Clicking any heading in the Installation Overview section enables you to modify
that aspect of your installation. Similarly, selecting the Change button displays a
pop-up menu from which you can select any of the headings on this screen to
change or examine the relevant aspects of the installation to guarantee that they
meet your requirements.
✦ System — Displays a dialog box showing the hardware that the installer
detected in your system. You cannot change these values.
✦ Keyboard layout — Select the keyboard set used for the system and the
installation process.
✦ Partitioning — One of the most important aspects of installing a Linux sys-
tem. Partitioning configures the target hard drive for the installation of an
operating system.

software packages.
✦ Booting — Configuration of the Linux boot loader. The boot loader bootstraps
a loader at bootup that enables the user to boot not only Linux, but also any
other operating systems in the system.
