+ <title>Recovering a Broken System</title>
+<para>
+
+Sometimes, things go wrong, and the system you've carefully installed is no
+longer bootable. Perhaps the boot loader configuration broke while trying
+out a change, or perhaps a new kernel you installed won't boot, or perhaps
+cosmic rays hit your disk and flipped a bit in
+<filename>/sbin/init</filename>. Regardless of the cause, you'll need to
+have a system to work from while you fix it, and rescue mode can be useful
+for this.
+
+</para><para>
+
+<!-- TODO: describe what to do on arches where this isn't set up in the
+ bootloader -->
+
+To access rescue mode, type <userinput>rescue</userinput> at the
+<prompt>boot:</prompt> prompt, or boot with the
+<userinput>rescue/enable=true</userinput> boot parameter. You'll be shown
+the first few screens of the installer, with a note in the corner of the
+display to indicate that this is rescue mode, not a full installation. Don't
+worry, your system is not about to be overwritten! Rescue mode simply takes
+advantage of the hardware detection facilities available in the installer to
+ensure that your disks, network devices, and so on are available to you
+while repairing your system.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Instead of the partitioning tool, you should now be presented with a list of
+the partitions on your system, and asked to select one of them. Normally,
+you should select the partition containing the root file system that you
+need to repair. You may select partitions on RAID and LVM devices as well as
+those created directly on disks.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If possible, the installer will now present you with a shell prompt in the
+file system you selected, which you can use to perform any necessary
+repairs.
+
+<phrase arch="i386">
+For example, if you need to reinstall the GRUB boot loader into the master
+boot record of the first hard disk, you could enter the command
+<userinput>grub-install '(hd0)'</userinput> to do so.
+</phrase>
+
+</para><para>
+
+If the installer cannot run a usable shell in the root file system you
+selected, perhaps because the file system is corrupt, then it will issue a
+warning and offer to give you a shell in the installer environment instead.
+You may not have as many tools available in this environment, but they will
+often be enough to repair your system anyway. The root file system you
+selected will be mounted on the <filename>/target</filename> directory.
+
+</para><para>
+
+In either case, after you exit the shell, the system will reboot.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Finally, note that repairing broken systems can be difficult, and this
+manual does not attempt to go into all the things that might have gone wrong
+or how to fix them. If you have problems, consult an expert.

+ <title>Selecting Localization Options</title>
+
+<para>
+
+In most cases the first questions you will be asked concern the selection
+of localization options to be used both for the installation and for the
+installed system. The localization options consist of language, country
+and locales.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The language you choose will be used for the rest of the installation
+process, provided a translation of the different dialogs is available.
+If no valid translation is available for the selected language, the
+installer will default to English.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The selected country will be used later in the installation process to
+pick the default timezone and a Debian mirror appropriate for your
+geographic location. Language and country together will be used to set
+the default locale for your system and to help select your keyboard.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You will first be asked to select your preferred language. The language
+names are listed in both English (left side) and in the language itself
+(right side); the names on the right side are also shown in the proper
+script for the language. The list is sorted on the English names.
+At the top of the list is an extra option that allows you to select the
+<quote>C</quote> locale instead of a language. Choosing the <quote>C</quote>
+locale will result in the installation proceding in English; the installed
+system will have no localization support as the <classname>locales</classname>
+package will not be installed.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you selected a language that is recognized as an official language for
+more than one country<footnote>
+
+<para>
+
+In technical terms: where multiple locales exist for that language with
+differing country codes.
+
+</para>
+
+</footnote>, you will next be asked to select a country.
+If you choose <guimenuitem>Other</guimenuitem> at the bottom of the list,
+you will be presented with a list of all countries, grouped by continent.
+If the language has only one country associated with it, that country
+will be selected automatically.
+
+</para><para>
+
+A default locale will be selected based on the selected language and country.
+If you are installing at medium or low priority, you will have the option
+of selecting a different default locale and of selecting additional locales to
+be generated for the installed system.

+ <title>Installation Over the Network</title>
+
+<para arch="not-s390">
+
+One of the more interesting components is
+<firstterm>network-console</firstterm>. It allows you to do a large
+part of the installation over the network via SSH. The use of the
+network implies you will have to perform the first steps of the
+installation from the console, at least to the point of setting up
+the networking. (Although you can automate that part with
+<xref linkend="automatic-install"/>.)
+
+</para><para arch="not-s390">
+
+This component is not loaded into the main installation menu by default,
+so you have to explicitly ask for it.
+
+If you are installing from CD, you need to boot with medium priority or
+otherwise invoke the main installation menu and choose <guimenuitem>Load
+installer components from CD</guimenuitem> and from the list of
+additional components select <guimenuitem>network-console: Continue
+installation remotely using SSH</guimenuitem>. Successful load is
+indicated by a new menu entry called <guimenuitem>Continue
+installation remotely using SSH</guimenuitem>.
+
+</para><para arch="s390">
+
+For installations on &arch-title;, this is the default method after
+setting up the network.
+
+</para><para>
+
+<phrase arch="not-s390">After selecting this new entry, you</phrase>
+<phrase arch="s390">You</phrase> will be asked for a new password
+to be used for connecting to the installation system and for its
+confirmation. That's all. Now you should see a screen which instructs
+you to login remotely as the user <emphasis>installer</emphasis> with
+the password you just provided. Another important detail to notice on
+this screen is the fingerprint of this system. You need to transfer
+the fingerprint securely to the <quote>person who will continue the
+installation remotely</quote>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Should you decide to continue with the installation locally, you
+can always press &enterkey;, which will bring you back to
+the main menu, where you can select another component.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Now let's switch to the other side of the wire. As a prerequisite, you
+need to configure your terminal for UTF-8 encoding, because that is
+what the installation system uses. If you do not, remote installation
+will be still possible, but you may encounter strange display
+artefacts like destroyed dialog borders or unreadable non-ascii
+characters. Establishing a connection with the installation system
+is as simple as typing:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>ssh -l installer <replaceable>install_host</replaceable></userinput>
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+Where <replaceable>install_host</replaceable> is either the name
+or IP address of the computer being installed. Before the actual
+login the fingerprint of the remote system will be displayed and
+you will have to confirm that it is correct.
+
+</para><note><para>
+
+If you install several computers in turn and they happen to have the
+same IP address or hostname, <command>ssh</command> will refuse to connect
+to such host. The reason is that it will have different fingerprint, which
+is usually a sign of a spoofing attack. If you are sure this is not the
+case, you will need to delete the relevant line from
+<filename>~/.ssh/known_hosts</filename> and try again.
+
+</para></note><para>
+
+After the login you will be presented with an initial screen where you
+have two possibilities called <guimenuitem>Start menu</guimenuitem> and
+<guimenuitem>Start shell</guimenuitem>. The former brings you to the
+main installer menu, where you can continue with the installation as
+usual. The latter starts a shell from which you can examine and possibly
+fix the remote system. You should only start one SSH session for the
+installation menu, but may start multiple sessions for shells.
+
+</para><warning><para>
+
+After you have started the installation remotely over SSH, you should
+not go back to the installation session running on the local console.
+Doing so may corrupt the database that holds the configuration of
+the new system. This in turn may result in a failed installation or
+problems with the installed system.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Also, if you are running the SSH session from an X terminal, you should
+not resize the window as that will result in the connection being
+terminated.
