The Installer is used to copy Haiku onto another volume. Upon launch it displays a start window with important information. It's not a mindless EULA you're used to click away in the blink of an eye, it states:

+ +



+

Once you acknowledged with Continue, you're presented with the main window:

+installer.png +

In the first drop-down menu you choose the source for the installation. It can be a currently installed Haiku or can come from an install CD or USB drive, etc.
+The second drop-down menu specifies the target for the installation. This target partition/volume will be completely overwritten and has to be set aside beforehand by a partitioning tool like GParted.

+

Clicking the little expander widget will Show Optional Packages, if available, that you can choose to install in addition to the basic Haiku.

+

You should do a last check if you really picked the right target before starting the installation process. Click on Setup partitions... to open DriveSetup and have a look at the naming and layout of the available volumes and partitions.

+

Begin starts the installation procedure, which basically copies everything but the home/ and common/ folder onto the target volume.

+

If you don't use a bootmanager like GRUB, where you can add Haiku (see start window), you can use the button Write Boot Sector to make it bootable directly.

StyledEdit is Haiku's simple text editor. Although it saves files in plain text format, additional attributes are written in order to have limited formatting capabilities when viewed with StyledEdit.
