Before
you install Zeta, make sure that you back up all the data stored
on your computer, on all partitions (and for all operating systems).
If you initialize wrong partitions, all data on that partition will
be lost!
After having made the needed backup, put in the CD and boot from
it. To be able to boot from the CD, you might need to access the
computer's BIOS to enable that option. When you start the computer,
an option will appear for a few seconds on your screen:
Press F2 to enter setup.

As Zeta loads, each icon will light up. If the boot process at
some points stop up. Shut down your computer, boot from the CD again,
and as the bootloader starts, press the Space key. You
will now access Zeta's SDK.
Language
Zeta comes with support for several languages, but comes with
English (US) as default. As you boot up the CD, the first window
that appears, is one that lets you choose the language you want
to use for the installation procedure. If you feel more comfortable
installing Zeta in your native language, you can click on the pop-down
menu and choose it. If you later want to choose another language,
this can be done in the Preference application Locale.
If there is something you need with help with, you can access this
user manual from the question mark icon. When you have chosen your
preferred language, click next.

License Agreement
The next window that will appear contains the YELLOWTAB - END
USER LICENSE AGREEMENT. Read it carefully. If you choose to agree
to it, press Agree and the Installer will start up.
Other wise press Disagree.

The Installer
Zeta comes with it's own Installer. You can choose between three
installation configurations: Normal install, Minimum install
and Custom install. The Normal install is yellowTAB's
recommended installation configuration for new users, as it gives
you all the software you need for the everyday use. The minimum
install should only be used if you have a small hard disk or
want to download the latest software available from the Internet.
Custom install is recommended for the more advanced users.

Destination drive
After having chosen the install configuration, you must choose which
partition or hard disk you want to install Zeta on to. The Installer
will then install your chosen installation on to your system.
The installation starts when you press Install Zeta.
More about Custom install
By choosing to do a Custom install, you will be able to
choose what application to be installed and what not. This installation
procedure is only recommended for the a bit more advanced users.
If you choose your own defined installation, you can checkmark
the applications that you want to install. Note that you can't uncheck
the applications that comes with the Base Installation.

Description
yellowTAB has added a short description of all applications
available in the Installer, to make it easier for you to choose
what applications to install.
Screenshot
To make it even easier for you to choose the applications to install,
yellowTAB has added screenshots of all applications that have a
graphical user interface.
By clicking on the screenshots, the Installer will show them in
full size.

In this mode the Installer also gives you the option
to select what source you want to install from. If you already have
Zeta installed on a drive, you can choose that drive instead of
the CD.
Before installing Zeta, you may want to
partition the hard disk on your computer. Clicking Setup Partitions
will start the application DriveSetup.
When you have chosen which files to install, press Install Zeta
and the actual installation will begin. Depending on the programs
you have chosen to install, the installation could take from 10
to 30 minutes. Don't rush in to getting Zeta installed, allow yourself
enough time to do it properly.

Installing a Bootloader
The last stage in the installation process is to choose whether
to install Zeta's own bootloader or not. You can read more about
installing a bootloader in "BootMan".
