Ky hap quhet edhe Faza 1

The first screen to appear is this one When booting up, you can choose to read the advanced help by pressing F2 and return to the installer screen with F1. If you don't choose one, the boot will continue with default settings.

The first screen to appear is this one Use the arrow keys to select Start Mageia n Install and press Enter.

Then you can see this screen : During Stage 1, nothing will be written to your Hard Disk, so it is safe at any point to quit. You can do so by pressing ctrl+alt+del. You can use alt+F3 to read the logs and alt+F1 to return to the installer screen.

Use the arrow keys to move down and up the list, until your method of choice is highlighted. If you don't know what to choose for a Network Installation, choose FTP server. On an enterprise network, FTP and rsync may be blocked, so using HTTP server is a good choice in this case. Press the tab key until Ok is highlighted and then press enter. For an installation from hard disk or USB stick, see below.

If you have several network cards, choose the right one. If you don't know what to choose, choose DHCP

If you don't know what to do: leave it blank and select "Ok"

Leave blank if you don't know what to do

If you choose to specify the mirror manually, you'll have to type the path to your preferred medium. This can be very hard if you don't have an American keyboard. Selecting the "Mageia" option will give you a list you can choose from by moving up and down with the arrow keys.

Whichever server you choose, listed here, it should use the same tree-like structure from "mageia" (or "Mageia") as used by the official Mageia mirrors. That means .../mageia/distrib/<version>/<arch> A correct entry (when using an official mirror) in the "Mageia directory" field below, could be: pub/linux/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586 Another example for Mageia 5 x86_64 would be: pub/Mirrors/Mageia/distrib/5/x86_64. Other mirrors may have a different structure and the screenshots below show such examples: If you chose a HTTP server: If you chose a FTP server:

If you get a lot of missing dependency errors later in the install, reboot and try a different mirror.After choosing an FTP server, you get a screen where you can add a login name and password if required.After this step, Stage 2 will be installed and startedThis is the first Stage 2 screen, see Installing - Stage 2 below:

If you choose to install from hard disk or USB stick, you must know where the iso file is saved. First, select your hard drive (or USB stick) and then the partition Then specify the directory or the file name of the iso. Leaving open or using the directory is easier, because the installer then offers you a list of directories and files, from which you can select with up and down arrows, as seen by the second image.

The first screen you see now, is the "Please choose a language to use" screen. Nothing has been written to your HD yet. If you want to reboot, go to tty2 with ctrl+alt+F2 and press ctrl+alt+del. (ctrl+alt+F7 to come back if you change your mind). This part of the install is the same as shown in http://doc.mageia.org/installer/5/en/content/selectLanguage.html.
