9.1. Configuring the Installation System at the Boot Menu
You can use the boot menu to specify a number of settings for the installation system, including:
9.1.1. Specifying the Language
To set the language for both the installation process and the final system, specify the ISO code for that language with the lang
option. Use the keymap
option to configure the correct keyboard layout.
For example, the ISO codes
el_GR
and
gr
identify the Greek language and the Greek keyboard layout:
linux lang=
el_GR
keymap=
gr
9.1.5. Manually Configuring the Network Settings
By default, the installation system uses DHCP to automatically obtain the correct network settings. To manually configure the network settings yourself, either enter them in the
Configure TCP/IP
screen, or at the boot:
prompt. You may specify the ip
address, netmask
, gateway
, and dns
server settings for the installation system at the prompt. If you specify the network configuration at the boot:
prompt, these settings are used for the installation process, and the
Configure TCP/IP
screen does not appear.
This example configures the network settings for an installation system that uses the IP address 192.168.1.10
:
linux ip=
192.168.1.10
netmask=
255.255.255.0
gateway=
192.168.1.1
dns=
192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3
Configuring the Installed System
Use the Network Configuration screen to specify the network settings for the new system. Refer to
Section 7.15.1, “Manual configuration” for more information on configuring the network settings for the installed system.
