Special Installation Procedures
3.1.1 Main Menu
After selecting the language and keyboard, continue to the main menu of
linuxrc (see Figure 3.2). Normally, linuxrc is used to start Linux, in which
case you should select ‘Start Installation or System’. You may be able to ac-
cess this item directly, depending on the hardware and the installation pro-
cedure in general. Refer to Section 3.3 on page 125 for more information.

3.1.2 System Information
With the ‘System Information’ menu, shown in Figure 3.3 on the following
page, view kernel messages and other technical details. For example, check
the I/O ports used by PCI cards and the memory size as detected by the
Linux kernel.
The next lines show how a hard disk and a CD-ROM connected to an
(E)IDE controller announce their start. In this case, you do not need to load
additional modules:
