+ist the pre-installed desktop environment in its name. For example, an ISO image beginning with '''manjaro-xfce''' will have the XFCE desktop environment pre-installed.
-The 32 and 64 bit versions of Manjaro are available for download as ISO files. An ISO file is itself a literal copy of a disc image, although not in the same sense as a copy and paste duplication, rather it is a copy of the raw machine code that makes up the files and folders of that disc. This is why just copying an ISO file to a disc (or USB flashdrive) to begin installing it won't work; you'll need to use a ''disc burning application'' to translate that raw data into the files and folders. Instructions to do so for both Linux and Windows operating systems are provided below.
-{{note|There is an exception to this rule. If you intend on installing Manjaro in a virtual machine environment using '''[https://www.virtualbox.org/ Oracle's Virtualbox]''', then there will be no need to burn the image as Virtualbox will be able to read from the ISO file directly as a ''virtual disc''.}}
-ISO images available for 32 bit systems will end in '''i686.iso''', while images for 64 bit systems will end in '''x86_64.iso'''. Please try to ensure that you download the appropriate ISO image for your system as:
-* a 64 bit ISO won't run on a 32 bit system, and
-* a 32 bit ISO will not be able use the full power or resources of a 64 bit system.
-= Manjaro Editions =
-There are two editions of Manjaro available for download:
-'''1. The full edition''': This edition of Manjaro comes complete with everything pre-installed, including a desktop environment, popular software applications, and codecs. This would of course be the most appropriate choice for those who wish to try out Manjaro on a ''Live-CD'' without having to install it first. An ISO image for a full edition of Manjaro will list the pre-installed desktop environment in its name. For example, an ISO image beginning with '''manjaro-xfce''' will have the XFCE desktop environment pre-installed.
 '''2. The NET edition''': This edition of Manjaro provides only a base installation, stripped of any and all pre-installed software. Starting from the command line, this is suitable for more experienced users who may wish to build their own Manjaro systems from the ground up. An ISO image for a NET edition will always begin with '''manjaro-net'''.
