ClearOS has an easy to use, intuitive, web-based GUI that allows for fast and easy setup and installation of not just the server environment, but also the applications that run on it. ClearOS has a growing online application marketplace (store) of 100+ applications and services that SMBs can quickly browse and select to install on their server.
For optical disk-based installs of ClearOS, you will need to burn a DVD of ClearOS. You will need to use a DVD drive to install ClearOS or use a USB install to apply ClearOS to hardware. If you are using a virtual machine instance for ClearOS, you need only mount the ISO image in the management interface of your virtualization platform.
To burn the ISO image to DVD, you will need blank media capable of storing the size of the ISO image. The typical DVD size of 4.7 GB is more than sufficient for this task. You cannot copy the ISO image to the DVD as a file, it must be burned using the ISO burn process. You can then boot this DVD to start the ClearOS install. You may need to enter BIOS or hit a special key to boot from the CD/DVD device. Pay attention to the screen during boot since the boot key options are often displayed for a short period of time.
To burn the ISO image to a disk, please reference this guide which will help you with the process.If you are having trouble finding the correct key to enter BIOS or boot mode, please refer to your hardware vendor's documentation for details. Alternatively, you can do what most administrators do: hit all the function keys, delete key and random other keys while cursing about why BIOS is still around.
