Command Description
text Runs installation in a text-based mode. Do this if the installation doesn??™t seem to
recognize your graphics card.
lowres Runs installation in 640 ?— 480 screen resolution for graphics cards that can??™t
support the higher resolution.
nofb Turns off the framebuffer.
noprobe Installation won??™t probe to determine your hardware; you must load any special
drivers that might be needed to install it. Normally, installation auto-probes to
determine what hardware you have on your computer.
mediacheck Check your DVD or CDs before installing. Because media checking is done next
in the normal installation process, do this only to test the media on a computer
you are not installing on.
rescue Boots from CD, mounts your hard disk, and lets you access useful utilities to
correct problems that are preventing your Linux system from operating properly.
(Not really an installation mode.)
expert Bypasses probing so you can choose your mouse, video memory, and other
values that would otherwise be chosen for you. Use if you believe that the
installation process is not properly auto-probing your hardware.
askmethod Has the installation process ask where to install from (local CD, NFS image, FTP,
HTTP, or hard disk).
updates To install from an update disk.
