  <section>
    <title>Avvio</title>

    <para>The particular <emphasis>Welcome Screen</emphasis> that you will see when
booting with the NetInstall media depends on whether you are booting on a
BIOS or UEFI system. See the following two screenshots:</para>

      <title>BIOS Welcome Screen</title>

    <para>When booting up, you can choose to read the advanced help by pressing
<keycap>F2</keycap> and return to the installer screen by pressing
<keycap>F1</keycap>. Otherwise, the boot will continue with default
settings.</para>

    <para>For both BIOS and UEFI systems, you will then see a pop-up notification
saying that USB devices are being detected:</para>

  <section xreflabel="Installation Method" xml:id="installMethod">
    <title>Installation Method</title>

    <para>You can now choose an installation method via CDROM/HDD or Server (NFS, FTP
or HTTP).</para>

    <para>You also have the option to load third-party modules at this point.</para>

    <mediaobject>
      <imageobject>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>If you don't know what to choose for a Network Installation, choose
<emphasis>FTP server</emphasis>.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>On an enterprise network, FTP and rsync may be blocked, so using
<emphasis>HTTP server</emphasis> is a good choice in this case.</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>After choosing any of the server options you will automatically proceed to
the <emphasis><xref linkend="netConn"/></emphasis> section.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>CDROM/HDD</title>

      <para>If you choose to install from either a CDROM or hard disk (or USB stick), a
scan for storage devices will be performed:</para>

        <imageobject>
          <imagedata align="center" fileref="../netInstall-03.png"/>
        </imageobject>

          <para>Then specify the directory or the file name of the ISO</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>Leaving this open, or using the directory is easier, because the installer
then presents you with a list of directories and files from which you can
make your selection using the up and down arrows, as seen in the second of
the following images.</para>

      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>

      <para>Once the information has been provided for the location of the ISO, either
on CDROM or HDD, you will automatically proceed to <emphasis><xref
linkend="netStageTwo"/></emphasis> (the actual installation stage).</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Load Third-Party Modules</title>

      <para>If you wish to <emphasis>Load third-party modules</emphasis>, then you will
be asked for the location of the directory containing the modules:</para>

    <section>
      <title>Connection Device</title>

      <para>If you chose any of the server options at the <emphasis>Installation

    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Connection Type</title>

      <para>Now you need to choose whether the network device will use a DHCP, Static or
ADSL connection:</para>

      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata align="center" fileref="../netInstall-10.png"/>

      <para>If you are unsure which option is suitable, then you should probably accept
the default option (DHCP).</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Host/Domain Names</title>

      <para>If necessary, you can now supply your Host and Domain names:</para>

      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata align="center" fileref="../netInstall-11.png"/>
        </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>If you are unsure what this means then you can just leave the fields blank,
highlight <emphasis>Ok</emphasis> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap> to
proceed. The network connection will now be activated.</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>If you are using either FTP or HTTP, you will automatically proceed to the
<emphasis><xref linkend="netMirrors"/></emphasis> section</para>

      <para>If you are using NFS, you will be asked for the NFS server name and the
directory containing the Mageia distribution:</para>

      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata align="center" fileref="../netInstall-12.png"/>

  </section>

  <section xreflabel="Mirrors" xml:id="netMirrors">
    <title>Mirrors</title>

    <para>If using FTP or HTTP, you now have to specify a mirror to use. This can be
done manually or by choosing from a list</para>

        <imagedata align="center" fileref="../netInstall-13.png"/>
      </imageobject>

    <section>
      <title>Specify Manually</title>

      <para>You will find a list of all available mirrors here: <link
xlink:href="http://mirrors.mageia.org/">http://mirrors.mageia.org/</link></para>

      <para>Whichever mirror you choose, it should use the same tree-like structure from
"mageia" (or "Mageia") as used by the official Mageia mirrors. That means
.../mageia/distrib/&lt;version&gt;/&lt;arch&gt;</para>

      <para>A correct entry (when using an official mirror) in the <emphasis>Mageia
directory</emphasis> field below, could be:</para>

      <para><filename>pub/linux/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586</filename></para>

      <para>Another example (for Mageia 6 x86_64) could be:</para>

      <para><filename>pub/Mirrors/Mageia/distrib/6/x86_64</filename></para>

      <para>Other mirrors may have a different path structure and the screenshots below
show such examples:</para>
