Välj och använd ISO-filer

Presentation

Mageia distribueras via ISO-avbilder. Den här sidan kommer att hjälpa dig att välja vilken avbild som bäst passar dina behov.

Det finns tre sorters installationsmedier:

Classical installer: 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.

LIVE media: 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.


	The Live Installer is simpler compared to the Classical Installer - but you have fewer configuration options.


	Live ISOs can only be used to create ”clean” installations, they cannot be used to upgrade previously installed Mageia releases.

Net Install: These are minimal ISO's containing no more than that which is needed to start the DrakX installer and find DrakX-installer-stage2 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.

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.

More details are given in the next sections.

Media

Definition

Here, a medium (plural: media) is an ISO image file that allows you to install and/or update Mageia and, by extension, any physical medium (DVD, USB stick, ...) the ISO file is copied to.

Du kan hitta ISO-filer för Mageia här.

Klassiska installtionsmedier

Vanliga funktioner

De här ISO-filerna använder den klassiska installeraren som kallas DrakX

You'll be given the choice during the installation to add non-free software

Live media

Vanliga funktioner

Can be used to preview the Mageia operating system without having to install it
Live-mediet inkluderar också en installerare.

Laddar ner och kontrollerar media

Hämtar

Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it using either http or BitTorrent. In both cases, you are provided with some information, such as the mirror in use and an option to switch to an alternative if the bandwidth is too low.

If http is chosen you will also see some information regarding checksums.

md5sum, sha1sum and sha512sum (the most secure) are tools to check the ISO integrity. Copy one of the checksums (string of alphanumeric characters) for use in the next section.

In the meantime, a window to download the actual ISO will open:

Klicka på Spara fil, klicka sen på OK.

Kontrollerar integriteten på nerladdad media

The checksums referred to earlier, are digital fingerprints 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.

Öppna en konsol för att generera kontrollsumman för din nerladdade ISO (inget behov av att vara root), och:

För att använda md5-summan, skriv: md5sum genvägen/till/din/avbild.iso
För att använda sha1-summan, skriv: sha1sum genväg/till/avbild.iso
To use the sha512sum, type: sha512sum path/to/the/image/file.iso

Exempel:

then compare the result (you may have to wait for a while) with the ISO checksum provided by Mageia.

Bränn eller dumpa ISO-filen.

The verified ISO can now be burned to a CD/DVD or ”dumped” to a USB stick. This is not a standard copy operation, as a bootable medium will actually be created.

Att bränna ISO-filen till en CD/DVD

Whichever software you use, ensure that the option to burn an image is used. Burn data or files is NOT correct. See the the Mageia wiki for more information.

Dumpa ISOn till ett USB-minne

All Mageia ISOs are hybrids, which means you can dump them to a USB stick and then use that to boot and install the system.


	Dumping an image onto a flash device destroys any previous file-system on the device and all existing data will be lost.

Also, the only partition on the flash device will then just be the Mageia ISO partition.

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.

Använda ett grafiskt verktyg i Mageia

Du kan använda ett grafiskt verktyg som t. ex. IsoDumper

Använda ett grafiskt verktyg i Windows

Du kan prova:

Rufus using the "ISO image" option
Win32-diskavbildaren

Using the Command line within a GNU/Linux system


	It is potentially dangerous to do this by hand. You risk overwriting potentially valuable existing data if you specify the wrong target device.

Öppna en konsol
Become a root (Administrator) user with the command su - (don't forget the - )
Plug in your USB stick - but do not mount it (this also means do not open any application or file manager that could access or read it)
Skriv kommandot fdisk -l

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

Alternatively, you can find the device name with the command dmesg. Towards the end of the following example, you can see the device name starting with sd, and in this case, sdd is the actual device. You can also see that its size is 2GB:

Skriv kommandot: dd if=genväg/till/ISO of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

Där X=namnet på din enhet t.ex: /dev/sdd

Example:dd if=/home/user/Downloads/Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=1M


	It might be helpful to know that if stands for input file and of stands for output file

Skriv kommandot: sync
Det här är slutet av processen, och du kan nu dra ut din USB-sticka.
