Modest System Requirements
Το Pearl MATE λειτουργεί καλά τόσο σε υψηλών επιδόσεων όσο και σε αργούς υπολογιστές, και είναι βελτιστοποιημένο ώστε να είναι λειτουργικό, και παράλληλα ελαφρύ για τους πόρους του συστήματος.
Ελάχιστα
- Pentium M 1.0 gigahertz (GHz)
- 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM
- 9 gigabytes (GB) χώρου στο δίσκο
Συνιστώμενα
- Core 2 Duo 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)
- 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM
- 16 gigabytes (GB) χώρου στο δίσκο
Το λειτουργικό σύστημα θα τρέξει πολύ πιο αποτελεσματικά αν ο υπολογιστής σας πληροί ή υπερβαίνει τις συνιστώμενες απαιτήσεις συστήματος.
Προετοιμάζοντας την Εγκατάσταση
Pearl MATE is relatively simple to set up, whether you're looking to replace your existing operating system or install Pearl MATE alongside an existing one - such as Microsoft Windows ή άλλη διανομή GNU/Linux.
Για τα βέλτιστα αποτελέσματα:
- Αντίγραφο ασφαλείας any important data to another storage device.
- Συνδεθείτε στο διαδίκτυο για να εγκαταστήσετε όλες τις διαθέσιμες ενημερώσεις κατά την διάρκεια της εγκατάστασης.
- Παραμείνετε συνδεδεμένοι στο διαδίκτυο για να εγκαταστήσετε όλες τις διαθέσιμες ενημερώσεις.
- Plug your device into a power source if it is running on battery power.

The live session you are currently in right now is a good opportunity to test Pearl MATE without modifying your computer, allowing you to test that all of your peripherals are working as intended before committing to installing it on your machine. Once you are ready, double click the installation icon on the desktop.
Σύγχρονοι υπολογιστές, βασισμένοι στο UEFI
If you have a modern PC that uses the Unified Extended Firmware Interface (UEFI), you may need to disable Secure Boot (or enable the Unlock Bootloader option) in the BIOS prior to installation, particularly if an operating system was pre-installed.
Αν χρησιμοποιείτε μια παλαιότερη μηχανή με BIOS, δεν χρειάζεται να το κάνετε αυτό.
Especially when dual booting, it is important that you boot your system in the correct mode and use the εικόνα 64-bit, as you cannot boot an operating system installed in BIOS mode after installing a UEFI-enabled operating system or vice versa.
Booting in BIOS mode on a UEFI system with a GPT-formatted disk will also show a "protection layer". Μην ανησυχείτε, τα δεδομένα σας δεν έχουν χαθεί ούτε διαφθαρεί!
Swap
For computers that start to run low on memory (RAM), the operating system will start swapping content from memory to the hard disk. This is known as a "paging file" in Windows. Performance will decrease when running low on memory and could possibly freeze if you completely run out of memory without anywhere to swap.
By default, a swap partition is created based on the size of your RAM. For example, if you have 2 GiB of RAM, then 2 GiB of hard disk space will be reserved for swap at the end of the drive.
Swap space that's the size of your RAM is also required if you would like to hibernate the system (as known as suspending to disk).
Dual Booting
Should you wish to install Pearl MATE alongside your existing operating system, your partitions need to be shrunk. This results in sections of your hard disk being split between multiple operating systems.
Για να ελαχιστοποιήσετε τον κίνδυνο απώλειας δεδομένων ή αποτυχίας, διασφαλίστε ότι:
- Υπάρχει αρκετός ελεύθερος χώρος. Συνίσταται να έχετε τουλάχιστον 10 GB ελεύθερα.
- Αντίγραφο ασφαλείας important data to another drive.
- Defragment the hard drive.
- Ensure Windows has been cleanly shut down (not hibernated).
Ποια προσέγγιση θα προτιμούσατε;
The simplest method is to use the installer.
The installer scans your disks for existing operating systems and provides a choice on what you'd like to do.
You will see an option similar to this:
![]()
Followed by:
![]()
Do not interrupt or power off the computer during a resize operation.
If you do, data loss or a partition table corruption could occur. Please double check your changes before proceeding.
The installer may show a spinner cursor for a long period of time, depending on the size of your disk.
When you next boot Windows, run
chkdsk /f
from the command prompt to check the file system for errors. Windows may schedule this automatically. This ensures consistency for the NTFS file system.
Use GParted or the installer's "Custom" option.
GParted is available during the live session only.
It is located under the Σύστημα
Administration menu. GParted provides complete flexibility over your partitions, primarily for power users who know how they'd like to layout their disks. This method makes changes to partitions prior to installation.
After completing operations to your disk, you can leave the remaining space unallocated, whereby the installer will detect this unused space to install Pearl MATE to.
Using the Installer's "Custom" option.
Instead or in addition to GParted, the Custom option during the installation wizard can also configure and resize your partitions as well as choose mount points. Dividing your disks can make it somewhat easier to re-install the operating system later if desired.
You can specify these mount points:
/
- Η βάση για το Pearl MATE/boot
- Bootloader and kernels/home
- Τα προσωπικά σας αρχεία και φάκελοι/tmp
- Προσωρινά αρχεία/usr
- Περιλαμβάνει τις περισσότερες από τις εφαρμογές (binaries, documentation, libraries, etc)/var
- Variable data (such as system logs)/srv
- Data for System Services (typically used for server configurations)/opt
- Additional software unmanaged by the package manager (such asSpotify)
Creating separate partitions for all above mount points is not necessary.
The commonly partitioned directories being /
, /home
και /boot
. These mount points can also be set across different
physical disks, for instance, if you'd like the OS /
σε ένα SSD.
αλλά τα προσωπικά σας αρχεία /home
on a mechanical hard drive.
Shrink your system disk within Windows.
Applies to Windows Vista and later.
If you are using Windows XP or earlier, you will need to use the Απλή ή Προηγμένη method to shrink your disk.
Newer versions of Windows provide a tool to shrink the NTFS volume from within Windows. This is a safer bet if it's essential that Windows still boots on your computer while experiencing Pearl MATE.
1. Άνοιγμα Διαχείριση δίσκου από το μενού εκκίνησης.![]()
2. Right click your desired drive and choose Shrink Partition from the context menu.![]()
3. Enter the amount to shrink your system partition by.![]()
Remember, Pearl MATE needs at minimum 8 GB of disk space. 1 GB = 1000 MB

Repairing Boot Problems
Linux distributions use a boot loader known asgrub
,
which looks for and bootstraps the operating system. However, some operating systems (such as Windows) do not integrate with existing boot loaders and will overwrite them, with the potential to lose access to Pearl MATE temporally.

Οδηγοί
While a wide range of hardware is compatible with Pearl MATE, there are some components and peripherals that require proprietary drivers to function properly. Installing the firmware package is often required to get some devices, typically Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to work correctly.
