![]() From any Linux system simply copy the ISO to the USB stick with dd (see example below).From Mint use Minstick, which is similar to IsoDumper.From Ubuntu use the application Disks with the action "Restore an image" and select the.It also supports creating persistence - so the stick remembers your work, settings, system updates, added applications. To dump a Mageia installation or Live ISO on a USB stick, you can choose one of several tools: Unetbootin should not be used to copy the ISO image to a USB drive (see below). To later restore the flash drive to full empty capacity, many popular tools fails - but good methods exist, see Removing the ISO files from USB Media below. "Dumping" an image onto a device destroys access to any previous files! Note you can not copy the file using a file manager, you need a tool to write the file content directly to the root of the device (and not a partition). But please note the size limitation as for example a 4 GB ISO image can be too big for some 4 GB USB drives due to rounding the size to GB. All other need a DVD.Īll Mageia ISOs are hybrid, which means you can 'dump' them on a USB stick and use it to boot, test, and (optionally) install the system. The netinstaller ISOs fits easily on a CD. It is also possible Installing Mageia from ISO on disk. See this article from the Damn Small Linux wiki for a very useful primer on the subject. It is possible to use BitTorrent or wget to rebuild the ISO and download or fix the missing parts. You may not need to download the ISO again. If you have spent a long time downloading an ISO only to find that it fails the checksum test, do not panic. You need both the ISO and the checksum file in the same folder. Open a terminal, as a standard user, and type the command sha512sum /path/to/image/file.iso :įor this example we use the Mageia 7.1 iso image, the folder is /Mageia-7.1-x86_64 the ISO file is Mageia-7.1-x86_64.iso. Either download it again or use the BitTorrent (How to fix a Broken ISO Download) method below. If you ask this algorithm to calculate again this number from your downloaded file, either you have the same number and your downloaded file is correct, or the number is different and your ISO is broken, probably an incomplete download. They have been calculated by an algorithm from the ISO file. ![]() (In the mirror folders they are available as files.) For all except Netinstaller you can choose Bittorent if you like.Ĭhecking the Downloaded Image File Integrity Principleĭid you notice in the Download Mageia page, the hexadecimal number called md5sum, sha512sum or sha3-512sum ? Netinstaller can be found at /mageia/distrib/$RELEASE/$ARCH/install/images/ (i.e ). Use our download page or find the Classic and Live ISOs on your favourite mirror under /mageia/iso/, (i.e ). Most also fits on a 4 GB flash stick, the exception is Mageia 9 64-bit Classic.Īll Mageia ISO images are hybrid, which means you can burn them to a DVD (CD works for netinstall) as well as USB stick and and they can boot. Sizes: All Classic and Live fits on a DVD. Four variants: 32- or 64-bit, with proprietary drivers or not.įor further detail see below under Classic installer ISO, Network Installer ISO, Live ISO.Īlso see our documentation: Select and use ISOs.
