Network configuration

In CLD, CLDG and CLDX Network Setup performs Networkmanager. The program has a graphical interface with which you can customize both wired and wireless networks. When you load the program, it tries to bring up a network interface and obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Start the program using the icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

Partition management

Before installing, you may need to change the partitions on your hard disk. To set the CLD, CLDG and CLDX we recommend that you use the partition at least 10 GB. More detailed hardware requirements can be found here. The swap partition (swap) usually released in two large size of RAM. If the swap partition already exists, the system will use it. It is useful to have a separate partition for personal files (/home). Our recommendations on partitioning described here.
