The first is to install. Select option 1 and press Enter, or simply wait and
the installation proceeds after a few moments.
2. After a welcome screen that gives you the choice of canceling or continuing with the
install, you are asked about your keyboard layout, and then you proceed to the Install
Methods screen (see Figure 15-3). Here you can select a basic or advanced installation. A
basic installation is useful when you have only one hard disk and partition. An advanced
installation enables you to select the hard disk and/or partition to which you want to
install. Make your selection, and click Next.
Both basic and advanced installations wipe out all data on the target drive/partition.
Back up anything you think you might want to keep before proceeding. If you select the
advanced method, it is recommended that your data partition be at least 4GB or more.
3. The screen to select your computer name, username, and password appears (see Figure 15-4).
You need to name the PC and provide the details for a user account, including a password
if you opt to provide one. For a home configuration replacing a Windows installation, for
example, leaving the password blank might be acceptable. In any working environment
or if the PC is not going to be shielded from the Internet, providing a strong password is
essential.
