Released Files This release contains four files:
Except the traditional ISO files, we also package android-x86 files into a Linux package rpm. It allows Linux users to easily install the release into an existing Linux device with a standalone ext4 root partition. On an rpm based device (Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS/SUSE...), just install it like a normal rpm package: $ sudo rpm -ivh android-x86-6.0-r3.x86_64.rpmOn a deb based device (Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint/...), please use the alien tool to install it: $ sudo apt install alienAll files will be installed to the /android-6.0-r3/ subdirectory and a boot entry will be added to grub2 menu. Reboot and choose android-x86 item from the menu to enter the system. Alternatively, you can launch Android-x86 in a QEMU virtual machine by the qemu-android script: $ sudo qemu-androidNote Android-x86 running in QEMU and the real machine (after rebooting) shares the same data sub-folder. To uninstall it: $ sudo rpm -e android-x86To use an ISO file, Linux users could just dump the it into a usb drive to create a bootable usb stick like $ dd if=android-x86-6.0-r3.iso of=/dev/sdXwhere /dev/sdX is the device name of your usb drive. Windows's users can use the tool UNetbootin to create a bootable usb stick. You can choose one of these files depends on your devices. In doubt, try the 32-bit files for legacy BIOS devices and 64-bit files for UEFI devices. Please read this page about how to install it to the device. Known issues
