# Install OS manually from standard images

:::info

Only standard Linux-based OS images are available for manual installation.

:::

When installing an OS manually from [standard images](/dedicated/manage/os-images.mdx#standart-os-images), you can partition disks arbitrarily and install the OS on any disk. If this is not required, we recommend that you [install the OS using autoinstallation](/dedicated/manage/autoinstall-os.mdx). If standard images do not suit your needs, install the OS from [your own image](/dedicated/manage/install-os-from-image.mdx).

The provided standard OS images are minimal installation net-install images used for OS installation. Other files will need to be downloaded from a local or public repository.
