From 44ea3fd62af6f1c0d05e5abc467a297ccb3db042 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Lamprecht Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 16:19:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rename "usbstick" to "installation media" and move before wizard Besides the fact that "usb stick" is germaenglisch it allows to move that section up which brings the chapter in a better order, as one needs to prepare the installation media before they can use the installer itself ;-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Lamprecht --- pve-usbstick.adoc => pve-installation-media.adoc | 15 +++++++++------ pve-installation.adoc | 13 ++++++++----- 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) rename pve-usbstick.adoc => pve-installation-media.adoc (92%) diff --git a/pve-usbstick.adoc b/pve-installation-media.adoc similarity index 92% rename from pve-usbstick.adoc rename to pve-installation-media.adoc index 7deb6d7..625fc76 100644 --- a/pve-usbstick.adoc +++ b/pve-installation-media.adoc @@ -1,9 +1,12 @@ -Install from a USB Flash Drive ------------------------------- +[[installation_prepare_media]] +Prepare Installation Media +-------------------------- ifdef::wiki[] :pve-toplevel: endif::wiki[] +Download the installer ISO image from: {website}en/downloads/category/iso-images-pve + The {pve} installation media is a hybrid ISO image.
