2 First Steps
2.1 Installing Nero Linux
Nero Linux is packaged in the RPM and Debian format. These formats are used by the ma-
jority of Linux distributions.
The RPM format is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SuSE Linux and Fedora.
The Debian format is used by Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu.
To install Nero Linux, proceed as follows:
1. Download the Nero Linux package file from www.nero.com to your computer.
2. If you want to use a graphical interface for the installation, double-click the Nero Linux pack-
age file.
 Your distribution's software installer tool is opened and walks you through the quick and
uncomplicated installation process.
3. If you want to use a terminal:
1. Open a terminal.
2. Go to where your package is located.
3. To install the RPM package enter rpm -i nerolinux-<version>-<machine>.rpm
To install the Debian package enter dpkg -i nerolinux-<version>-<machine>.deb
 Some shortcuts will be added in the KDE and GNOME programs menu. The Debian pa-
ckage will also add a shortcut to Nero Linux in the Debian menu subsystem repository.
You can now easily start Nero Linux over the created shortcut.
The Nero Linux Express application is installed with Nero Linux. Nero Linux Express is a
wizard-driven application based on Nero Linux.
If you do not get shortcuts, you can copy the generic ones that are located in
/usr/share/applications/nerolinux.desktop and
/usr/share/applications/nerolinuxexpress.desktop.
2.2 Advanced System Settings
We recommend the following configuration of your system in order to achieve best burn re-
sult. In any case, if Nero Linux detects an incorrectly configured setting on your system, it will
warn you when starting.
System Configuration
You can set Nero Linux configuration warnings in the Options window on the
System Configuration tab.
