Note that other operating systems may not expect the Hardware Clock (in the
BIOS) to be set to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If you dual-boot, you may want

Linux will work with either mode. Select Next to continue. You are asked to choose a

Installation Settings
The installation settings that appear allow you to select either the Overview or Expert tab. Review
the settings on these tabs. The following steps describe the options on the Expert tab, which provides
more detailed information than the Overview tab:
9. System. Select System to probe your computer hardware. You get details about the type
and model of each hardware item on your computer. You can save this information to
your hard disk (if there is an available partition) or to a floppy disk. Click Details to see
further information about any selected item. You might find this information useful if, for
some reason, the hardware is not properly configured after the install is complete. It will
give you information you need to search the Web or ask a question in a Linux forum
about your hardware problem.
10. Keyboard layout. Make sure the language/country associated with the keyboard you are
using are properly identified.
