Getting started with Clear Linux* OS for Intel® Architecture
|
||||
############################################################
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to give Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture a spin is to download a
|
||||
recent KVM image from the `image directory <http://download.clearlinux.org/image/>`_
|
||||
on our download page. This directory contains a current image, the UEFI firmware
|
||||
helper and the KVM start helper script. See :ref:`gs_running_clr_virtual` for details.
|
||||
There are a number of ways to download and run Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture.
|
||||
All of the images are in our `image directory <http://download.clearlinux.org/image/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
KVM Image
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
Download a recent KVM image along with the UEFI firmware
|
||||
helper ``OVMF.fd`` and the KVM start helper script ``start_qemu.sh.``
|
||||
See :ref:`gs_running_clr_virtual` for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Live Image
|
||||
==========
|
||||
With the live image you can boot right into Clear in a VM or, or lay the image down
|
||||
on a USB drive with a tool like ``dd`` and boot from USB. This is a great
|
||||
way to kick the tires with a minimal amount of effort.
|
||||
|
||||
Installer Image
|
||||
===============
|
||||
The installer image allows you to manipulate and target partitions, and set
|
||||
other OS configuration features (hostname, administrative user) commonly found in
|
||||
Linux Installers. See :ref:`gs_installing_clr_as_host` on a target computer for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
**CAUTION** If you do not manually configure the install and
|
||||
instead but instead use the auto-install, it will repartition ``/dev/sda``.
|
||||
|
||||
Provisioning Image
|
||||
==================
|
||||
**CAUTION:** This image is intended to be used in a provioning environment - the installer will
|
||||
repartition /dev/sda and install Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture into the new
|
||||
partition. Don't use this on a system where you care about the data on ``/dev/sda``.
