Install
Use this option to perform a fresh installation of Mageia. This will format the
rootpartition (/), but can preserve a pre-existing/homepartition (a dedicated /home partition, rather than being incorporated within the root (/) partition itself).Upgrade
Use this option to upgrade an existing installation of Mageia.
Important
Only upgrading from a previous Mageia version that was
still supported when this Installer's version was
released, has been thoroughly tested. If you want to upgrade a Mageia
version that has reached its “End Of Life” then it is better
to do a “clean” install instead, while preserving your
/home partition.
Tip
If you have discovered that you forgot to select an additional language, you can return from the Install or Upgrade screen to the language choice screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Home. Do NOT do this later in the install.
