'''1. [[Installation Guide For Beginners 0.8.1 | '''1. [[Installation Guide For Beginners 0.8.0-1|Installation Guide for Beginners]]''': This guide covers the ''automatic preparation'' of your computer's hard disk, which will be undertaken by the installer for you. Although optional, detailed explanations have also been provided to manually edit configuration files if desired, in order to improve performance. Please note that '''using this guide will result in completely erasing your hard disk during the installation process'''. Manjaro will be installed alone, so backup your personal files first! | ||
