+ <para>You can boot directly from the media you used to burn your image
+ (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM...). You usually just need to insert it in your CD/DVD
+ drive for the bootloader to launch the installation automatically after
+ rebooting the computer. If that does not happen you may need to
+ reconfigure your BIOS or press one key that will offer you to choose the
+ peripheral from which the computer will boot.</para>

+ directly on the USB device already plugged in a port. If that does not

+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Boot Mageia: That means Mageia 5 will start from the connected
+ media (CD/DVD or USB stick) without writing anything on the disk, so
+ expect a very slow system. Once the boot is done, you can proceed to
+ the installation on a hard disk.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Install Mageia: This choice will directly install Mageia on a
+ hard disk.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Boot from hard disk: This choice allows to boot from hard disk,
+ as usual, when no media (CD/DVD or USB stick) is connected. (not
+ working with Mageia 5).</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>In the bottom menu, are the Boot Options:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>F1 - Help. Explain the options "splash", "apm", "acpi" and
+ "Ide"</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>F2 - Language. Choose the display language of the
+ screens.</para>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>F3 - Screen resolution. Choice between text, 640x400, 800x600,
+ 1024x728</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>F4 - CD-Rom. CD-Rom or Other. Normally, the installation is
+ performed from the inserted installation medium. Here, select other
+ sources, like FTP or NFS servers. If the installation is carried out
+ in a network with an SLP server, select one of the installation
+ sources available on the server with this option.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>F5 - Driver. Yes or No. The system is aware about the presence
+ of an optional disk with a driver update and will require its
+ insertion during installation process.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>F6 - Kernel options. This is a way to specify options according
