#9 How to install caelinux2020 FULL

[A.Vegnaduzzo]

Hi guys,
if you are going to install CAELINUX2020 full please do this before proceedings.
First of all verify that the .iso file that you have extracted from the three .zip files is working in a virtual machine. If you are already on linux you can simply open your terminal and launch as a simple user $:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga std -m 4096 -smp 4 -hda file.iso

This command allow you to create a simple VM with 4GB of RAM (4096, if your laptop-pc has only 4GB then use less gigabyte) and 4 Core (you can use less obs.). Remember to launch this command while you are in the same directory of the caelinux2020.iso file and change the name file.iso with the one that you read on that directory.
If everything the system boots, than you can close the VM and use ventoy to transfer it on a USB stick.
PAY ATTENTION
The boot on the VM is based on BIOS NOT UEFI. This means that if you have a laptop-pc new or at least from 10 years ago you probably boot on UEFI; the problem is that UEFI boot in thi .iso i broken so you have to do this workaround to install it.
Go to your UEFI configuration (search how on internet, basically during boot you have to press esc or F1 or F2 or F10 or F11 and so on...) and set CSM legacy boot or simply legacy.
Than you can use your USB stick to boot caelinux2020.iso and perform a clean install.
REMEMBER that if you had already a UEFI instllation that won't work until you change to UEFI boot mode.
To overcome this, after the installation of CAE2020 you can search how to switch from bios boot to uefi boot on a classical ubuntu installation and follow that guide.

Hope this is useful for someone,

Thanks Joel for your work.

P.S
Hope the 2021-2022 caelinux come soon. Cheers
