Install
Use this option to perform a fresh installation of Mageia. This will format the
root
partition (/
), but can preserve a pre-existing/home
partition (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.
Indicație
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.
