Guest clevermacia Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 K So I downloaded Mandriva One off of http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/mandrivaone But now I have no idea how to install it. Can someone please help me ? Maybe I'm confused .. but I want to install mandriva as an alternate partition to windows xp. Is mandriva one even an OS ? Please help!

neddie Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 That link you pasted says this: A full-featured Mandriva Linux system held on 1 CD, ready for your office, internet and multimedia needs. Try it safely by simply inserting it onto your CD or DVD drive (Live mode), and install it when you decide, from the Desktop!So you can install it, or you can just run it from the CD. So you can try it out without mucking about with your hard drive. More information is at http://www.mandriva.com/en/community/mandrivaone If we can assume that you now have a file called mandriva-one-2007-something.iso, is that right? So if you wanted to try it out you would first need to check that the iso is ok, then burn it onto a CD (as an image!), and then boot from the CD. You can use a CD-RW if you want. However, be aware that what you have is almost certainly Mandriva 2007, which is going to be outdated in a matter of days. The next version is almost almost almost there, and will be called Mandriva 2007.1 Spring. I would recommend you wait a few days for that to be officially released, as the improvements look significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
