(CD-ROM, DVD-ROM...). You usually just need to insert it in your CD/DVD
drive for the bootloader to launch the installation automatically after
rebooting the computer. If that does not happen you may need to
reconfigure your BIOS or press one key that will offer you to choose the
peripheral from which the computer will boot.</p><p>According to which hardware you have, and how it is configured,
you get either one or another of the two screens below.</p></div><div class="section" title="From a USB device"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="d4e246"><!----></a>From a USB device</h4></div></div></div><p>You can boot from the USB device on which you dumped your image

directly on the USB device already plugged in a port. If that does not

actions:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>Boot Mageia: That means Mageia 5 will start from the connected
media (CD/DVD or USB stick) without writing anything on the disk, so
expect a very slow system. Once the boot is done, you can proceed to
the installation on a hard disk.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Install Mageia: This choice will directly install Mageia on a
hard disk.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Boot from hard disk: This choice allows to boot from hard disk,
as usual, when no media (CD/DVD or USB stick) is connected. (not
working with Mageia 5).</p></li></ul></div><p>In the bottom menu, are the Boot Options:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>F1 - Help. Explain the options "splash", "apm", "acpi" and
"Ide"</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>F2 - Language. Choose the display language of the

1024x728</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>F4 - CD-Rom. CD-Rom or Other. Normally, the installation is
performed from the inserted installation medium. Here, select other
sources, like FTP or NFS servers. If the installation is carried out
in a network with an SLP server, select one of the installation
sources available on the server with this option.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>F5 - Driver. Yes or No. The system is aware about the presence
of an optional disk with a driver update and will require its
insertion during installation process.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>F6 - Kernel options. This is a way to specify options according
