Scroll Lock key

The most ergonomic choices seem to be the right Alt and the Caps Lock keys (in the latter case, use the combination Shift+Caps Lock for normal Caps toggle). Another popular choice is the Alt+Shift combination; note however that in this case the combination Alt+Shift (or Control+Shift if you choose it) will lose its usual meaning in Emacs and other programs using it.

Note that the listed keys are not present on all keyboards.

Method for temporarily toggling between national and Latin input:

Sometimes the keyboard is in national mode and you want to type only a few Latin letters. In this case it may be desirable to have a key for temporarily switching between national and Latin symbols. While this key is pressed in national mode, the keyboard types Latin letters. Conversely, when the keyboard is in Latin mode and this key is pressed, the keyboard will type national letters.

Keypad Enter key

Both Alt keys

With some keyboard layouts, AltGr is a modifier key used to input some characters, primarily ones that are unusual for the language of the keyboard layout, such as foreign currency symbols and accented letters. If a key has a third symbol on it (on the front vertical face or the bottom right of the key top, sometimes in a different colour), then AltGr is often the means of eliciting that symbol.

The Compose key (known also as Multi_key) causes the computer to interprete the next few keystrokes as a combination in order to produce a character not found on the keyboard.

Storing network settings...

This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. Select a partition to modify its settings (file system, mount point, etc.), a free space to create partitions, or a device to initialise its partition table.

Multipath %s (WWID %s)

Multipath %s (partition #%s)

Virtual disk %s (%s)

Virtual disk %s, partition #%s (%s)

The minimum size for this partition is ${MINSIZE} (or ${PERCENT}) and its maximum size is ${MAXSIZE}.

Hint: "max" can be used as a shortcut to specify the maximum size, or enter a percentage (e.g. "20%") to use that percentage of the maximum size.

The maximum size for this partition is ${MAXSIZE}.

The file system on ${PARTITION} assigned to ${MOUNTPOINT} has not been marked for formatting. Directories containing system files (/etc, /lib, /usr, /var, ...) that already exist under any defined mountpoint will be deleted during the install.

Volatile updates provide more current versions for software that changes relatively frequently and where not having the latest version could reduce the usability of the software. An example is the virus signatures for a virus scanner. This service is only available for stable and oldstable releases.

Scan another CD or DVD?

Your installation CD or DVD has been scanned; its label is:

You now have the option to scan additional CDs or DVDs for use by the package manager (apt). Normally these should be from the same set as the installation CD/DVD. If you do not have any additional CDs or DVDs available, this step can just be skipped.

If you wish to scan another CD or DVD, please insert it now.

The CD or DVD with the following label has been scanned:

The CD or DVD with the following label has already been scanned:

Please replace it now if you wish to scan another CD or DVD.

An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD/DVD failed.

Please check that the CD/DVD has been inserted correctly.

You are installing from a CD, which contains a limited selection of packages.

You have scanned %i CDs. Even though these contain a fair selection of packages, some may be missing (notably some packages needed to support languages other than English).

You have scanned %i CDs. Even though these contain a large selection of packages, some may be missing.

Note that using a mirror can result in a large amount of data being downloaded during the next step of the installation.

You are installing from a DVD. Even though the DVD contains a large selection of packages, some may be missing.

Unless you don't have a good Internet connection, use of a mirror is recommended, especially if you plan to install a graphical desktop environment.

If you have a reasonably good Internet connection, use of a mirror is suggested if you plan to install a graphical desktop environment.

Manage system with Landscape

How do you want to manage upgrades on this system?

Applying updates on a frequent basis is an important part of keeping your system secure.

By default, updates need to be applied manually using package management tools. Alternatively, you can choose to have this system automatically download and install security updates, or you can choose to manage this system over the web as part of a group of systems using Canonical's Landscape service.

Some variables need to be set in CFE in order for your system to boot automatically. At the end of installation, the system will reboot. At the firmware prompt, set the following variables to simplify booting:

You will only need to do this once. This enables you to just issue the command "boot_debian" at the CFE prompt.

If you prefer to auto-boot on every startup, you can set the following variable in addition to the ones above:

GRUB is always installed to the master boot record (MBR) of the Serial ATA RAID disk. It is also assumed that disk is listed as the first hard disk in the boot order defined in the system's BIOS setup.
