The general steps to follow for the installation of this operating system, in
most of its distributions, are summarized in the following steps:
Installation process:
❖
Language Choice: The installation program gives us the possibility
to configure our system in a large number of languages that exist
❖
Acceptance of the license agreement with the company that owns
the distribution we own
❖
Configuration of the type and model of our keyboard and mouse
❖
Choice of security level: In which there are four default security
levels to choose from, depending on the use of the computer on which
we are performing this installation, being able to choose levels from
an internet client to a server with a large number of connections to
support
❖
Partitioning: One of the main concepts to consider before
installation is partitio n
Each operating system organizes the information of the files it contains
differently, using your own file system. For reference, the file system name
of different operating systems:
This generally prevents multiple mixed operating systems from being
installed on the same hard drive. To solve this problem there are the so-
called partitions with which a certain hard disk is divided so that it can
contain both file systems. For all purposes, making a partition is equivalent
to the hard drive is divided into two, although of course it is not divided
into a physical but logical way. The fundamental problems when installing
Linux come from the fact that in most cases the user wants to keep
Windows and all programs for this system. There are currently several
distributions that allow the installation of Linux on a Windows file system,
either in what is called an image disk (A very large file), of the Corel Linux
distributions, or directly in the Windows file system (WinLinux 2000).
However to obtain a good performance it is preferable to install Linux on a
