Instalacja za pomocą DrakX

Select and use ISOs

Media

Definition

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.

You can find them here.

Classical installation media

Common features

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 architecture 32 or 64 bits.

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.

DVD dual arch

Both architectures are present on the same medium, the choice is made automatically according to the detected CPU.

Uses Xfce desktop only.

Not all languages are available. (be, bg, ca, de, en, es, fr, it, mk, pl, pt, ru, sv, uk) TO BE CHECKED!

It contains non free software.

Live media

Common features

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 or GNOME).

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.

They contain non free software.

Live CD KDE

KDE desktop environment only.

English language only.

32 bit only.

Live CD GNOME

GNOME desktop environment only.

English language only.

32 bit only.

Live DVD KDE

KDE desktop environment only.

All languages are present.

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Live DVD GNOME

GNOME desktop environment only.

All languages are present.

Different media for 32 or 64 bit architectures.

Boot-only CD media

Common features

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.

English language only.

boot.iso

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

boot-nonfree.iso

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

Downloading and Checking Media

Downloading

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. Both hexadecimal numbers have been 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.Then this window appears:

Check the radio button Save File.

Checking the downloaded media integrity

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 boot-able 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.

Dump the ISO to a USB stick

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.

Ostrzeżenie

"dumping" an image onto a flash device destroys any previous file-system on the device; any other data will be lost and the partition capacity will be reduced to the image size.

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

Using Mageia

You can use a graphical tool like IsoDumper

You can also use the dd tool in a console:

Open a console

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

Plug 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

Find the device name for your USB stick (by its size), for example /dev/sdb in the screenshot above, it is a 8Go USB stick.

Enter the command: # dd if=path/to/the/ISO/file of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

Where X=your device name eg: /dev/sdc

Example: # dd if=/home/user/Downloads/Mageia-4-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

Enter the command: # sync

Unplug your USB stick, it is done

Using Windows

You could try:

- Rufus

- Win32 Disk Imager

Mageia Installation

This step is detailed in the Mageia documentation.

More information is available in the Mageia wiki.

DrakX instalator Mageia

Niezależnie czy jesteś początkującym, czy zaawansowanym użytkownikiem GNU-Linuxa, instalator Magei jest zaprojektowany tak, aby uczynić instalację lub aktualizację łatwą i przyjemną.

Pierwszy ekran instalatora zawiera różne opcje,jednak opcja zaznaczona domyślnie rozpoczyna instalację i zazwyczaj będzie to wszystko czego potrzebujesz.

Rysunek 1. Installation Welcome Screen

Here is the default welcome screen when using a Mageia DVD:

From this first screen, it is possible to set some personal preferences:

The language (for the installation only, may be different that the chosen language for the system) by pressing the key F2

Use the arrow keys to select the language and press the key Enter.

Here is for example, the French welcome screen when using a Live DVD/CD. Note that the Live DVD/CD menu does not propose: Rescue System, Memory test and Hardware Detection Tool.

Change the screen resolution by pressing the F3 key.

Add some kernel options by pressing the F6 key.

If the installation fails, then it may be necessary to try again using one of the extra options. The menu called by F6 displays a new line called Boot options and propose four entries:

- Default, it doesn't alter anything in the default options.

- Safe Settings, priority is given to the safer options to the detriment of performances.

- No ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), power management isn't taken into account.

- No Local APIC (Local Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller), it is about CPU interruptions, select this option if you are asked for.

When you select one of these entries, it modifies the default options displayed in the Boot Options line.

Notatka

In some Mageia releases, it may happen that the entries selected with the key F6 does not appear in the Boot Options line, however, they are really taken into account.

Add more kernel options by pressing the key F1

Pressing F1 opens a new window with more available options. Select one with the arrow keys and press Enter to have more details or press the Esc key to go back to the welcome screen.

The detailed view about the option splash. Press Esc or select Return to Boot Options to go back to the options list. These options can by added by hand in the Boot options line.

Notatka

The help is translated in the chosen language with the F2 key.

Here is the default welcome screen when using a Wired Network-based Installation CD (Boot.iso or Boot-Nonfree.iso images):

It does not allow to change the language, the available options are described in the screen. For more information about using a Wired Network-based Installation CD, see the Mageia Wiki

Ostrzeżenie

The keyboard layout is the American one.

Etapy instalacji

Proces instalacji jest podzielony na kilka etapów, możesz je śledzić po lewej stronie ekranu instalatora.

Każdy etap zawiera jeden lub więcej ekranów, które mogą także mieć przycisk Zaawansowane, który umożliwia dostęp do rzadziej używanych opcji.

Większość ekranów posiada przycisk Pomoc, który pozwala na zapoznanie się z wyjaśnieniami dotyczącymi aktualnego etapu instalacji.

Notatka

Jeśli w którymś momencie instalacji zdecydujesz się ją przerwać, istnieje możliwość ponownego uruchomienia komputera, lecz należy sie nad tym poważnie zastanowić. W chwili gdy partycje zostały już sformatowane lub rozpoczęła się instalacja pakietów, twój komputer nie jest już w takim samym stanie jak wcześniej, ponowne uruchomienie w tym momencie najprawdopodobniej spowoduje, że system nie będzie zdatny do użytku. Jeśli masz pewność, że chcesz ponownie uruchomić komputer, możesz przejśc do terminala tekstowego wciskając jednocześnie klawiszeAlt Ctrl F2. Następnie zrebootuj komputer za pomocą klawiszy Alt Ctrl Delete.

Problemy z instalacją oraz możliwe rozwiązania

Brak graficznego interfejsu

Po ekranie powitalnym nie wyświetla się ekran wyboru języka. To może się zdarzyć dla niektórych kart graficznych lub starszych komputerów. Spróbuj użyć niskiej rozdzielczości wpisując w linii komend vgalo.

If the hardware is very old, a graphical installation may not be possible. In this case it is worth trying a text mode installation. To use this hit ESC at the first welcome screen and confirm with ENTER. You will be presented with a black screen with the word "boot:". Type "text" and hit ENTER. Now continue with the installation in text mode.

Zawieszenie się instalacji

Jeśli system zawiesi się podczas instalacji, może to oznaczać problem z detekcją sprzętu. W tym przypadku automatyczna detekcja sprzętu może zostać pominięta. Wpisz w linii komend noauto. Ta opcja może być łączona z innymi opcjami jeśli zajdzie taka potrzeba.

RAM problem

To są rzadkie przypadki, jednak czasem zdarza się, że system zgłasza niepoprawnie ilość dostępnej pamięci RAM. Aby określić ją manualnie wpisz parametr mem=xxxM, gdzie xxx jest poprawną ilością dostępnej pamięci RAM wyrażoną w MB, np. mem=256M oznacza 256MB.

Dynamic partitions

If you converted your hard disk from "basic" format to "dynamic" format on Microsoft Windows, you must know that it is impossible to install Mageia on this disc. To go back to a basic disk, see the Microsoft documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776315.aspx.

Wybór języka

Wybierz preferowany język, najpierw rozwijając listę dla swojego kontynentu. Mageia będzie używać wybranego języka zarówno podczas instalacji jak i w zainstalowanym systemie.

Jeśli potrzebujesz mieć kilka języków zainstalowanych w systemie, dla siebie lub innych użytkowników, możesz użyć przycisku Więcej języków aby je teraz dodać.

Ostrzeżenie

Nawet jeśli chcesz zainstalować więcej niż jeden język, musisz najpierw wybrać jeden z nich jako domyślny w głównym oknie wyboru języka. Będzie on również zaznaczony jako domyślny w oknie wyboru wielu języków.

Jeśli język twojej klawiatury nie jest taki sam jak język, który wybierasz jako domyślny, należy zainstalować także język odpowiedni do twojej klawiatury.

Mageia używa domyślnie kodowania UTF-8 (Unikod). Jeśli wiesz, że to kodowanie nie jest odpowiednie dla twojego języka, możesz wyłączyć wsparcie dla UTF-8 w oknie "więcej języków". Będzie to dotyczyć wszystkich zainstalowanych języków.

Po instalacji możesz zmienic domyslny język uzywany w systemie za pomocą Centrum Sterowania Mageia -> System -> Zarządzanie lokalizacją systemu

Licencja oraz informacje o wydaniu

Umowa licencyjna

Przed instalacją Mageia, proszę przeczytać uważnie warunki umowy licencyjnej.

Warunki umowy licencyjnej odnoszą się do całej dystrybucji Mageia i muszą być zaakceptowane przed kontynuacją instalacji.

Aby zaakceptować po prostu wybierz Akceptuj i kliknij Dalej.

Jeśli zdecydujesz że nie zgadzasz się na warunki licencji, dziękujemy za zainteresowanie. Kliknięcie Zakończ spowoduje ponowne uruchomienie komputera.

Informacje o wydaniu

Aby zobaczyć co nowego w tym wydaniu Mageia, Kliknij Informacje na temat wydania.

Setup SCSI

DrakX usually detects hard disks correctly. With some older SCSI controllers it may be unable to determine the correct drivers to use and subsequently fail to recognise the drive.

If this happens, you will need to manually tell Drakx which SCSI drive(s) you have.

DrakX should then be able to configure the drive(s) correctly.

Install or Upgrade

Zainstaluj

Use this option for a fresh Mageia installation.

Upgrade

If you have one or more Mageia installations on your system, the installer will allow you to upgrade one of them to the latest release.

Ostrzeżenie

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 had already reached its End Of Life when this one was released, then it is better to do a clean install while preserving your /home partition.

Notatka

If during install you decide to stop the installation, it is possible to reboot, but please think twice before you do this. Once a partition has been formatted or updates have started to be installed, your computer isn't in the same state anymore and rebooting it could very well leave you with an unusable system. If in spite of that you are very sure rebooting is what you want, go to a text terminal by pressing the three keys Alt Ctrl F2 at the same time. After that, press Alt Ctrl Delete simultaneously to reboot.

Podpowiedź

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 Alt Ctrl Home. Do not do this later in the install.

Klawiatura

DrakX selects an appropriate keyboard for your language. If no suitable keyboard is found it will default to a US keyboard layout.

Make sure that the selection is correct or choose another keyboard layout. If you don't know which layout your keyboard has, look in the specifications that came with your system, or ask the computer vendor. There may even be a label on the keyboard that identifies the layout. You can also look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout

If your keyboard isn't in the list shown, click on More to get a full list, and select your keyboard there.

Ostrzeżenie

After choosing a keyboard from the More dialog, you'll return to the first keyboard choice dialog and it will seem as though a keyboard from that screen was chosen. You can safely ignore this anomaly and continue the installation: Your keyboard is the one you chose from the full list.

If you choose a keyboard based on non-Latin characters, you will see an extra dialog screen asking how you would prefer to switch between the Latin and non-Latin keyboard layouts

Partycjonowanie

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.

Użyj istniejących partycji

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

Wykorzystaj wolne miejsce

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

Wykorzystaj wolne miejsce na partycji 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.

Wymaż i wykorzystaj cały dysk

This option will use the complete drive for Mageia.

Note! This will erase ALL data on the selected hard drive. Take care!

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.

Własne

This gives you complete control over the placing of the installation on your hard drive(s).

Ostrzeżenie

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:

"Align to" "MiB"

"Free space preceding (MiB)" "2"

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

Wybierz punkty montowania

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.

Notatka

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.

Ostrzeżenie

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.

Zaawansowany podział na partycje za pomocą DiskDrake

Ostrzeżenie

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.

Click Done when you're ready.

Formatowanie

Tutaj możesz wybrać, które partycje chcesz sformatować. Wszystkie dane na partycjach nie zaznaczonych do formatowania zostaną zachowane.

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

Podpowiedź

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.

Wybór nośników (konfiguracja dodatkowych nośników instalacyjnych)

Ten ekran pokazuje listę znalezionych nośników. Możesz dodać inne nośniki instalacyjne, jak dysk cd/dvd lub zdalny serwer sieciowy. Wybór źródeł (nośników) decyduje o tym jakie pakiety będą mogły zostać wybrane podczas następnych kroków.

Dla nośników sieciowych, wymagane są dwa kroki:

Wybór i aktywacja połączenia sieciowego, jeśli jeszcze nie zostało ustanowione.

Wybór mirrora lub podanie adresu URL. Wybierając mirror masz dostęp do wszystkich repozytoriów udostępnianych przez Mageię, jak Nonfree, Tainted oraz Updates. Za pomocą URL możesz określić jakiekolwiek repozytorium lub swój własny mirror np. NFS.

Wybór nośników (Nonfree)

Tutaj jest lista dostępnych repozytoriów. Nie wszystkie repozytoria są dostępne, zależy to od nośników jakie wykorzystujesz do instalacji. Wybór repozytoriów ma wpływ na to jakie pakiety będzie można zainstalować w następnych krokach.

Repozytorium Core nie może zostać wyłączone ponieważ zawiera ono podstawowe pakiety dystrybucji.

Repozytorium Nonfree zawiera pakiety wolne od opłat, które mogą być udostępniane przez Mageię, lecz zawierają oprogramowanie do którego źródła nie są dostępne (stąd nazwa - Nonfree). To repozytorium zawiera np. własnościowe sterowniki do kart graficznych nVidia oraz ATI, firmware dla niektórych kart WIFI, itp.

Repozytorium Tainted zawiera pakiety wydane na wolnych licencjach. Głównym powodem umieszczenia tych pakietów w tym repozytorium jest fakt, że mogą one naruszać prawa patentowe w niektórych krajach, np. kodeki multimedialne, pakiety potrzebne do odtwarzania komercyjnych płyt DVD, itp.

Wybór pulpitu

Depending on your selection here, you may be offered further screens to fine tune your choice.

After the selection step(s), you will see a slide show during package installation. The slide show can be disabled by pressing the Details button

Choose whether you prefer to use the KDE or Gnome desktop environment. Both come with a full set of useful applications and tools. Tick Custom if you want to use neither or both, or if you want something other than the default software choices for these desktop environments. The LXDE desktop is lighter than the previous two, sporting less eye candy and fewer packages installed by default.

Wybór grup pakietów

Packages have been sorted into groups, to make choosing what you need on your system a lot easier. The groups are fairly self explanatory, however more information about the content of each is available in tool-tips which become visible as the mouse is hovered over them.

Stacja robocza

Środowisko graficzne

Individual Package Selection: You can use this option to manually add or remove packages.

Read „Minimalna instalacja” for instructions on how to do a minimal install.

Minimalna instalacja

You can choose a Minimal Installation by de-selecting everything in the Package Group Selection screen, see „Wybór grup pakietów”.

Minimal Installation is intended for those with specific uses in mind for their Mageia, such as a server or a specialised workstation. You will probably use this option combined with Manual Package Selection, see „Samodzielny wybór pakietów”.

If you choose this installation class, then the related screen will offer you a few useful extras to install, such as documentation and X.

Samodzielny wybór pakietów

Here you can add or remove any extra packages to customise your installation.

After having made your choice, you can click on the floppy icon at the bottom of the page to save your choice of packages (saving to a USB key works, too). You can then use this file to install the same packages on another system, by pressing the same button during install and choosing to load it.

Zarządzanie użytkownikami

Ustawienie hasła administratora (root):

It is advisable for all Mageia installations to set a superuser or administrator's password, usually called the root password in Linux. As you type a password into the top box the colour of its shield will change from red to yellow to green depending on the strength of the password. A green shield shows you are using a strong password. You need to repeat the same password in the box just below the first password box, this checks that you have not mistyped the first password by comparing them.

Notatka

All passwords are case sensitive, it is best to use a mixture of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and other characters in a password.

Dodaj użytkownika

Add a user here. A user has fewer rights than the superuser (root), but enough to surf the internet, use office applications or play games and anything else the average user does with his computer

Ikona: użycie tego przycisku zmieni ikonę użytkownika.

Imię i nazwisko: Wpisz swoje imię i nazwisko do tego pola tekstowego

Nazwa użytkownika: Tutaj wpisz nazwę użytkownika - będzie ona używana podczas logowania. Możesz też pozwolić, aby instalator wygenerował nazwę na podstawie imienia i nazwiska. Wielkość liter ma znaczenie.

Hasło: W tym polu wpisz hasło użytkownika. Pojawi się w nim ikonka tarczy, która oznacza siłę hasła (Zobacz również Notatka)

Hasło (powtórnie): Wpisz powtórnie hasło użytkownika w tym polu, instalator sprawdzi czy hasła się zgadzają.

Notatka

Wszyscy użytkownicy, których dodasz podczas instalacji Magei, będą mieli katalogi domowe (dostępne do odczytu dla każdego, ale do zapisu tylko dla danego użytkownika)

However, while using your new install, any user you add in MCC - System - Manage users on system will have a home directory that is both read and write protected.

If you don't want a world readable home directory for anyone, it is advised to only add a temporary user now and to add the real one(s) after reboot.

If you prefer world readable home directories, you might want to add all extra needed users in the Configuration - Summary step during the install. Choose User management.

Ustawienia dostępu mogą być również zmienione po instalacji.

Zaawansowane Zarządzanie Użytkownikami

If the advanced button is clicked you are offered a screen that allows you to edit the settings for the user you are adding. Additionally, you can disable or enable a guest account.

Ostrzeżenie

Anything a guest with a default rbash guest account saves to his /home directory will be erased when he logs out. The guest should save his important files to a USB key.

Enable guest account: Here you can enable or disable a guest account. The guest account allows a guest to log into and use the PC, but he has more restricted access than normal users.

Shell: This drop down list allows you to change the shell used by the user you are adding in the previous screen, options are Bash, Dash and Sh

User ID: Here you can set the user ID for the user you are adding in the previous screen. This is a number. Leave it blank unless you know what you are doing.

Group ID: This lets you set the group ID. Also a number, usually the same one as for the user. Leave it blank unless you know what you are doing.

Graphic Card and Monitor Configuration

No matter which graphical environment (also known as desktop environment) you chose for this install of Mageia, they are all based on a graphical user interface system called X Window System, or simply X. So in order for KDE, Gnome, LXDE or any other graphical environment to work well, the following X settings need to be correct. Choose the correct settings if you can see that DrakX didn't make a choice, or if you think the choice is incorrect.

Karta graficzna: Wybierz swoją kartę graficzną z listy.

Monitor: You can choose Plug'n Play when applicable, or choose your monitor from the Vendor or Generic list. Choose Custom if you prefer to manually set the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your monitor.

Ostrzeżenie

Niepoprawna wartość odświeżania może uszkodzić monitor

Resolution: Set the desired resolution and color depth of your monitor here.

Test: The test button does not always appear during install. If the button is there, you can control your settings by pressing it. If you see a question asking you whether your settings are correct, you can answer "yes", and the settings will be kept. If you don't see anything, you'll return to the configuration screen and be able to reconfigure everything until the test is good. Make sure your settings are on the safe side if the test button isn't available

Options: Here you can choose to enable or disable various options.

Choose an X Server (Configure your Graphic Card)

DrakX has a very comprehensive database of video cards and will usually correctly identify your video device.

If the installer has not correctly detected your graphic card and you know which one you have, you can select it from the tree by:

dostawca

następnie nazwa karty

oraz typ karty

If you cannot find your card in the vendor lists (because it's not yet in the database or it's an older card) you may find a suitable driver in the Xorg category

The Xorg listing provides more than 40 generic and open source video card drivers. If you still can't find a named driver for your card there is the option of using the vesa driver which provides basic capabilities.

Be aware that if you select an incompatible driver you may only have access to the Commandline Interface.

Niektórzy producenci kart graficznych udostępniają własnościowe sterowniki dla Linuksa, które mogą być umieszczone jedynie w repozytorium Nonfree, w niektórych przypadkach są one dostępne jedynie na stronie producenta.

Aby je zainstalować musi być włączone repozytorium Nonfree. Jeśli nie włączono tego repozytorium wcześniej, należy je włączyć po ponownym uruchomieniu komputera.

Wybór monitora

DrakX has a very comprehensive database of monitors and will usually correctly identify yours.

Ostrzeżenie

Selecting a monitor with different characteristics could damage your monitor or video hardware. Please don't try something without knowing what you are doing. If in doubt you should consult your monitor documentation

Własny

This option allows you to set two critical parameters, the vertical refresh rate and the horizontal sync rate. Vertical refresh determines how often the screen is refreshed and horizontal sync is the rate at which scan lines are displayed.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not specify a monitor type with a sync range that is beyond the capabilities of your monitor: you may damage your monitor. If in doubt, choose a conservative setting and consult your monitor documentation.

Plug 'n Play

This is the default option and tries to determine the monitor type from the monitor database.

Dostawca

If the installer has not correctly detected your monitor and you know which one you have, you can select it from the tree by selecting:

dostawca

the monitor manufacturers name

the monitor description

Generic

selecting this group displays nearly 30 display configurations such as 1024x768 @ 60Hz and includes Flat panel displays as used in laptops. This is often a good monitor selection group if you need to use the Vesa card driver when your video hardware cannot be determined automatically. Once again it may be wise to be conservative in your selections.

Podstawowe opcje programu rozruchowego

If you prefer different bootloader settings to those chosen automatically by the installer, you can change them here.

You may already have another operating system on your machine, in which case you need to decide whether to add Mageia to your existing bootloader, or allow Mageia to create a new one.

Podpowiedź

The Mageia graphical menus are nice :)

Using a Mageia bootloader

By default, Mageia writes a new GRUB (legacy) bootloader into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your first hard drive. If you already have other operating systems installed, Mageia attempts to add them to your new Mageia boot menu.

Mageia now also offers GRUB2 as an optional bootloader in addition to GRUB legacy and Lilo.

Ostrzeżenie

Linux systems which use the GRUB2 bootloader are not currently supported by GRUB (legacy) and will not be recognised if the default GRUB bootloader is used.

The best solution here is to use the GRUB2 bootloader which is available at the Summary page during installation.

Using an existing bootloader

If you decide to use an existing bootloader then you will need to remember to STOP at the summary page during the installation and click the Bootloader Configure button, which will allow you to change the bootloader install location.

Do not select a device e.g."sda", or you will overwrite your existing MBR. You must select the root partition that you chose during the partitioning phase earlier, e.g. sda7.

To be clear, sda is a device, sda7 is a partition on that device.

Podpowiedź

Go to tty2 with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and type df to check where your / (root) partition is. Ctrl+Alt+F7 takes you back to the installer screen.

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.

Bootloader advanced option

If you have very limited disk space for the / partition that contains /tmp, click on Advanced and check the box for Clean /tmp at each boot. This helps to maintain some free space.

Add or Modify a Boot Menu Entry

You can add an entry or modify the one you select first, by pressing the relevant button in the Bootloader Configuration screen and editing the screen that pops up on top of it.

Notatka

If you have chosen Grub 2 as your bootloader, you cannot use this tool to edit entries at this step, press 'Next'. You need to manually edit /boot/grub2/custom.cfg or use grub-customizer instead.

Some things that can be done without any risk, are changing the label of an entry and ticking the box to make an entry the default one.

You can add the proper version number of an entry, or rename it completely.

The default entry is the one the systems boots into if you don't make a choice while booting up.

Ostrzeżenie

Editing other things can leave you with an unbootable system. Please don't just try something without knowing what you are doing.

Summary of miscellaneous parameters

DrakX made smart choices for the configuration of your system depending on the choices you made and on the hardware DrakX detected. You can check the settings here and change them if you want after pressing Configure.

System parameters

Strefa czasowa

DrakX selected a time zone for you, depending on your preferred language. You can change it if needed. See also „Konfiguruj strefę czasową”

Country / Region

If you are not in the selected country, it is very important that you correct the setting. See „Select your Country / Region”

Bootloader

DrakX has made good choices for the bootloader setting.

Do not change anything, unless you know how to configure Grub and/or Lilo

For more information, see „Podstawowe opcje programu rozruchowego”

User management

You can add extra users here. They will each get their own /home directories.

Usługi:

System services refer to those small programs which run the background (daemons). This tool allows you to enable or disable certain tasks.

You should check carefully before changing anything here - a mistake may prevent your computer from operating correctly.

For more information, see „Konfiguracja usług”

Hardware parameters

Klawiatura:

This is where you setup or change your keyboard layout which will depend on your location, language or type of keyboard.

Mysz:

Here you can add or configure other pointing devices, tablets, trackballs etc.

Karta dźwiękowa:

The installer uses the default driver, if there is a default one. The option to select a different driver is only given when there is more than one driver for your card, but none of them is the default one.

Graphical interface:

This section allows you to configure your graphic card(s) and displays.

For more information, see „Graphic Card and Monitor Configuration”.

Network and Internet parameters

Sieć:

You can configure your network here, but for network cards with non-free drivers it is better to do that after reboot, in the Mageia Control Center, if you have not yet enabled the Nonfree media repositories.

Ostrzeżenie

When you add a network card, do not forget to set your firewall to watch that interface as well.

Proxies:

A Proxy Server acts as an intermediary between your computer and the wider internet. This section allows you to configure your computer to utilize a proxy service.

You may need to consult your systems administrator to get the parameters you need to enter here

Bezpieczeństwo

Security Level:

Here you set the Security level for your computer, in most cases the default setting (Standard) is adequate for general use.

Check the option which best suits your usage.

Firewall:

A firewall is intended to be a barrier between your important data and the rascals out there on the internet who would compromise or steal it.

Select the services that you wish to have access to your system. Your selections will depend on what you use your computer for.

Ostrzeżenie

Bear in mind that allowing everything (no firewall) may be very risky.

Konfiguruj strefę czasową

Wybierz swoją strefę czasową poprzez wybranie swojego kraju lub miasta w pobliżu w tej samej strefie czasowej.

In next screen you can choose to set your hardware clock to local time or to GMT, also known as UTC.

Notatka

If you have more than one operating system on your computer, make sure they are all set to local time, or all to UTC/GMT.

Select your Country / Region

Select your country or region. This is important for all kinds of settings, like the currency and wireless regulatory domain. Setting the wrong country can lead to not being able to use a Wireless network.

If your country isn't in the list, click the Other Countries button and choose your country / region there.

Notatka

If your country is only in the Other Countries list, after clicking OK it may seem a country from the first list was chosen. Please ignore this, DrakX will follow your real choice.

Input method

In the Other Countries screen you can also select an input method (at the bottom of the list). Input methods allow users to input multilingual characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc). IBus is the default input method in Mageia DVDs, Africa/India and Asia/no-India Live-CDs. For Asian and African locales, IBus will be set as default input method so users should not need to configure it manually. Other input methods(SCIM, GCIN, HIME, etc) also provide similar functions and can be installed if you added HTTP/FTP media before package selection.

Notatka

If you missed the input method setup during installation, you can access it after you boot your installed system via "Configure your Computer" -> "System", or by running localedrake as root.

Konfiguracja usług

Here you can set which services should (not) start when you boot your system.

There are four groups, click on the triangle before a group to expand it and see all services in it.

The setting DrakX chose are usually good.

If you highlight a service, some information about it is shown in the info box below.

Only change things when you know very well what you are doing.

Wybierz mysz

If you are not happy with how your mouse responds, you can select a different one here.

Usually, Universal - Any PS/2 and USB mice is a good choice.

Select Universal - Force evdev to configure the buttons that do not work on a mouse with six or more buttons.

Konfiguracja dźwięku

In this screen the name of the driver that the installer chose for your sound card is given, which will be the default driver if we have a default one.

The default driver should work without problems. However, if after install you do encounter problems, then run draksound or start this tool via MCC (Mageia Control Center), by choosing the Hardware tab and clicking on Sound Configuration at the top right of the screen.

Then, in the draksound or "Sound Configuration" tool screen, click on Advanced and then on Troubleshooting to find very useful advice about how to solve the problem.

Zaawansowane

Clicking Advanced in this screen, during install, is useful if there is no default driver and there are several drivers available, but you think the installer selected the wrong one.

In that case you can select a different driver after clicking on Let me pick any driver.

Poziom bezpieczeństwa

You can adjust your security level here.

Leave the default settings as they are, if you don't know what to choose.

After install, it will always be possible to adjust your security settings in the Security part of the Mageia Control Center.

Uninstalling Mageia

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.
