+Starting a shell from the graphical frontend is currently not supported.
+This means that relevant options to do that (which are available when you
+use the textual frontend), will not be shown in the main menu of the
+installation system and in the menu for the rescue mode. You will instead
+have to switch (as described above) to the shells that are available on
+virtual consoles VT2 and VT3.

+After booting the installer in rescue mode, it may be useful to start a shell
+in the root partition of an already installed system. This is possible (after
+you have selected the partition to be mounted as the root partition) by
