      <para>Install</para>

      <para>Use this option for a fresh <application>Mageia</application>
      installation.</para>

    <listitem>
      <para>Upgrade</para>

      <para>If you have one or more <application>Mageia</application> installations on your
      system, the installer will allow you to upgrade one of them to the latest release.</para>

<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 
	Mageia version that had already reached its End	Of Life when this 
	one was released, then it is better to do a clean install while 
	preserving your <literal>/home</literal> partition.</para>
</warning>
    </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>

  <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>
