    +

    Each one is a small image that contains no more than that which is needed to + start the drakx installer and find the ISO file to continue and complete the + install. These ISO files may be on the PC hard disk, on a local drive, on a + local network or on the Internet. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    These media are very light (less than 100 Mo) and are convenient when + bandwidth is too low to download a full DVD, PC without DVD drive or PC that + can't boot on a USB stick. +

Media downloading and checking +

+
+
+
+ + + +
+
+
+
+

Downloading +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it either using http or + BitTorrent. In both cases, a window give you some information, like the used + mirror and the possibility to change if the bandwidth is to low. If http is + chosen, you can also see something like +

+ + + + +

md5sum and sha1sum are tools to check your ISO integrity. Use only one of + them. Both hexadecimal numbers have been calculated by an algorithm from the + file to be downloaded. If you ask this algorithm to calculate again this + number from your downloaded file, either you have the same number and your + downloaded file is correct, or the number is different and you met a + failure. Then this window appears: +

+ + + + +

Check the radio button Save File.

+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Checking the downloaded media integrity +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Open a console, no need to be root, and:

+ + +

- To use md5sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ md5sum + path/to/the/image/file.iso. +

+ + +

- To use sha1sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ sha1sum + path/to/the/image/file.iso. +

+ + +

and compare the obtained number on your computer (you may have to wait for a + while) with the number given by Mageia. Example: +

+ + + + +

+ +
+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Burn or dump the ISO +

+
+
+
+ + + +

The checked ISO can now be burned on a CD or DVD or dumped on a USB + stick. These operations are not a simple copy and aim at make a boot-able + media. +

+ + +
+
+
+
+

Burn the ISO on a CD/DVD +

+
+
+
+ + + +

Use whatever burner you want but ensure the burning device is set correctly + to burn an image, burn data or files is not + correct. More information in the Mageia + wiki. +

+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+

Dump the ISO on a USB stick +

+
+
+
+ + + +

All Mageia ISOs are hybrid, which means you can 'dump' them on a USB stick + and use it to boot and install the system. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Awas]
+ +

"dumping" an image onto a flash device destroys any prior file-system in the + partition; any data will be lost and partition capacity will be reduced to + the image size. +

+ +
+
+ + +

To recover the original capacity, you have to format the USB stick.

+ + +
+
+
+
+
Using Mageia +
+
+
+
+ + + +

You can use a graphical tool like IsoDumper

+ + +

You can also use the dd tool in a console:

+ + +
+
    +
  1. + +

    Open a console

    + +
    2. +
  2. + +

    Become root with the command su - (don't forget the + final -) +

    + + + +
    3. +
  3. + +

    Plug your USB stick (do not mount it, that means do not open any application + or file manager that read it) +

    + +
    4. +
  4. + +

    Enter the command fdisk -l

    + + + +
    5. +
  5. + +

    Find the device name for your USB stick (by its size), for example /dev/sdb + in the screenshot above, it is a 8Go USB stick. +

    + +
    6. +
  6. + +

    Enter the command: # dd if=path/to/the/ISO/file of=/dev/sdX + bs=1M

    + + +

    (x)=your device name eg: /dev/sdc Example: # dd + if=/home/user/Downloads/Mageia-4-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdb + bs=1M

    + +
    7. +
  7. + +

    Enter the command: # sync

    + +
    8. +
  8. + +

    Unplug your USB stick, it is done

    + +
    9. +
+
+ +
+ + +
+
+
+
+
Using Windows +
+
+
+
+ + + +

You can try:

+ + +

- Rufus

+ + +

- Win32 + Disk Imager

+ + +
