Welcome! This installation process is outlined in detail in the Vine Linux Installation Guide available from Project Vine. Please read through the entire manual before you begin this installation process.
HTML and Postscript copies of the manual are online, at http://www.redhat.com. There is also an HTML copy on the Vine Linux CD set.
New Feature: Vine Linux 6.2 has a new installation method known as a "partitionless" installation. If your system has a FAT (DOS/Windows) partition with sufficient free space, you can install Vine Linux without repartitioning your hard drive. This option is best suited for people who would like to try Vine Linux with a minimum of disruption to their current system.
Throughout this installation, you will be able to use your mouse to choose different options. You can also navigate the installation using the Tab and Enter keys.
Use the Next and Back buttons to progress through these screens. Click Next to save the information and proceed to the next screen; click Back to move to the previous screen without saving any information.
To minimize this help screen, click on the Hide Help button.
You can cancel this installation at any time up to the Preparing to Install screen. Once you click Next on Preparing to Install, package installation will begin and data will be written to your hard drive. To cancel before this screen, you can safely reboot your system (use the reset button, or Ctrl-Alt-Del).
