Installing Corel LINUX to your computer
Corel Install Express lets you control the Corel LINUX installation process. You can let Corel Install Express choose default options for you and install the most commonly used applications, utilities, and files. This is the recommended installation type for most users. You can also control your Corel LINUX installation by specifying the components to install and where to install them. This installation type lets you install specialized components that are not included in the default installation, or save space on your hard disk.
Corel Install Express also lets you control the Corel LINUX installation for different computer settings. This section describes the following installation scenarios:
Installing Corel LINUX on a computer without an operating system or another Linux operating system
Replacing a Microsoft Windows operating system with Corel LINUX
Installing Corel LINUX to a DOS/Windows partition
Installing Corel LINUX to coexist with another operating system
Floppy boot disk
Some editions of Corel LINUX include the Corel LINUX Installation (bootable) floppy disk. This floppy disk is used if your CD-ROM drive is not bootable. If you require this floppy disk, you can create it using a 3.5" high-density floppy disk. This bootable disk can be created using Microsoft Windows or a Linux operating system.
Updating Corel LINUX installations
After installation, Corel LINUX and its components can be updated if newer versions are available. You can receive information about updates at Corel's Web site at http://linux.corel.com. Corel LINUX includes Corel Update, a utility that informs you when Corel LINUX and other application updates are available and installs them for you. For information about Corel Update, see "Installing, updating, and removing applications."
Uninstalling Corel LINUX
If you want to remove the operating system and all its components from your computer, you need to reformat your hard disk.
Tip
Before installing Corel LINUX, remove all removable media from drives including floppy disks, optical disks, and tapes.
