DrakX now needs to know if you want to perform a default (Recommended) installation or if you want to have greater control (Expert). You also have the choice of performing a new install or an upgrade of an existing Mandrake Linux system. Clicking Install will completely wipe out the old system. Select Upgrade if you are upgrading or repairing an existing system.
Please choose Install if there are no previous version of Mandrake Linux installed or if you wish to boot between various operating systems.
Please choose Update if you wish to update or repair an already installed version of Mandrake Linux.
Depending on your knowledge of GNU/Linux, please choose one of the following to install or update your Mandrake Linux operating system:
Recommended: choose this if you have never installed a GNU/Linux operating system. The installation will be very easy and you will only be asked a few questions.
Expert: if you have a good knowledge of GNU/Linux, you can choose this installation class. The expert installation will allow you to perform a highly customized installation. Answering some of the questions can be difficult if you do not have a good knowledge of GNU/Linux so do not choose this unless you know what you are doing.
This manual will document the full Expert installation class. If you choose the Recommended class, simply ignore the steps presented here which only apply to the Expert installation class.
