Stage 1 (Pre-installation Stage)OpstartenThe particular Welcome Screen that you will see when
booting with the NetInstall media depends on whether you are booting on a
BIOS or UEFI system. See the following two screenshots:When booting up, you can choose to read the advanced help by pressing
F2 and return to the installer screen by pressing
F1. Otherwise, the boot will continue with default
settings.Use the arrow keys to highlight Start Mageia Install
and then press Enter.For both BIOS and UEFI systems, you will then see a pop-up notification
saying that USB devices are being detected:InstallatiemethodeYou can now choose an installation method via CDROM/HDD or Server (NFS, FTP
or HTTP).You also have the option to load third-party modules at this point.Move up or down the list using the arrow keys until the appropriate method
of installation is highlighted.Press the Tab key until Ok is
highlighted and then press Enter.ServerIf 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.After choosing any of the server options you will automatically proceed to
the section.CDROM/HDDIf you choose to install from either a CDROM or hard disk (or USB stick), a
scan for storage devices will be performed:First, select the relevant hard drive (or USB stick)Followed by the relevant partitionThen specify the directory or the file name of the ISOLeaving this open, or using the directory is easier, because the installer
then presents you with a list of directories and files from which you can
make your selection using the up and down arrows, as seen in the second of
the following images.Once the information has been provided for the location of the ISO, either
on CDROM or HDD, you will automatically proceed to (the actual installation stage).Load Third-Party ModulesIf you wish to Load third-party modules, then you will
be asked for the location of the directory containing the modules:NetwerkverbindingConnection DeviceIf you chose any of the server options at the Installation
Method step, you will then be asked to choose a network device:VerbindingstypeNow you need to choose whether the network device will use a DHCP, Static or
ADSL connection:If you are unsure which option is suitable, then you should probably accept
the default option (DHCP).Host/Domain NamesIf necessary, you can now supply your Host and Domain names:If you are unsure what this means then you can just leave the fields blank,
highlight Ok and press Enter to
proceed. The network connection will now be activated.If you are using either FTP or HTTP, you will automatically proceed to the
sectionIf you are using NFS, you will be asked for the NFS server name and the
directory containing the Mageia distribution:After entering the NFS details, you will automatically proceed to
(the actual installation
stage).MirrorsIf using FTP or HTTP, you now have to specify a mirror to use. This can be
done manually or by choosing from a listHandmatig opgevenYou will find a list of all available mirrors here: http://mirrors.mageia.org/Whichever mirror you choose, 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/i586Another example (for Mageia 6 x86_64) could be:pub/Mirrors/Mageia/distrib/6/x86_64Other mirrors may have a different path structure and the screenshots below
show such examples:Als u gebruik maakt van een FTP server:Als u gebruik maakt van een HTTP server:Once this information has been provided, you will automatically proceed to
(the actual installation
stage).Select From a ListAls u een heleboel ontbrekende afhankelijkheidsfouten later in de
installatie te zien krijgt, start dan opnieuw op en probeer een andere
spiegelserver.After choosing an FTP server, you will see a screen where you can optionally
add a login name and password if required.Once this information has been provided, you will automatically proceed to
(the actual installation
stage).
