When you begin the installation and you have selected a keyboard map, a screen appears with the following list of installation-related options. Use the up and down arrow keys to select an option based on the task you want to perform. You can then press the Tab key to modify the command line. Finally, press the Enter key to boot the installation program from the DVD.
