Install:

Kwort installation allows you to choose your keyboard map and to test it in a screen dialog. The keyboard map selected here, will be the one configured by default once the system gets installed.

When you have selected your keyboard map Kwort will drive you trough some menus in order to let you configure your hard drive partitions.

Once you have partitioned your system, the installation script search for your installation media. You can install Kwort using a CD-ROM drive or a bootable usb drive (pendrives, zip iomega, etc...). Make sure you have the Kwort CD-ROM in your drive before allowing it to scan.

If you created a swap partition, now is when you can enable it. It will autodetect and display the swap partitions on your hard drive, allowing you to select one to format and enable.

A list of the partitions on your hard disk will be displayed now, so you can choose, at least, your root partition. The first option in the target section is the selection of a partition on which to install your root (/) filesystem. After that, you will be able to map other partitions to filesystems as you choose. (For instance, you may want your third partition, say /dev/hda3, to be your home filesystem. This is just an example; map the partitions as you see fit.)

For each partition, you will be given the option of whether to format that partition or not. You can choose between ext2, ext3 and ext4. Most people use either ext3 or ext4, but ext2 stills an option if you want to use it.

The partition's summary is the content of what will be your fstab when the system gets installed

Distributions are about packages, so the next part is the most important in the installation, as it is when all packages are installed.

Kwort uses Lilo as the boot loader. In the next three steps, you will be able to setup the boot loader.

If Kwort is to be the only operating system on your computer, simple should work just fine for you. If you are dual-booting, the expert option is a better choice. The third option, do not install, is not recommended unless you know what you're doing and have a very good reason for not installing Lilo.

The framebuffer allows you to have some sort of graphics in the console without starting the X environment; for example you can see images (with zgv), play movies (with mplayer) and browse the web seeing graphics (with links2). The next step is telling Lilo if you want to use it (and the resolution) or not.

In order to finally install lilo, you will be given a choice as to where LILO will be put. You may place LILO in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your hard drive, in the superblock of your root Linux partition, or on a floppy disk.

Finally, the last step. Now you'll be prompted so you can set your root password. Remember to create a user to use your system, DO NEVER USE THE ROOT USER AS AN EVERYDAY USER.

If you got through here, then everything is done, and Kwort was successfully installed. Eject your install source and press "Intro" to restart your computer.
