|
|
<p>The Installer is used to copy Haiku onto another volume.<br />
|
|
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:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>This is alpha-quality software. Make backups or suffer the consequences!</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>The Installer needs a prepared partition. You may have to use a <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php">GParted LiveCD</a> or a similar tool until Haiku's DriveSetup is mature enough to handle this task.</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>Haiku can be added manually to the bootmanager <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html">GRUB</a>. In short, you have add an entry to <span class="path">/boot/grub/menu.lst</span> of your Linux installation, similar to this:</p>
|
|
<pre># Haiku on /dev/sda7
|
|
title Haiku
|
|
rootnoverify (hd0,6)
|
|
chainloader +1</pre></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><br /><br /></p>
|
|
<p>Once you acknowledged with <span class="button">Continue</span>, you're presented with the main window:</p>
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/installer.png" alt="installer.png" />
|
|
<p>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.<br />
|
|
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.</p>
|
|
<p>Clicking the little expander widget will <i>Show Optional Packages</i>, if available, that you can choose to install in addition to the basic Haiku.</p>
|
|
<p>You should do a last check if you really picked the right target before starting the installation process. Click on <span class="button">Setup partitions...</span> to open <a href="apps-drivesetup.html">DriveSetup</a> and have a look at the naming and layout of the available volumes and partitions.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="button">Begin</span> starts the installation procedure, which basically copies everything but the <span class="path">home/</span> and <span class="path">common/</span> folder onto the target volume and makes it bootable.</p>
|
|
<p>It can happen that some other operating system or partitioning tool (accidentally) overwrites the boot sector of your Haiku volume. The button <span class="button">Write Boot Sector</span> makes it bootable again.</p>
