    DrakX, the Mageia installer +

    +
    +
    +
    + + + + +

    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. +

    + + +

    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. +

    + + +

    The initial menu screen has various options, however the default one + will start the installer, which will normally be all that you will + need. +

    + + + + +

    If there are problems during install, then it may be necessary to use + special installation options, see the section called “Installation options”. +

    + + +
    +
    +
    +
    +

    The installation steps +

    +
    +
    +
    + + + +

    The install process is divided into a series of steps, which can be + followed on the side panel of the screen. +

    + + +

    Each step has one or more screens which may also have + Advanced buttons with extra, less commonly + required, options. +

    + + +

    Most screens have help buttons which give + further explanations about the current step. +

    If the installation fails then it may be neccessary to try again by + using one of the extra options available by hitting the F1 key (Help) see + Figure 1, “Very First Installation Welcome + Screen”

    This will open the following text based help.

      After the initial screen you did not reach the language + selection screen. This can happen with some graphic cards and + older systems. Try using low resolution by typing "vgalo" at the + prompt. +

      + +
      • +
    • + +

      If the hardware is very old, a graphical installation may be + impossible. In this case it is worth trying a text mode + installation. To use this, type text at the prompt. + Note: this mode may not work in Mageia + 2.

    If the system appears 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 "noauto" at the prompt. This option may also be combined + with the previous options if necessary. +

    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 mem=xxxM parameter, where xxx is the correct amount of + RAM. e.g. "mem=256M" would specify 256MB of RAM. +
