Introduction
This is a manual about the installation of Pardus 2011 next to Windows on your computer.
This manual is based on Pardus 2011.1 Dama dama 32/64-bit, which can be downloaded from here.
After applying this manual, you get a computer on which you get the choice of
Pardus
or
Windows
to start at power-up of the PC.
Warning
When you plan to install Pardus Linux together with Windows (a so-called dual-boot system), it is advisable to have Windows already installed before you install Pardus.
In order to install Pardus it is necessary to resize the Windows partition. Although this process is nearly always without a problem, it is highly recommended to make a backup of your personal data on the Windows partition.
Look here for a manual on how to image(backup) a partition/disk to a remote computer and can also be used to store to a second (USB) hard disk .
The installation
Yali (Yet Another Linux Installer) is the installation program of Pardus. You don't need to be a Linux expert (although it doesn't harm....) to install Pardus with the help of Yali on your computer. For the novice Linux user it will be very easy to do.
Hint: connect and power up all equipment to your computer .
Language selection
At [1] an active timer is shown. The selected language can be changed at [2].
When no keys are activated, the installation will start after ~10 seconds when the timer has finished.
After selecting another language, use the Enter key (2x) to start the installation.
At the bottom some other options for installation are shown with the corresponding Fn key.
The Linux kernel is loaded and some other stuff. It will take some seconds before the next screen is shown, so be patient.
License
This screen is about the GPL license of the Pardus software. You can read the GPL license at [2].
At [5] it's possible to read about the new features of Pardus 2011.1 and at [4] to exit the installation or to restart Yali when required.
Of course we will put a mark at [1] and continue at Next[3]
Media validation
In order to minimize the change on errors during the installation, it is highly recommended to perform this test.
In this screen we can test [1] for errors on the DVD/USB medium. Screen [2] will be shown during the validation.
When this check is successful [3], continue at [4].
