Namestitev z Medija Live

Izbor in uporaba odtisa diska: ISO

Predstavitev

Mageia is distributed via ISO images. This page will help you to choose which image match your needs.

There is two families of media:

Classical installer: After booting the media, it will follow a process allowing to choose what to install and how to configure your target system. This give you the maximal flexibility for a customized installation, in particular to choose which Desktop Environment you will install.

LIVE media: you can boot the media in a real Mageia system without installing it, to see what you will get after installation. The installation process is simpler, but you get lesser choices.

Details are given in the next sections.

Vir

Definicija

Here, a medium (plural: media) is an ISO image file that allows you to install and/or update Mageia and by extension any physical support the ISO file is copied to.

Najdete jih tukaj.

Mediji za klasično namestitev

Skupne značilnosti

These ISOs use the traditional installer called drakx.

They are able to make a clean install or an update from previous releases.

DVD

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Some tools are available in the Welcome screen: Rescue System, Memory Test, Hardware Detection Tool.

Each DVD contains many available desktop environments and languages.

You'll be given the choice during the installation to add non free software.

Live media

Skupne značilnosti

Can be used to preview the distribution without installing it on a HDD, and optionally install Mageia on to your HDD.

Each ISO contains only one desktop environment (KDE, GNOME or Xfce).

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Live ISOs can only be used to create clean installations, they cannot be used to upgrade from previous releases.

Vsebuje lastniško programsko opremo.

Live DVD Plasma

Plasma desktop environment only.

Prisotni so vsi jeziki.

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Live DVD GNOME

GNOME desktop environment only.

Prisotni so vsi jeziki.

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Live DVD Xfce

Xfce desktop environment only.

Prisotni so vsi jeziki.

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Boot-only CD media

Skupne značilnosti

Each one is a small image that contains no more than that which is needed to start the drakx installer and find drakx-installer-stage2 and other packages that are needed to continue and complete the install. These packages may be on the PC hard disk, on a local drive, on a local network or on the Internet.

These media are very light (less than 100 MB) and are convenient when bandwidth is too low to download a full DVD, a PC without a DVD drive or a PC that can't boot from a USB stick.

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

samo angleščina.

netinstall.iso

Contains only free software, for those people who refuse to use non-free software.

netinstall-nonfree.iso

Contains non-free software (mostly drivers, codecs...) for people who need it.

Downloading and Checking Media

Prejemanje

Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it using either http or BitTorrent. In both cases, a window gives you some information, such as the mirror in use and the possibility to change if the bandwidth is to low. If http is chosen, you may also see something like

md5sum and sha1sum are tools to check the ISO integrity. Use only one of them. Keep one of them for further usage. Then this window appears:

Check the radio button Save File.

Checking the downloaded media integrity

Both checksums are hexadecimal numbers calculated by an algorithm from the file to be downloaded. When you ask these algorithms to recalculate this number from your downloaded file, either you have the same number and your downloaded file is correct, or the number is different and you have a failure. A failure infers that you should retry the download or attempt a repair using BitTorrent.

Open a console, no need to be root, and:

- To use md5sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ md5sum path/to/the/image/file.iso.

- To use sha1sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ sha1sum path/to/the/image/file.iso.

and compare the obtained number on your computer (you may have to wait for a while) with the number given by Mageia. Example:

Burn or dump the ISO

The checked ISO can now be burned to a CD or DVD or dumped to a USB stick. These operations are not a simple copy and aim to make a bootable medium.

Burning the ISO to a CD/DVD

Use whatever burner you wish but ensure the burning device is set correctly to burn an image, burn data or files is not correct. There is more information in the Mageia wiki.

Odlaganje odtisa nosilca za namestitev na ključek USB

All Mageia ISOs are hybrids, which means you can 'dump' them to a USB stick and then use it to boot and install the system.

Pozor

Odlaganje odtisa nosilca za namestitev na ključek USB izbriše vse njegove datotečne sisteme. Navidezna velikost naprave bo omejena na velikost odtisa. Izgubili boste vse podatke na njem.

To recover the original capacity, you must redo partitioning and re-format the USB stick.

Using a graphical tool within Mageia

Uporabite lahko orodje z grafičnim vmesnikom kot je IsoDumper

Using a graphical tool within Windows

Lahko poskusite:

- Rufus z uporabo možnosti "ISO image" "ISO slika" ;

- Win32 Disk Imager

Using Command line within a GNU/Linux system

Pozor

It is potentially *dangerous* to do this by hand. You risk to overwrite a disc partition if you get the device-ID wrong.

You can also use the dd tool in a console:

Odprite konzolo

Become root with the command su - (don't forget the final '-' )

Plug in your USB stick (do not mount it, this also means do not open any application or file manager that could access or read it)

Enter the command fdisk -l

Alternatively, you can get the device name with the command dmesg: at end, you see the device name starting with sd, and sdd in this case:

Zagon medija

Z diska

You can boot directly from the media you used to burn your image (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.

According to which hardware you have, and how it is configured, you get either one or another of the two screens below.

Z naprave USB

You can boot from the USB device on which you dumped your image ISO. According to your BIOS settings, the computer boots perhaps directly on the USB device already plugged in a port. 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.

V načinu BIOS/CSM/Legacy

Prvi zaslon med zagonom v načinu BIOS

V srednjem meniju so na voljo tri možna dejanja:

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.

Install Mageia: This choice will directly install Mageia on a hard disk.

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).

V spodnjem meniju so na voljo zagonske možnosti:

F1 - pomoč. Razlaga možnosti »splash«, »apm«, »acpi« in »Ide«

F2 - jezik. Izbor jezika za prikaz na zaslonu.

F3 - ločljivost zaslona. Na voljo je izbor: tekst, 640x400, 800x600, 1024x728

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.

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.

F6 - Kernel options. This is a way to specify options according to your hardware and the drivers to use.

V načinu UEFI

Prvi zaslon med zagonom sistema z diska v načinu UEFI

You have only the choice to run Mageia in Live mode (first choice) or to process the installation (second choice).

If you booted from a USB stick, you get two supplemental lines which are a duplicata of the previous lines suffixed with "USB". You have to choose them.

In each case, the first steps will be the same to choose language, timezone and keyboard, then the processes differ, with additional steps in Live mode.

Izberite jezik namestitve

Select your preferred language, by first expanding the list for your continent. Mageia will use this selection during the installation and for your installed system.

If it is likely that you will require several languages installed on your system, for yourself or other users, then you should use the Multiple languages button to add them now. It will be difficult to add extra language support after installation.

Pozor

Even if you choose more than one language, you must first choose one of them as your preferred language in the first language screen. It will also be marked as chosen in the multiple languages screen .

If your keyboard language is not the same as your preferred language, then it is advisable to install the language of your keyboard as well.

Mageia uses UTF-8 (Unicode) support by default.

This may be disabled in the "multiple languages" screen if you know that it is inappropriate for your language. Disabling UTF-8 applies to all installed languages.

You can change the language of your system after installation in the Mageia Control Center -> System -> Manage localization for your system.

Preizkusite Magejo kot živ sistem

Live mode

You get this screen if you selected "Boot Mageia". If not, you get the "Partitioning step"

Preizkus strojne opreme

One of the Live mode goals is to test if the hardware is correctly managed by Mageia. You can check if all devices have a driver in the Hardware section of the Mageia Control Center. You can test the most current devices:

network interface: configure it with net_applet

graphical card: if you see the previous screen, it's already OK.

Spletna kamera:

sound: a jingle has already been played

printer: configure it and print a test page

scanner: scan a document from ...

If all is OK for you, you can process to the installation. If not, you can leave with the quit button.

The configuration settings you made here are kept for the installation.

Zagon namestitve

To launch the installation of Mageia LiveCD or Live DVD to the hard disc or SSD drive, simply click on the icon "Install on Hard Disk". You will get this screen, and then the "Partitioning step" as for the direct installation.

Razdelitev diska

In this screen you can see the content of your hard drive(s) and see the solutions the DrakX partitioning wizard found for where to install Mageia.

The options available from the list below will vary depending on your particular hard drive(s) layout and content.

Uporabi obstoječe razdelke

If this option is available, then existing Linux compatible partitions have been found and may be used for the installation.

Uporabi razpoložljivi prostor

If you have unused space on your hard drive then this option will use it for your new Mageia installation.

Uporabi razpoložljivi prostor v razdelku za Windows

If you have unused space on an existing Windows partition, the installer may offer to use it.

This can be a useful way of making room for your new Mageia installation, but is a risky operation so you should make sure you have backed up all important files!

Note that this involves shrinking the size of the Windows partition. The partition must be "clean", meaning that Windows must have closed down correctly the last time it was used. It must also have been defragmented, although this is not a guarantee that all files in the partition have been moved out of the area that is about to be used. It is highly recommended to back up your personal files.

With this option, the installer displays the remaining Windows partition in light blue and the future Mageia partition in dark blue with their intended sizes just under. You have the possibility to adapt these sizes by clicking and dragging the gap between both partitions. See the screen-shot below.

Zbriši in uporabi celoten disk.

Ta možnost bo uporabila celoten pogon za Magejo.

Pozor! To bo pobrisalo VSE podatke na izbrani napravi. Pazljivo!

If you intend to use part of the disk for something else, or you already have data on the drive that you are not prepared to lose, then do not use this option.

Po meri

S tem imate popoln nadzor nad namestitvijo na (enem ali več) vaših diskov.

Velikost razdelkov:

Namestitev bo razdelila razpoložljiv prostor po naslednjih pravilih:

Če je vsega razpoložljivega prostora na voljo manj kot 50 GB, bo ustvarjen samo en razdelek in sicer korenski: /. Brez ločenega domačega razdelka: /home.

Če je vsega razpoložljivega prostora na voljo več kot 50 GB, bodo ustvarjeni trije razdelki

6/19 prostora na voljo bo namenjeno korenskemu: /, a ne več kot 50 GB

1/19 bo rezervirana izmenjalnemu razdelku: swap, a največ 4 GB

ostalih (vsaj 12/19) bo uporabljenih za domači razdelek: /home

To pomeni, da bo namestitev pri 160 GB ali več razpoložljivega prostora ustvarila tri razdelke: 50 GB za korenskega: /, 4 GB za izmenjalnega in preostalo za domačo mapo: /home.

Opomba

If you are using an UEFI system, the ESP (EFI System Partition) will be automatically detected, or created if it does not exist yet, and mounted on /boot/EFI. The "Custom" option is the only one that allows to check it has been correctly done

Opomba

If you are using a Legacy (as known as CSM or BIOS) system with a GPT disk, you need to create a Bios boot partition if not already existing. It is an about 1 MiB partition with no mount point. Choose the "Custom disk partitioning" option to be able to create it with the Installer like any other partition, just select BIOS boot partition as filesystem type.

Pozor

Some newer drives are now using 4096 byte logical sectors, instead of the previous standard of 512 byte logical sectors. Due to lack of available hardware, the partitioning tool used in the installer has not been tested with such a drive. Also some ssd drives now use an erase block size over 1 MB. We suggest to pre-partition the drive, using an alternative partitioning tool like gparted, if you own such a device, and to use the following settings:

»Poravnaj z ang.: Align to« »MiB«

"Free space preceding (MiB)" "2"

Also make sure all partitions are created with an even number of megabytes.

Izberite priklopne točke

Here you see the Linux partitions that have been found on your computer. If you don't agree with the DrakX suggestions, you can change the mount points.

Opomba

If you change anything, make sure you still have a / (root) partition.

Every partition is shown as follows: "Device" ("Capacity", "Mount point", "Type").

"Device", is made up of: "hard drive", ["hard drive number"(letter)], "partition number" (for example, "sda5").

If you have many partitions, you can choose many different mount points from the drop down menu, such as /, /home and /var. You can even make your own mount points, for instance /video for a partition where you want to store your films, or /cauldron-home for the /home partition of a cauldron install.

For partitions you don't need to have access to, you can leave the mount point field blank.

Pozor

Choose Previous if you are not sure what to choose, and then tick Custom disk partitioning. In the screen that follows, you can click on a partition to see its type and size.

If you are sure the mount points are correct, click on Next, and choose whether you only want to format the partition(s) DrakX suggests, or more.

Confirm hard disk to be formatted

Click on Previous if you are not sure about your choice.

Click on Next if you are sure and want to erase every partition, every operating system and all data on that hard disk.

Razdeljevanje diska po meri s programom DiskDrake

Pozor

If you wish to use encryption on your / partition you must ensure that you have a separate /boot partition. The encryption option for the /boot partition must NOT be set, otherwise your system will be unbootable.

Adjust the layout of your disk(s) here. You can remove or create partitions, change the filesystem of a partition or change its size and even view what is in them before you start.

There is a tab for every detected hard disk or other storage device, like an USB key. For example sda, sdb and sdc if there are three of them.

Push Clear all to wipe all partitions on the selected storage device

For all other actions: click on the desired partition first. Then view it, or choose a filesystem and a mount point, resize it or wipe it.

Continue until you adjusted everything to your wishes.

Klikni Končano ko bo v redu.

Opomba

If you are installing Mageia on an UEFI system, check that an ESP (EFI System Partition) is present and correctly mounted on /boot/EFI (see below)

Opomba

If you are installing Mageia on a Legacy/GPT system, check that a BIOS boot partition is present with a correct type

Formatiranje

Here you can choose which partition(s) you wish to format. Any data on partitions not marked for formatting will be saved.

Usually at least the partitions DrakX selected, need to be formatted

Click on Advanced to choose partitions you want to check for so called bad blocks

Namig

If you're not sure you have made the right choice, you can click on Previous, again on Previous and then on Custom to get back to the main screen. In that screen you can choose to view what is in your partitions.

When you are confident about the selection, click on Next to continue.

Keep or delete unused material

In this step, the installer looks for unused locales packages and unused hardware packages. Then it proposes you to delete them. It is a good idea to accept, except if you prepare an installation which has to run on different hardware.

The next step is the copying of files on hard disk. This takes some minutes. At the end, you get a blank screen for some time, it's normal.

Glavne možnosti zagonskega nalagalnika

Bootloader interface

By default, Mageia uses exclusively:

Grub2 (with or without graphical menu) for a Legacy/MBR or Legacy/GPT system

Grub2-efi for a UEFI system.

Namig

The Mageia graphical menus are nice :

Grub2 on Legacy/MBR and Legacy/GPT systems

Don't modify the "Boot Device" unless you really know what you are doing.

Grub2-efi on UEFI systems

With an UEFI system, the user interface is slightly different as you cannot choose between with or without graphical menu

If Mageia is the only system installed on your computer, the installer created an ESP (EFI System Partition) to receive the bootloader (Grub2-efi). If there are already UEFI operating systems installed on your computer (Windows 8 for example), the Mageia installer detects the existing ESP created by Windows and adds grub2-efi. Although it is possible to have several ESPs, only one is advised and enough whatever the number of operating systems you have.

Don't modify the "Boot Device" unless you really know what you are doing.

Using a Mageia bootloader

By default, according to your system, Mageia writes a new:

GRUB2 bootloader either into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your first hard drive or in the BIOS boot partition.

Grub2-efi bootloader into the ESP

If you already have other operating systems installed, Mageia attempts to add them to your new Mageia boot menu. If you don't want this behaviour, click on Next and then uncheck the box Probe Foreign OS

Using an existing bootloader

The exact procedure for adding your Mageia system to an existing bootloader is beyond the scope of this help, however in most cases it will involve running the relevant bootloader installation program which should detect and add it automatically. See the documentation for the operating system in question.

Using chain loading

If you don't want a bootable Mageia, but to chain load it from another OS, click on Next, then on Advanced and Check the box Do not touch ESP or MBR.

You will get a warning that the bootloader is missing, ignore it by clicking OK.

Možnosti

First page

Delay before booting the default image: This text box lets you set a delay in seconds before the default operating system is started up.

Security: This allows you to set a password for the bootloader. This means other people can not enter single user mode or change settings at the boot time.

Password: This text box is where you actually put the password

Password (again): Retype the password and Drakx will check that it matches with the one set above.

Advanced

Enable ACPI: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a standard for the power management. It can save energy by stopping unused devices, this was the method used before APM. Unchecking it could be useful if, for example, your computer does not support ACPI or if you think the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance random reboots or system lockups).

Enable SMP: This option enables / disables symmetric multiprocessing for multi core processors.

Enable APIC: Enabling or disabling this gives the operating system access to the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. APIC devices permit more complex priority models, and Advanced IRQ (Interrupt Request) management.

Enable Local APIC: Here you can set local APIC, which manages all external interrupts for a specific processor in an SMP system.

Next page

Default: Operating system started up by default

Append: This option lets you pass the kernel information or tell the kernel to give you more information as it boots.

Probe foreign OS: see above Using a Mageia bootloader

Advanced

Video mode: This sets the screen size and colour depth the boot menu will use. If you click the down triangle you will be offered other size and colour depth options.

Do not touch ESP or MBR: see above Using the chain loading

Add or Modify a Boot Menu Entry

To do that you need to manually edit /boot/grub2/custom.cfg or use the software grub-customizer instead (Available in the Mageia repositories).

Opomba

For more information, see our wiki: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Grub2-efi_and_Mageia

Odstrani Magejo

Howto

If Mageia didn't convince you or you can't install it correctly, in short you want get rid of it. That is your right and Mageia also gives you the possibility to uninstall. This is not true for every operating system.

After your data backup, reboot your installation Mageia DVD and select Rescue system, then, Restore Windows boot loader. At the next boot, you will only have Windows with no option to choose your operating system.

To recover the space used by Mageia partitions on Windows, click on Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management to access to the partition management. You will recognize the Mageia partition because they are labeled Unknown, and also by their size and place in the disk. Right click on each of these partitions and select Delete. The space will be freed.

If you are using Windows XP, you can create a new partition and format it (FAT32 or NTFS). It will get a partition letter.

If you have Vista or 7, you have one more possibility, you can extend the existing partition that is at the left of the freed space. There are other partitioning tools that can be used, such as gparted, available for both windows and linux. As always, when changing partitions, be very careful, and make sure all important things have been backed up.
