+ <title>Using Individual Components</title>
+<para>
+
+In this section we will describe each installer component in
+detail. The components have been grouped into stages that should
+be recognizable for users. They are presented in the order they
+appear during the install. Note that not all modules will be used
+for every installation; which modules are actually used depends on
+the installation method you use and on your hardware.

+ <title>Setting up Debian Installer and Hardware Configuration</title>
+<para>
+
+Let's assume the Debian Installer has booted and you are facing its
+first screen. At this time, the capabilities of &d-i; are still quite
+limited. It doesn't know much about your hardware, preferred language,
+or even the task it should perform. Don't worry. Because &d-i; is quite
+clever, it can automatically probe your hardware, locate the rest
+of its components and upgrade itself to a capable installation system.
+
+However, you still need to help &d-i; with some information it can't
+determine automatically (like selecting your preferred language, keyboard
+layout or desired network mirror).
+
+</para><para>
+
+You will notice that &d-i; performs <firstterm>hardware detection</firstterm>
+several times during this stage. The first time is targeted specifically
+at the hardware needed to load installer components (e.g. your CD-ROM or
+network card). As not all drivers may be available during this first run,
+hardware detection needs to be repeated later in the process.

+<para>
+
+At this time, after hardware detection has been executed a final time,
+&d-i; should be at its full strength, customized for the user's needs
+and ready to do some real work.
+
+As the title of this section indicates, the main task of the next few
+components lies in partitioning your disks, creating filesystems,
+assigning mountpoints and optionally configuring closely related issues
+like LVM or RAID devices.

+ <title>Installing the Base System</title>
+<para>
+
+Although this stage is the least problematic, it consumes most time of
+the install because it downloads, verifies and unpacks the whole base
+system. If you have a slow computer or network connection, this could
+take some time.
