Hard Disk Installation

			Regardless of how you started the graphical hard disk installation tool (boot, desktop or command line), you should see the welcome screen shown below.

	[[Image:nst20-hard-disk-install-main.png\|thumb\|center\|NST 20 Hard Disk Install Screen]]		[[Image:nst20-hard-disk-install-main.png\|thumb\|center\|NST 20 Hard Disk Install Screen]]

			The welcome screen shown above indicates that you must select a keyboard and disk before you can begin the installation.

	== Set Keyboard ==		== Set Keyboard ==

			After selecting the ''KEYBOARD'' indicator on the main screen of the installer, you should be taken to the keyboard selection screen shown below.

	[[Image:nst20-hard-disk-install-keyboard.png\|thumb\|center\|NST 20 Hard Disk Install Select Keyboard]]		[[Image:nst20-hard-disk-install-keyboard.png\|thumb\|center\|NST 20 Hard Disk Install Select Keyboard]]

			Make your keyboard selection (there may only be one choice) and then press the ''Done'' button near the top left corner. This should return you to the main screen.

	== Select Disk(s) ==		== Select Disk(s) ==

			In addition to selecting a keyboard, you will also need to select a disk and specify how the disk should be formatted. Selecting the ''INSTALLATION DESTINATION'' indicator on the main screen. This should take you to the ''INSTALLATION DESTINATION'' screen and show you all of the available hard disks connected to the system.

			Make sure there is a ''check mark'' on each hard disk you want to use for your NST installation and then press the ''Done'' button at the top left of the screen.

	== Format Disk(s) ==		== Format Disk(s) ==

			At this point, you have only indicated what disks you would like to use for the NST installation. The installer will now ask you how you want to partition and format your disks. We typically recommend using the ''Custom Partitioning'' option on the pop-up window shown below.

	[[Image:nst20-hard-disk-install-disk-options.png\|thumb\|center\|NST 20 Hard Disk Install Disk Options]]		[[Image:nst20-hard-disk-install-disk-options.png\|thumb\|center\|NST 20 Hard Disk Install Disk Options]]

			The screen below shows a sample partitioning choice for a small 16 GB disk.

			How you choose to partition your disk is up to you, but here are some tips that may be worth remembering:

			* If you have a existing ''/home'' partition, you can select it to be mounted as ''/home'' again for your NST installation. Make sure you don't erase/format the partition when taking this approach.
			* If you plan on installing multiple Linux distributions or upgrading to new releases of NST in the future, you may want to create a separate ''/home'' partition.
			* If you are installing to a USB flash drive that has slow write speeds, you may want to omit the ''swap'' partition.
			* If you upgrading a pre-existing NST system it would be wise to make a back up of the current ''/etc'' and ''/var/nst'' directories before installing the new version of the NST to use as a reference.
