DrakX will then ask you what installation class you want (figure 6-2) . Here, you will also choose whether you want to perform an installation or an upgrade of an existing Linux-Mandrake system. Choose what suits your situation. You can perform an installation over an existing system, wiping out the old system. You can also do an upgrade to repair an existing system.
This manual will concentrate on the Customized installation class. If you choose Recommended class, simply ignore the steps presented here that only apply to the Customized installation class. If you choose Expert class, it probably means that you have previous experience with GNU/Linux and can go through the various sections without the help of this manual. Be warned that this installation class actually implies that you are an expert, so do not choose it unless you really know what you are doing!
