Sleeper OS Installation Guide
Welcome to Sleeper OS! This guide will help you install Sleeper OS on your computer. Whether you're a beginner or just looking for a quick refresher, follow these easy steps.
What's a Partition?
Think of a partition like a virtual room in your computer. It's a space where you can organize and store different types of data. We'll set up a few of these rooms for Sleeper OS.
Basic Steps for Getting Started
1. Backup Your Data
Before we begin, make sure to back up any important files on your computer, just to be safe.
2. Boot from Sleeper OS
Insert the Sleeper OS installation USB into your computer and restart. It will automatically start the installation process.
3. Create Partitions
During the installation, you'll see a step about partitions. It's like creating separate spaces for Sleeper OS to live. Open GParted and make at least two partitions - one for the EFI system (500 megabytes) and one for root system (the rest of space that you want), the select them at the installer.
4. Choose File System and Mount Points
Assign a file system (don't worry, just go with the default) and set the mount points. Think of it like telling Sleeper OS where to find each partition.
