The Installation of Zeta and its Applications

You can install Zeta on your computer using the Zeta DVD or CD-ROM installation discs.

If you are creating a dual boot system using Zeta and Windows, you should install Windows first, as you can't add Zeta to Windows' bootloader. If the other operating system is Linux, you should consider choosing to install Zeta first and than use the GRUB or LILO bootloader instead of Bootman.

Having only one partition with Windows installed on your hard disk, is not a problem. Zeta comes with Paragon Partition Manager, a user friendly and powerful utility for resizing and managing your partitions.

As time goes by, you will probably want more applications that have been released for Zeta. This chapter will guide you through the process, and show you how to install software and how to compile software from sources.
