The Mageia Installer -

-
-
-
- - - - - -

With the DrakX - installation program, it doesn't matter whether you're a newbie or - a GNU/Linux guru. The job of DrakX is to provide you with a - smooth installation and an easy transition to Mageia's - latest version. -

- - - - -
- - - - - - - - -
[Tip]Tip
- -

DrakX will work - best if all of your hardware is connected to your computer and - powered on during the installation. Printers, modems, scanners and - joysticks are just a few examples of peripherals which DrakX - can automatically detect and configure as Mageia is being - installed. -

- -
-
- - - - -

The first screen you see - offers to run the installation with special options if the standard - mode was not suited for your hardware. So to begin with, let the - installation start automatically with no options. If something goes - wrong, see the section called “Installation Options”. -

- - -
-
-
-
-

The Installation Process -

-
-
-
- - - -

When the installer - starts, you will see a nice graphical interface (see Figure 3, “Choosing the Default - Language”). On the left will be the various - installation steps. The installation will occur in two phases: - installation, then configuration. The list on the left displays - all the steps. The current step is marked by a highlighted - bullet. -

- - -

Each step may present - various screens. Surfing between those screens is made possible - through the Next and - Previous buttons. Additionally an - Advanced button may be available to show more - advanced configuration options. Note that most of the latter should - only be used by expert users. But there's no - harm in looking at them! -

- - -
- - - - - - - - -

The - Help button will display explanations - concerning the current installation step. -

Installation Options -

-
-
-
- - - -

If something goes wrong during - the first installation attempt, pressing F1 at the - welcome screen (see Figure 1, “Very First Installation Welcome - Screen”) will open a help - window (see Figure 2, “Available Installation Options”). Here are some useful options - to choose from: -

- - - - -
    -
  • - -

    vgalo: if you tried a default - installation and didn't see the graphical interface (see Figure 3, “Choosing the Default - Language”), you can try to run the - installation in low resolution mode. This happens with certain - types of video cards. With Mageia you are given a number - of options to work around problems related to older hardware. To - try the installation in low resolution mode, type - vgalo at the prompt. -

    - -
    • -
  • - -

    text: if your video card is very - old and the graphical installation doesn't work at all, you can - always choose to install in text mode. Since all video cards can - display text, this is the “last resort” kind of - installation. However don't worry: it's unlikely that you will - need this option. -

    - -
    • -
  • - - -

    noauto: in some rare cases, your - PC may appear to freeze or lock up during the hardware - detection phase. If that happens, adding the word - noauto as a parameter will tell the - installation program to bypass hardware detection. With that - option DrakX won't scan for hardware. Therefore you will - need to manually specify hardware parameters later in the - installation process. The noauto parameter can - be added to the previous modes, so depending on your hardware you - may have to specify vgalo noauto to - perform a low-resolution graphical installation without - DrakX performing a hardware scan. -

    - -

    kernel - options: most machines don't - require specific kernel options. Due to bugs in the design - or in the BIOS, there have been a few cases of - motherboards incorrectly reporting the amount of memory - installed. If you need to manually specify the amount of - RAM - installed in your PC, use the - mem=xxxM parameter. For example, to - start the installation in normal mode with a computer - containing 256 MB of memory, your command line - would look like linux - mem=256M

Root Password -

-
-
-
- - - - - - - - - - - -

This is the - most crucial decision point for the security of your GNU/Linux - system: you must enter the root password. - Root is the system administrator and is the - only user authorized to make updates, add users, change the - overall system configuration, and so on. In short, - root can do everything! That's why you must - choose a password which is difficult to guess: DrakX will - tell you if the password you chose is too simple. You're not - forced to enter a password, but we strongly - encourage you to do so. GNU/Linux is just as prone to operator - error as any other operating system. Since root - can overcome all limitations and unintentionally erase all data on - partitions by carelessly accessing the partitions themselves, it - is important that it be difficult to become - root. -

- - - - -

The password - should be a mixture of alphanumeric characters and at least 8 - characters long. Never write down root's - password — it makes it far too easy to compromise your - system. -

- - -

One caveat: don't make - the password too long or too complicated because you must be able to - remember it! -

- - - - -

The password - won't be displayed on screen as you type it. To reduce the chance of - a blind typing error you will need to enter the password twice. If - you do happen to make the same typing error twice, you will have to - use this “incorrect” password when you try to connect - as root, at least for the first time. -

- - - - - -

You can - change the way users are authenticated on your computer by clicking - on the Authentication method button. The - following authentication methods are available: -

- - - - -
-
    -
  • - -

    Local file. Use a local file for all - authentication and user information. This is the default - method. -

    - -
    • -
  • - -

    LDAP. Use an - LDAP server for some or all authentication - needs. An LDAP directory consolidates certain - types of information within your organization. -

    - -
    • -
  • - -

    NIS. Authenticates users against - a NIS domain. This allows you to run a group - of computers in the same NIS domain using a - common password and group file. -

    - -
    • -
  • - -

    Smart - Card. Uses SmartCard - hardware for providing authentication services. -

    - -
    • -
  • - -

    Windows - Domain. Uses a Windows® domain controller to - provide authentication services through Active - Directory, Microsoft's implementation of - LDAP. -

    - -
    • -
-
- - -

If you select a method other - than Local file, you will be asked to provide - some parameters, which vary from one method to the other. If you - don't know those parameters, you should ask your network - administrator. -

- - -
- - - - - - - - -
[Note]Note
- -

If you happen to have - problems remembering passwords, or if your computer will never be - connected to the Internet and you absolutely trust everybody who - uses your computer, you can choose to have No - password. Please bear in mind that this is an insecure - option, and it is not recommended. -

How to Uninstall Linux -

If for any reason you want to uninstall Mandriva Linux, - you can do so. The process of uninstalling Mandriva Linux is done in - two steps: -

[Warning]Warning
- -

Removing partitions on - your hard drive will inevitably result in the loss of all data stored on - those partitions. Please make sure you've backed up all of the data you - want to keep before proceeding. -

- -
-
- - -
-
    -
  1. - - - - - -

    Delete all partitions related to - Mandriva Linux on your hard drive (usually partitions hosting - ext3 file systems and the Swap partition) - and — optionally — replace them - with a single partition using DiskDrake. -

    - -

    Remove the bootloader, LILO in this example, from the - Master Boot Record (MBR). To do so, execute lilo - -U in a console, as root. Doing this will not only - uninstall LILO but will also restore the previous master boot - record, if any. -

    - - -

    If you have a different boot - loader, please refer to its documentation to determine how to regenerate - the master boot record. -
