The functionality of +the graphical installer is essentially the same as that of the regular +installer as it basically uses the same programs, but with a different +frontend. + +</para><para> + +Although the functionality is identical, the graphical installer still has +a few significant advantages. The main advantage is that it supports more +languages, namely those that use a character set that cannot be displayed +with the regular <quote>newt</quote> frontend.

To expand a collapsed list (used for example for the selection +of countries within continents), you can use the <keycap>+</keycap> and +<keycap>-</keycap> keys. For questions where more than one item can be +selected (e.g. task selection), you first need to tab to the +<guibutton>Continue</guibutton> button after making your selections; hitting +enter will toggle a selection, not activate <guibutton>Continue</guibutton>. + +</para><para> + +To switch to another console, you will also need to use the +<keycap>Ctrl</keycap> key, just as with the X Window System.
