+ <title>Using the Graphical Installer</title>
+<para>
+
+The graphical version of the installer is only available for a limited
+number of architectures, including &arch-title;. 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. It also has a few usability
+advantages such as the option to use a mouse, and in some cases several
+questions can be displayed on a single screen.
+
+</para><para arch="x86">
+
+The graphical installer is available with all CD images and with the
+hd-media installation method. As the graphical installer uses a separate
+(much larger) initrd than the regular installer, it has to be booted using
+<userinput>installgui</userinput> instead of <userinput>install</userinput>.
+Analogous, the expert and rescue modes are booted using
+<userinput>expertgui</userinput> and <userinput>rescuegui</userinput>
+respectively.
+
+</para><para arch="x86">
+
+It is also available as a special <quote>mini</quote> ISO
+image<footnote id="gtk-miniiso">
+
+<para>
+The mini ISO image can be downloaded from a Debian mirror as described
+in <xref linkend="downloading-files"/>. Look for <quote>gtk-miniiso</quote>.
+</para>
+
+</footnote>, which is mainly useful for testing; in this case the image is
+booted just using <userinput>install</userinput>. There is no graphical
+installer image that can be netbooted.
+
+</para><para arch="powerpc">
+
+For &arch-title;, currently only an experimental <quote>mini</quote> ISO
+image is available<footnote id="gtk-miniiso">

+<para>
+The mini ISO image can be downloaded from a Debian mirror as described
+in <xref linkend="downloading-files"/>. Look for <quote>gtk-miniiso</quote>.
+</para>
+
+</footnote>. It should work on almost all PowerPC systems that have
+an ATI graphical card, but is unlikely to work on other systems.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The graphical installer requires significantly more memory to run than
+the regular installer: &minimum-memory-gtk;. If insufficient memory is
+available, it will automatically fall back to the regular
+<quote>newt</quote> frontend.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You can add boot parameters when starting the graphical installer, just as
+with the regular installer. One of those parameters allows you to configure
+the mouse for left-handed use. See <xref linkend="boot-parms"/> for valid
+parameters.

+  <title>Using the graphical installer</title>
+<para>
+
+As already mentioned, the graphical installer basically works the same as
+the regular installer and thus the rest of this manual can be used to guide
+you through the installation process.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you prefer using the keyboard over the mouse, there are two things you
+need to know. 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. For example,
+to switch to VT1 you would use: <keycombo> <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
+<keycap>Left Alt</keycap> <keycap>F1</keycap> </keycombo>.
