Graphical Installation Program User Interface

If you have used a graphical user interface (GUI) before, you are already
familiar with this process; use your mouse to navigate the screens, click
buttons, or enter text fields.

You can also navigate through the installation using the keyboard. The Tab
key allows you to move around the screen, the Up and Down arrow keys to
scroll through lists, + and - keys expand and collapse lists, while Space and
Enter selects or removes from selection a highlighted item. You can also use
key command combination as a way of clicking on buttons or
the Alt-X
is replaced with any underlined letter
making other screen selections, where X

appearing within that screen.

Note

If you are using an x86, AMD64, or Intel® 64 system, and you do not wish to use
the GUI installation program, the text mode installation program is also available.
To start the text mode installation program, use the following command at the boot:
prompt: linux text

It is highly recommended that installs be performed using the GUI
installation program. The GUI installation program offers the full
functionality of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program, including
LVM configuration which is not available during a text mode installation.
Users who must use the text mode installation program can follow the GUI
installation instructions and obtain all needed information.

Note

If you are using an Itanium system, and you do not wish to use the GUI installation
program, the text mode installation program is also available. To start the text
mode installation program, type the following command at the EFI Shell prompt:
elilo linux text

Problems with Booting into the Graphical Installation

There are some video cards that have trouble booting into the graphical installation program. If the installation program does not run using its default settings, it tries to run in a lower resolution mode. If that still fails, the installation program attempts to run in text mode. One possible solution is to try using the resolution= boot option. This option may be most helpful for laptop users. Another solution to try is the driver= option to specify the driver that should be loaded for your video card. If this works, it should be reported as a bug as the installer has failed to autodetect your videocard. Note To disable frame buffer support and allow the installation program to run in text mode, try using the nofb boot option. This command may be necessary for accessibility with some screen reading hardware.
