Select “Boot …” and press Enter.

2. Using the Installer

Once the desktop environment has loaded, the Calamares Installer will start automatically.

Key Steps in Calamares:

Section titled “Key Steps in Calamares:”
  1. Welcome: Confirm your language.
  2. Location & Keyboard: These should be pre-set from your GRUB choices.
  3. Partitions: * Since VeloxOS uses zRAM for high-performance memory compression, a physical swap partition is often unnecessary.
    • Select “Erase Disk” and choose “No Swap” unless you specifically need Hibernation (Suspend-to-Disk).
  4. Users: Create your main user account and set a password.
  5. Summary: Double-check your settings before clicking Install.
