+ Installer is designed to help make your installation or upgrade as easy as

+ need.</p><div class="figure"><a id="dx-welcome"><!----></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 1. Installation Welcome Screen</b></p><div class="figure-contents"><p>Here are the default welcome screens when using a Mageia DVD, The

+ line called <span class="guilabel">Boot options</span> and propose four
+ entries:</p><p>- Default, it doesn't alter anything in the default
+ options.</p><p>- Safe Settings, priority is given to the safer options to the

+ management isn't taken into account.</p><p>- No Local APIC (Local Advanced Programmable Interrupt

+ Once a partition has been formatted or updates have started to be
+ installed, your computer is no longer in the same state and rebooting it
+ could very well leave you with an unusable system. If in spite of this
+ you are very sure rebooting is what you want, go to a text terminal by
+ pressing the three keys <span class="guibutton">Alt Ctrl F2</span> at the same
+ time. After that, press <span class="guibutton">Alt Ctrl Delete</span>
