sections.</p></div><div class="section" title="Media"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d4e40"><!----></a>Media</h3></div></div></div><div class="section" title="Definition"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="d4e42"><!----></a>Definition</h4></div></div></div><p>Here, a medium (plural: media) is an ISO image file that allows

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.</p><p>To generate the checksum for your downloaded ISO, open a console,
(no need to be root), and:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>To use the md5sum, type: <span class="command"><strong>md5sum

the ISO checksum provided by Mageia.</p></div></div><div class="section" title="Burn or dump the ISO"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d4e167"><!----></a>Burn or dump the ISO</h3></div></div></div><p>The verified ISO can now be burned to a CD/DVD or

USB stick and then use that to boot and install the system.</p><div class="warning" title="Warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>Dumping an image onto a flash device destroys any previous
file-system on the device and all existing data will be lost.</p></div><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>Also, the only partition on the flash device will then just be
the Mageia ISO partition.</p><p>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.</p></div><div class="section" title="Using a graphical tool within Mageia"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a id="d4e186"><!----></a>Using a graphical tool within Mageia</h5></div></div></div><p>You can use a graphical tool like <a class="link" href="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/IsoDumper_Writing_ISO_images_on_USB_sticks" target="_top">IsoDumper</a></p></div><div class="section" title="Using a graphical tool within Windows"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a id="d4e190"><!----></a>Using a graphical tool within Windows</h5></div></div></div><p>You could try:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><a class="link" href="http://rufus.akeo.ie/?locale=en_US" target="_top">Rufus</a> using
