<b>Boot process (stage1)</b>
Installation begin by booting from CD-ROM or Diskette. From CD-ROM all
installation method are available (CD, HD, NFS, FTP, HTTP) on options. From
Diskette according to image selected, only some related method (network or cdrom
or hd) are available and module managed due to size limitation to 1.44Mb.
Options are always available by pressing on F1.
<b>DrakX process (stage2)</b>
DrakX installation organized in steps (execution sequence described below).
Steps listed on left side and help available on bottom right side. most of the
screen is available for various dialog for interacting with the user. Steps
execution sequence is automated and described below.
Mouse is probed and if none has been found or if the mouse has not moved, a
specific mouse configuration is displayed at the begining.
Before the graphical steps, there is a detection step. It detects various
hardware, including modems (from tty0 to tty7), mouse (serial, usb, ps/2) and
tablets.
<b>Steps</b>
<i>Choose Your language</i>: step always displayed. default choice is previous one or
<font color="#000080"><i>English</i></font>. After choosing a language, a license splash screen translated in the
chosen language is displayed with <font color="#000080"><i>Accept</i></font> and <font color="#000080"><i>Refuse</i></font> buttons. <font color="#000080"><i>Refuse</i></font> should
stop installation. <font color="#000080"><i>Accept</i></font> validate language choice which are propagated to all
DrakX visible widget. Advanced mode allow to select other language available to
be installed. Advanced mode allow to select language which will be installed on
system.
If step is redone, the license is no more displayed.
<font color="#000080"><i>Select Install Class</i></font>: step always displayed. default choice is previous one
or <font color="#000080"><i>Recommended</i></font>. Only one other option available is <font color="#000080"><i>Customized</i></font>. Two buttons
available are <font color="#000080"><i>Install</i></font> or <font color="#000080"><i>Upgrade</i></font>. Available steps (left side) are changed
according to installation class selected, where the default is the one of
<font color="#000080"><i>Recommended</i></font> with <font color="#000080"><i>Install</i></font>.
<font color="#000080"><i>Hard Drive Detection</i></font>: step always displayed. In recommended mode,
automatically done. In Customized mode, all modules that manage SCSI/IDE cards
are loaded automatically and a question asking for other module to load is
displayed.
If clicked later or if to the question to load other module the
answer is <font color="#000080"><i>Yes</i></font>, a list of module is displayed (or if the question to other
module to load is. When a module is chosen, two options are available
<font color="#000080"><i>Autoprobe</i></font> and <font color="#000080"><i>Specify options</i></font>. Autoprobe try to load the module without any
other user options (default module parameter). Specify options allow user to
give module parameters individually in a list for all known parameters. At this
point <font color="#000080"><i>Ok</i></font> or <font color="#000080"><i>Cancel</i></font> are available, Cancel should stop the module installation
and go to next step. If any error occurs during module installation, a question
asking to try with other parameter is displayed, the same module is still used.
<font color="#000080"><i>Setup filesystems</i></font>: step always displayed. display a list of available choice
accoding to what has been probed. May contains <font color="#000080"><i>Use free space</i></font>, "Use existing
partition<font color="#000080"><i>, </i></font>Use the window partition for loopback<font color="#000080"><i>, </i></font>Use the free space on the
Windows partition<font color="#000080"><i>, </i></font>Remove Windows(TM)<font color="#000080"><i>|</i></font>Erase entire disk" (according to disk
configuration => only one big fat for the first case only), "Custom disk
partitioning".
If <font color="#000080"><i>Use free space</i></font> mode, auto allocation in available on available disk.
If <font color="#000080"><i>Use existing partition</i></font> mode, a list of partition named in Linux
scheme are displayed with their approximate size in Mb and propose mount point
to choose in list boxes for each partitions available on hard drive.
If <font color="#000080"><i>Use the window partition for loopback</i></font> mode, DrakX use available size
on the windows partition to create a root file and a swap file which will be
used in loopback, this means this is a lnx4win installation.
If <font color="#000080"><i>Use the free space on the Windows partition</i></font> mode, DrakX will resize
the windows partition and allocate true linux filesystem (at least / and swap).
If <font color="#000080"><i>Remove Windows(TM)</i></font>|<font color="#000080"><i>Erase entire disk</i></font> mode, DrakX clean the
partition table before auto allocating partition.
If <font color="#000080"><i>Custom disk partitioning</i></font> mode, diskdrake is launch. TO BE DEFINED to
change make diskdrake use only advanced mode.
Diskdrake show all partition of all non-removable disk graphically. All special
partition are hidden, only user accessible partition are visible: this remove
extended partition, whole disk partition on sparc platform. Clicking on a disk
notebook tab show all his partitions. Clicking on a partition show all actions
available for this partition (depend if customized or advanced mode) as well as
information on this partition (depend if customized or advanced mode). Most
diskdrake operation are done without writing on disk (exception are Resizing
partitions) and everything is written once on the disk when exiting diskdrake,
at any time if writing partition table is necessary, there are always a dialog
box asking the user to confirm the write. If no operation are modifying
partition table, no dialog is displayed on exit (for example if giving mount
point to partition). General action are available too:
<font color="#000080"><i>Clear All</i></font>: clear all partition of the given disk.
<font color="#000080"><i>Auto allocate</i></font>: try to allocate partition in available disk (not the
seen disk).
<font color="#000080"><i>Undo</i></font>: undo last operation.
<font color="#000080"><i>Done</i></font>: quit and save changes.
Other operations are available in advanced mode:
<font color="#000080"><i>Rescue partition table</i></font>: try to rescue a lost partition table,
absolutely no garantee to succeed and may destroy what could be saveable by
another tools.
<font color="#000080"><i>Reload</i></font>: reload partition table from disk, erasing all changes in
memory done by the user.
<font color="#000080"><i>Wizard</i></font>: go to partition wizard, that the partition filesystems default
behaviour on startup.
<font color="#000080"><i>Restore from floppy</i></font>: restore a partition table from previously saved
partition table from diskdrake.
<font color="#000080"><i>Save to floppy</i></font>: save partition table to floppy.
<font color="#000080"><i>Options</i></font>: global options available for filesystem configuration. This
include <font color="#000080"><i>Removable media automouting supermount</i></font> check box disabled by default.
Operation available on partition are:
<font color="#000080"><i>Mount point</i></font>: change or define mount point for partition, only
available for true filesystem partition.
<font color="#000080"><i>Resize</i></font>: resize partition, if a specific algorithm to keep data is
used no data may be lost, else all data are lost but nothing is written by
diskdrake on the partition data in this last case (this means data can be
restored by restoring original size and location).
<font color="#000080"><i>Delete</i></font>: delete partition, if the same partition is created (same type,
location, size) all data can be restored as diskdrake doesn't write on partition
data.
Operation available on partition table but in advanced mode are:
<font color="#000080"><i>Type</i></font>: change type of partition, all data will be lost but diskdrake as
above does not destroy them, and everyting can be restored.
<font color="#000080"><i>Format</i></font>: format partition, at this point, all data ARE LOST.
<font color="#000080"><i>Mount</i></font>: mount partition now, usefull for swap to increase memory
capacity for machine low on resource that are not available to complete setup
filesystem step correctly (problably if a resize partition is used on FAT fs).
allow Mounting swap on customized mode too.
A legend for partition type colors is available
(Ext2,ReiserFS,Swap,FAT,Other,Empty). It has additionnal features to create a
partition or change its type (only available in advanced mode).
<font color="#000080"><i>Format partitions</i></font>: step always displayed. display list of partition to
format with click boxes. Some are defined according to type of partitions and if
the partition has been created or taken back.
If a partition has already been formated, it is not proposed, or if it should
not be proposed (alrady existing partition like /mnt/windows).
On Advanced tag, an additional dialog is displayed to select partition to format
(all available partition listed) and to format them with bad block checking.
<font color="#000080"><i>Choose packages</i></font>: step always displayed. default selection done to be
<font color="#000080"><i>correct</i></font> according to size available, Install or Upgrade, Hardware available.
This selection is done according to <font color="#000080"><i>Mandrake first choice</i></font> of packages.
On all mode, display groups and main desktop used (KDE or Gnome), an
individual package selection check box is available to allow selecting package
individually. In this case, a dialog displaying a tree with groups, (Mandrake
first choice/alternatives) and packages is shown on the left part, a description
window for each packages is shown on the right part.
<font color="#000080"><i>Install system</i></font>: step always displayed. no interactive and display
installation progression. include if available and on a CD basis a spash screen
of advertising and other (pub!).
<font color="#000080"><i>Hardware panel</i></font>: step always displayed. show current configuration for
Mouse, Keyboard, TimeZone, Graphic/TV Card, Monitor.
At each values chosen (list boxes displayed a
synthesis description) the current dialog is removed from screen and specific
configuration panels are displayed (like currently for mouse, keyboard ...).
And end of these specific configuration panels, this one is remapped on screen
to be accepted in general.
<b>Sub steps of Hardware panel:</b>
<font color="#000080"><i>Configure mouse</i></font>: displayed on request or if the mouse has not been
moved (so unsafe detection), but have to be displayed earlier. A mouse tree
selection for type is displayed with default case as what is probed or

modification and <font color="#000080"><i>Ok</i></font> allow next mouse configuration dialog. Then comes a serial
port dialog for serial mice (default mouse connected to COM1 if nothing found).
Then a mouse screen control is chown (according to mouse capacity: 3 buttons
with or without mouse, need 7 buttons checking ?). Here <font color="#000080"><i>Ok</i></font> validate to go to
next step and <font color="#000080"><i>Cancel</i></font> to first mouse dialog displayed (mouse tree selection for
type).

return to the same <font color="#000080"><i>Hardware panel</i></font> dialog.
<font color="#000080"><i>Configure timezone</i></font>: displayed on request. default is set according to
language selection. A timezone tree selection is shown with only the subtree
corresponding to the current selection expanded (as other tree dialog). <font color="#000080"><i>Ok</i></font>
validates change and return to <font color="#000080"><i>Hardware panel</i></font> dialog whereas <font color="#000080"><i>Cancel</i></font> avoid
