+<warning>
+ <para>Only upgrading from a previous Mageia version that was
+ <emphasis>still supported</emphasis> when this installer's version
+ was released, has been thoroughly tested. If you want to upgrade a

+ <note>
+ <para>If during install you decide to stop the installation, it is
+ possible to reboot, but please think twice before you do this. Once a
+ partition has been formatted or updates have started to be installed, your
+ computer isn't in the same state anymore and rebooting it could very well
+ leave you with an unusable system. If in spite of that you are very sure
+ rebooting is what you want, go to a text terminal by pressing the three
+ keys <guilabel>Alt Ctrl F2</guilabel> at the same time. After that, press
+ <guilabel>Alt Ctrl Delete</guilabel> simultaneously to reboot.</para>
+ </note>
+
+ <tip>
+ <para>If you have discovered that you forgot to select an additional
+ language, you can return from the "Install or Upgrade" screen to the
+ language choice screen by pressing <guilabel>Alt Ctrl Home</guilabel>. Do
+ <emphasis>not</emphasis> do this later in the install.</para>
