= Installation =

== Overview ==

Preparing your computer for Ubuntu Studio is now simpler, with a wider range of disk setup options. Each of these are detailed at length to provide you with a clear understanding of the actions that will take place with your selection.

You can now reinstall or upgrade an existing copy of Ubuntu Studio with the Ubuntu Studio DVD installer, provided that your computer is connected to the Internet. 

== Download  ==

Ubuntu Studio 12.10 images can be downloaded from:
  * http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/12.10/release/ (UbuntuStudio) 

== System Requirements ==

The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu Studio 12.10 is 768 MB of memory.  It is highly recommended that you have 2GB or more memory though so that the system will perform much better.  More information about other recommended hardware on the new Ubuntu Studio website when it is released.

= Upgrading =

== Upgrading from Ubuntu Studio 12.04  ==

To upgrade from Ubuntu Studio 12.04, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and display following message: "New distribution release '12.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions". 

Since the upgrade does not include the new "photography" and "publishing" metas, so if you want the photography and publishing packages in your upgrade, please install them manually after upgrade by typing "sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-meta-photography ubuntustudio-meta-publishing" in your terminal.

== Upgrading from Other Releases ==

Users of other Ubuntu Studio releases need to upgrade first to 12.04, and then to 12.10.

For further information on upgrading to 11.10, please see the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades| Ubuntu Precise upgrade instructions ]].

= Known Issues =

== Graphics and Display ==

 * Proprietary drivers are now installed using software-properties-gtk (Software Sources), under the tab "Additional Drivers".
