What installation methods are available for ArcaOS?

ArcaOS may be installed using any of the following methods:

  • Bootable DVD, created by burning the downloaded ISO with suitable software from any operating system.
  • Mounting the ISO file directly, which is generally suitable for installing in a virtual machine under VirtualBox, VirtualPC, or another hypervisor.
  • Bootable USB flash drive, created either using the separate creation utility and image from OS/2, Linux, OSX, or Windows, or from an existing OS/2 installation (Warp 4 FP13 or above) using the included AOSBOOT utility.
  • Local hard drive partition, using the included AOSBOOT utility, from an existing OS/2 installation on the same system (Warp 4 FP13 or above, and 2GB free space on the drive – HDD or SSD – for the partition).

More information is available in the ArcaOS wiki.
