Configure the keyboard

Detect keyboard layout?

You can try to have your keyboard layout detected by pressing a series of keys. If you do not want to do this, you will be able to select your keyboard layout from a list.

Detecting your keyboard layout

Keyboard layout detection complete

Based on the keys you pressed, your keyboard layout appears to be "${LAYOUT}". If this is not correct, you can go back and select your layout from the full list instead.

Load CD-ROM drivers from removable media?

You may need to load additional CD-ROM drivers from removable media, such as a driver floppy. If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue. Otherwise, you will be given the option to manually select CD-ROM modules.

Waiting for hardware initialization...

Load missing drivers from removable media?

A driver for your hardware is not available. You may need to load drivers from removable media, such as a USB stick, or driver floppy.

If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue.

Load missing firmware from removable media?

Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or floppy.

The missing firmware files are: ${FILES}

Checking for firmware...

Go back to the menu and correct this problem?

Your boot partition has not been configured with the ext2 or ext3 file system. This is needed by your machine in order to boot. Please go back and use either the ext2 or ext3 file system.

Select from worldwide list

Is this time zone correct?

If this is not correct, you may select from a full list of time zones instead.

Setting up the base system...

generic: include all available drivers

targeted: only include drivers needed for this system

Drivers to include in the initrd:

The primary function of an initrd is to allow the kernel to mount the root file system. It therefore needs to contain all drivers and supporting programs required to do that.

Use software from the "partner" repository?

Some additional software is available from Canonical's "partner" repository. This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by Canonical and the respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.

Use weak password?

You entered a password that consists of less than eight characters, which is considered too weak. You should choose a stronger password.

Encrypt your home directory?

You may configure your home directory for encryption, such that any files stored there remain private even if your computer is stolen.

The system will seamlessly mount your encrypted home directory each time you login and automatically unmount when you log out of all active sessions.

The installer could not find any partitions, so you will not be able to mount a root file system. This may be caused by the kernel failing to detect your hard disk drive or failing to read the partition table, or the disk may be unpartitioned. If you wish, you may investigate this from a shell in the installer environment.

Do not use a root file system

If you choose not to use a root file system, you will be given a reduced choice of operations that can be performed without one. This may be useful if you need to correct a partitioning problem.

Interactive shell on ${DEVICE}

After this message, you will be given a shell in the installer environment. No file systems have been mounted.

Interactive shell in the installer environment

Number of active devices for the RAID${LEVEL} array:

You have chosen to create a RAID${LEVEL} array with ${COUNT} active devices.

Number of spare devices for the RAID${LEVEL} array:

You have chosen to create a RAID${LEVEL} array with ${COUNT} spare devices.

The layout must be n, o, or f (arrangement of the copies) followed by a number (number of copies of each chunk). The number must be smaller or equal to the number of active devices.

The letter is the arrangement of the copies: n - near copies: Multiple copies of one data block are at similar offsets in different devices. f - far copies: Multiple copies have very different offsets o - offset copies: Rather than the chunks being duplicated within a stripe, whole stripes are duplicated but are rotated by one device so duplicate blocks are on different devices.

Remove existing software RAID partitions?

The selected device contains partitions used for software RAID devices. The following devices and partitions are about to be removed:

Software RAID devices about to be removed: ${REMOVED_DEVICES}

Partitions used by these RAID devices: ${REMOVED_PARTITIONS}

Note that this will also permanently erase any data currently on the software RAID devices.
