Character set to support:

Please choose the character set that should be supported by the console font.

If you don't use a framebuffer, the choices that start with "." will reduce the number of available colors on the console.

There is more than one possible keyboard layout with the origin you selected. Please select the layout matching the keyboard for this machine.

Keep unsupported settings in configuration file?

The configuration file /etc/default/console-setup specifies a keyboard layout (${XKBLAYOUT}), which is not supported by the configuration program.

Please choose whether you want to keep it. If you choose this option, no questions about the keyboard layout will be asked and the current configuration will be preserved.

Keep default keyboard layout (${XKBLAYOUT})?

The default value for the keyboard layout is based on the currently defined language/region and the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This default value is ${XKBLAYOUT}, which is not supported by the configuration program.

Please choose whether you want to keep it. If you choose this option, no questions about the keyboard layout will be asked.

Keep unsupported options (${XKBOPTIONS})?

The configuration file /etc/default/console-setup specifies options for the keyboard layout (${XKBOPTIONS}) that are not supported by the configuration program.

The default value for the options of the keyboard layout is based on the currently defined language/region and the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This default value is ${XKBOPTIONS}, which is not supported by the configuration program.

"VGA" has a traditional appearance and has medium coverage of international scripts. "Fixed" has a simplistic appearance and has better coverage of international scripts. "Terminus" may help to reduce eye fatigue, though some symbols have a similar aspect which may be a problem for programmers.

Please select the size of the font for the Linux console. For reference, the font used when the computer boots has size 16.

Please select the size of the font for the Linux console. Simple integers corresponding to fonts can be used with all console drivers. The number then represents the font height (number of scan lines). Alternatively, the font may be represented as HEIGHTxWIDTH; however, such font specifications require the kbd console package (not console-tools) plus framebuffer (and the RadeonFB kernel driver for framebuffer does not support them either).

Font heights can be useful for figuring out the real size of the symbols on the console. For reference, the font used when the computer boots has size 16.

Encoding to use on the console:

Please enter a space-delimited list of virtual consoles you use. The usual Unix filename wildcards are allowed (*, ? and [...]).

If you are unsure, then use the default /dev/tty[1-6] which stands for six virtual consoles.

You will need a way to toggle the keyboard between the national layout and the standard Latin layout.

Right Alt or Caps Lock keys are often chosen for ergonomic reasons (in the latter case, use the combination Shift+Caps Lock for normal Caps toggle). Alt+Shift is also a popular combination; it will however lose its usual behavior in Emacs and other programs that use it for specific needs.

When the keyboard is in national mode and one wants to type only a few Latin letters, it might be more appropriate to switch temporarily to Latin mode. The keyboard remains in that mode as long as the chosen key is kept pressed. That key may also be used to input national letters when the keyboard is in Latin mode.

You can disable this feature by choosing "No temporary switch".

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. These are often printed as an extra symbol on keys.

On the text console the Compose key does not work in Unicode mode. If not in Unicode mode, regardless of what you choose here, you can always also use the Control+period combination as a Compose key.

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.

Activate Serial ATA RAID devices?

One or more drives containing Serial ATA RAID configurations have been found. Do you wish to activate these RAID devices?

Unmount partitions that are in use?

Your installation medium is on ${PARTITION}. You will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on this disk, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there.

The size entered is invalid

The size you entered was not understood. Please enter a positive integer size followed by an optional unit of measure (e.g. "200 GB"). The default unit of measure is the megabyte.

The size entered is too large

The size you entered is larger than the maximum size of the partition. Please enter a smaller size to continue.

The size entered is too small

The size you entered is smaller than the minimum size of the partition. Please enter a larger size to continue.

Identical labels for two file systems

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.
