If you don't like the +preselected defaults, feel free to change them to your liking. E.g. by +selecting the option Use as:, you can +choose different filesystem for this partition including the +possibility to use the partition for swap, software RAID, LVM, or not +use it at all. Other nice feature is the possibility to copy data from +existing partition onto this one. +When you are satisfied with your new partition, select +Done setting up the partition and you will be +thrown back to the partman's main screen. + + + +If you decide you want to change something about your partition, +simply select the partition, which will bring you to the partition +configuration menu. Because this is the same screen like when creating +a new partition, you can change the same set of options. One thing +which might not be very obvious at a first glance is that you can +resize the partition by selecting the item displaying the size of the +partition. Filesystems known to work are at least fat16, fat32, ext2, +ext3 and swap. This menu also allows you to delete a partition. + + + +Be sure to create at least two partitions: one for the +root filesystem (which must be mounted as +/) and one for swap. If you +forget to mount the root filesystem, partman won't +let you continue until you correct this issue. + + + +If you forget to select and format an EFI boot partition +partman will detect this and will not let you continue +until you allocate one. + + + +Capabilities of partman can be extended with installer +modules, but are dependent on your system's architecture. So if you can't +see all promised goodies, check if you have loaded all required modules +(e.g. partman-ext3, partman-xfs, +or partman-lvm). + + + +After you are satisfied with partitioning, select Finish +partitioning and write changes to disk from the partitioning +menu. You will be presented with a summary of changes made to the disks +and asked to confirm that the filesystems should be created as requested. + + + diff --git a/fi/using-d-i/modules/powerpc/quik-installer.xml b/fi/using-d-i/modules/powerpc/quik-installer.xml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ed6aa6a60 --- /dev/null +++ b/fi/using-d-i/modules/powerpc/quik-installer.xml @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ + + + + + Install <command>Quik</command> on a Hard Disk + + +The boot loader for OldWorld Power Macintosh machines is +quik.

Each component performs +its task, asking the user questions as necessary to do its job. +The questions themselves are given priorities, and the priority +of questions to be asked is set when the installer is started. + + + +When a default installation is performed, only essential (high priority) +questions will be asked. This results in a highly automated installation +process with little user interaction. Components are automatically run +in sequence; which components are run depends mainly on the installation +method you use and on your hardware. The installer will use default values +for questions that are not asked. + + + +If there is a problem, the user will see an error screen, and the +installer menu may be shown in order to select some alternative +action. If there are no problems, the user will never see the +installer menu, but will simply answer questions for each component +in turn. Serious error notifications are set to priority +critical so the user will always be notified. + + + +Some of the defaults that the installer uses can be influenced by passing +boot arguments when &d-i; is started. If, for example, you wish to +force static network configuration (DHCP is used by default if available), +you could add the boot parameter netcfg/disable_dhcp=true. +See for available options. + + + +Power users may be more comfortable with a menu-driven interface, +where each step is controlled by the user rather than the installer +performing each step automatically in sequence. To use the installer +in a manual, menu-driven way, add the boot argument +debconf/priority=medium. + + + +If your hardware requires you to pass options to kernel modules as +they are installed, you will need to start the installer in +expert mode. This can be done by either using the +expert command to start the installer or by adding +the boot argument debconf/priority=low. +Expert mode gives you full control over &d-i;. + + + +The normal installer display is character-based (as opposed to the now +more familiar graphical interface). The mouse is not operational in +this environment. Here are the keys you can use to navigate within the +various dialogs. The Tab or right +arrow keys move forward, and the Shift +Tab or left arrow keys +move backward between displayed buttons and selections. +The up and down arrow select +different items within a scrollable list, and also scroll the list +itself. In addition, in long lists, you can type a letter to cause the +list to scroll directly to the section with items starting with the +letter you typed and use Pg-Up and +Pg-Down to scroll the list in sections. The +space bar selects an item such as a checkbox. Use +&enterkey; to activate choices. + + + +S/390 does not support virtual consoles. You may open a second and third +ssh session to view the logs described below. + + + +Error messages are redirected to the third console. +You can access this console by +pressing Left AltF3 +(hold the left Alt key while pressing the +F3 function key); get back to +the main installer process with +Left AltF1. + + + +These messages can also be found in +/var/log/messages. After installation, this log +is copied to /var/log/debian-installer/messages on your +new system. Other installation messages may be found in +/var/log/ during the +installation, and /var/log/debian-installer/ +after the computer has been booted into the installed system. + + + + + + Components Introduction + + +Here is a list of installer components with a brief description +of each component's purpose.

Main-menu's +questions are set to priority medium, so if your priority is set to +high or critical (high is the default), you will not see the menu. On +the other hand, if there is an error which requires your intervention, +the question priority may be downgraded temporarily to allow you +to resolve the problem, and in that case the menu may appear. + + + +You can get to the main menu by selecting the Back button +repeatedly to back all the way out of the currently running component. + + + + + +languagechooser + +Shows a list of languages and language variants. The installer will +display messages in the chosen language, unless the translation for +that language is not complete. When a translation is not complete, +English messages are shown. + + + + + +countrychooser + +Shows a list of countries. The user may choose the country he lives +in. + + + + + +localechooser + +Allows the user to select localization options for the installation and +the installed system: language, country and locales. The installer will +display messages in the selected language, unless the translation for +that language is not complete in which case some messages may be shown +in English. + + + + + +kbd-chooser + +Shows a list of keyboards, from which the user chooses the model which +matches his own. + + + + + +hw-detect + +Automatically detects most of the system's hardware, including network +cards, disk drives, and PCMCIA. + + + + + +cdrom-detect + +Looks for and mounts a Debian installation CD. + + + + + +netcfg + +Configures the computer's network connections so it can communicate +over the internet. + + + + + +iso-scan + +Looks for ISO file systems, which may be on a CD-ROM or on the +hard drive. + + + + + +choose-mirror + +Presents a list of Debian archive mirrors.
