| Those wishing to multi-boot Windows, OSX or other operating systems with KXStudio on a UEFI machine are recommended to obtain a copy of [[http://sourceforge.net/p/linux-secure/wiki/Home/|Linux Secure Remix]] before you attempt installing KXStudio. If, after installing KXStudio on the same UEFI machine as Windows or OSX and rebooting, you don't see a boot menu offering a choice of operating systems you should boot Linux Secure Remix and run the Boot-Repair tool which fixes most GRUB/UEFI boot configuration issues and should get your machine multi-booting properly. This tool may be included on future KXStudio DVD releases. | Those wishing to multi-boot Windows, OSX or other operating systems with KXStudio on a UEFI machine are recommended to obtain a copy of [[http://sourceforge.net/p/linux-secure/wiki/Home/|Linux Secure Remix]] before you attempt installing KXStudio.

| The KXStudio Live DVD is based upon Ubuntu 12.04 and uses the same installation tool so you can reference the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall|official Ubuntu Install guide.]] The only real difference is in step 7 as you will need to click the 'Install KXStudio' icon on the desktop instead of clicking 'Install Ubuntu' when you are ready to run the installer. | The KXStudio Live DVD is based upon Kubuntu 12.04.3 and uses the same installation tool so you can reference the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall|official Ubuntu Install guide.]] The only real difference is in step 7 as you will need to click the 'Install KXStudio' icon on the desktop instead of clicking 'Install Ubuntu' when you are ready to run the installer, that is if you chose to 'Try KXStudio before installing' instead of choosing to run the installer directly at boot. |

| Contrary to what the Ubuntu installer seems to recommend with its network check, it is recommended that you disconnect from the internet before and whilst you install KXStudio so that updates are not fetched and the process is completed as quickly as possible. After a successful install and reboot you will be prompted to install any available updates. | Contrary to what the Ubuntu installer seems to recommend with its network check, it is recommended that you disconnect from the internet before and whilst you install KXStudio so that updates are not fetched and the process is completed as quickly as possible.
