Välj och använd ISO-filer

Presentation

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

There are three types of installation media:

  • Classical installer: Booting with this media provides you with the maximum flexibility when choosing what to install, and for configuring your system. In particular, you have a choice of which Desktop environment to install.

  • LIVE media: This option allows you to try out Mageia without having to actually install it, or make any changes to your computer. However, the Live media also includes an Installer, which can be started when booting the media, or after booting into the Live operating system itself.

    Notera

    The Live Installer is simpler compared to the Classical Installer - but you have fewer configuration options.

    Viktigt

    Live ISOs can only be used to create clean installations, they cannot be used to upgrade previously installed Mageia releases.

  • Net Install: These are minimal ISO's containing 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 if bandwidth is too low to download a full DVD, or if you have a PC without a DVD drive or is unable to boot from a USB stick.

More details are given in the next sections.

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 medium (DVD, USB stick, ...) the ISO file is copied to.

Du kan hitta ISO-filer för Mageia här.

Klassiska installtionsmedier

Vanliga funktioner
  • De här ISO-filerna använder den klassiska installeraren som kallas DrakX

  • They are used for performing clean installs or to upgrade a previously installed version of Mageia

  • Olika media för 32 och 64-bitars arkitekturer

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

  • Varje DVD innehåller många tillgängliga skrivbordsmiljöer och språk

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

Live media

Vanliga funktioner
  • Can be used to preview the Mageia operating system without having to install it

  • Live-mediet inkluderar också en installerare.

  • Varje ISO innehåller endast en skrivbordsmiljö (Plasma, GNOME eller Xfce)

  • Olika media för 32 och 64-bitars arkitekturer

  • De innehåller icke-fri mjukvara

Laddar ner och kontrollerar media

Hämtar

Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it using either http or BitTorrent. In both cases, you are provided with some information, such as the mirror in use and an option to switch to an alternative if the bandwidth is too low.

If http is chosen you will also see some information regarding checksums.

md5sum, sha1sum and sha512sum (the most secure) are tools to check the ISO integrity. Copy one of the checksums (string of alphanumeric characters) for use in the next section.

In the meantime, a window to download the actual ISO will open:

Klicka på Spara fil, klicka sen på OK.

Kontrollerar integriteten på nerladdad media

The checksums referred to earlier, are digital fingerprints generated by an algorithm from the file to be downloaded. You may compare the checksum of your downloaded ISO against that of the original source ISO. If the checksums do not match, it means that the actual data on the ISO's do not match, and if that is the case, then you should retry the download or attempt a repair using BitTorrent.

To generate the checksum for your downloaded ISO, open a console, (no need to be root), and:

  • To use the md5sum, type: md5sum path/to/the/image/file.iso

  • To use the sha1sum, type: sha1sum path/to/the/image/file.iso

  • To use the sha512sum, type: sha512sum path/to/the/image/file.iso

Exempel:

then compare the result (you may have to wait for a while) with the ISO checksum provided by Mageia.

Bränn eller dumpa ISO-filen.

The verified ISO can now be burned to a CD/DVD or dumped to a USB stick. This is not a standard copy operation, as a bootable medium will actually be created.

Att bränna ISO-filen till en CD/DVD

Whichever software you use, ensure that the option to burn an image is used. Burn data or files is NOT correct. See the the Mageia wiki for more information.

Dumpa ISOn till ett USB-minne

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

Varning

Dumping an image onto a flash device destroys any previous file-system on the device and all existing data will be lost.

Notera

Also, the only partition on the flash device will then just be the Mageia ISO partition.

So, if an ISO of about 4GB is written to an 8GB USB stick, the stick will then only show up as 4GB. This is because the remaining 4GB is no longer formatted - hence not currently available for use. To recover the original capacity, you must reformat and repartition the USB stick.

Använda ett grafiskt verktyg i Mageia

Du kan använda ett grafiskt verktyg som t. ex. IsoDumper

Använda ett grafiskt verktyg i Windows

Du kan prova:

Using the Command line within a GNU/Linux system

Varning

It is potentially *dangerous* to do this by hand. You risk overwriting potentially valuable existing data if you specify the wrong target device.

  1. Öppna en konsol

  2. Become a root (Administrator) user with the command su - (don't forget the - )

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

  4. Skriv kommandot fdisk -l

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

    Alternatively, you can find the device name with the command dmesg. Towards the end of the following example, you can see the device name starting with sd, and in this case, sdd is the actual device. You can also see that its size is 2GB:

    [72595.969446] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk
  6. Skriv kommandot: dd if=genväg/till/ISO of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

    Där X=namnet på din enhet t.ex: /dev/sdd

    Example: dd if=/home/user/Downloads/Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=1M

    Tips

    It might be helpful to know that if stands for input file and of stands for output file

  7. Skriv kommandot: sync

  8. This is the end of the process, and you may now unplug your USB stick.
