| − | SME Server (and many add-ons) can be downloaded from one of our download locations. These download locations (Mirrors) have generously been provided by our mirror partners. Additional information on how to become a mirror partner and the status of current mirrors is available [[Mirrors| '''here''']].
| + | When installing the netinstall ISO, you will be asked some basic questions (check the media, languages, keyboard layout etc.), followed by the question for the location of installation files. The options are CD/DVD, Hard drive, NFS or URL |
| | | | |
| − | '''A BIG thanks to all of our sponsors for the mirrors.'''
| + | When you select the URL option the required URL is: |
| | + | http://mirror.contribs.org/releases/9.2/smeos/x86_64 |
| | | | |
| − | For a full list of our download mirrors see our [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors/ '''download locations''']

| − | ===ISO===
| |
| − | Procedure to download an ISO: Select the [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors closest mirror], the version of SME Server you want, then the iso directory and finally the i386 or the x86_64 directory. Note that in each repo, there are two ISO images. One is named according to the released version (e.g. smeserver-8.1-i386.iso), the other does not provide version information (e.g. smeserver-i386.iso). The non version ISO is the actual file and facilitates rsync updates for the mirrors. The versioned ISO is actually a symlink to the non-versioned ISO so people know what version they are downloading. Both will download the same binary data to your computer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{tip box|Due to the growth of a number of included packages, '''the size of the smeserver ISO has now outgrown the size of CD-ROM media'''. '''A DVD-ROM is now the prefered sized medium''' or use a '''[[Install_From_USB| Usb Key]]'''. Therefore, it is now strongly recommended to use a DVD-ROM or USB Key for both versions.)}}<br />

| − | ===Zsync===
| |
| − | When updates become available you will be able to update a previous version of an iso using zsync, run the command from the same directory as your existing iso. zsync uses a control file to determine whether any blocks in the file are already known to the downloader, and only downloads the new blocks. If you don't have a previous iso zsync is still a good option, it will recover an interrupted download.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To install ZSync you need to ensure you have the Dag repositories enabled. See here: [http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag Dag], then issue the following commands:
| |
| − | | |
| − | yum install zsync --enablerepo=dag
| |
| − | Reboot not required
| |
| − | cp smeserver-8.1-i386.iso smeserver-8.1.1-i386.iso [if you have a previous .iso]
| |
| − | zsync http://smeserver.bhs.mirrors.ovh.net/smeserver/releases/8.1/iso/i386/smeserver-8.1-i386.iso.zsync
