372 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Although it doesn t show up in the Yellow Dog 3.0.1 text menu, you can still type mediacheck after install or install-text to check your CD-ROMs. 3. After some cursory probing messages, you are prompted with a menu asking how you want to boot the CD-ROM. If you are using a New World ROM G3 or G4 system (blue-and-white G3 and above machine), type install at the prompt to use the graphical user interface method of installation. If you are using a G5 machine, type install-g5 at the prompt to install using the graphical user interface. If you can t get either of these methods to work, type install-safe for G3 or G4 machines or install-g5-safe for G5 machines to use a generic video mode for installation. If neither of these methods works, you can type install text for G3 or G4 machines or install-g5 text for G5 machines to install with the text installation method if you find that the graphical version doesn t work for you. Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 has only install and install-text options available. Choose install first, and if that doesn t work, choose install-text after rebooting. 4. The system will have been probed prior to this point to determine the hardware configuration. After the text messages, you are presented with a welcome screen. (You can choose to review the release notes by clicking the Release Notes button at the bottom-left side.) When you re ready to move on, click the Next button on the bottom-right side. 5. Select the language with which you are most comfortable. All future information presented by the installer will be in the language you select. 6. Choose the keyboard type that matches your current configuration. 7. Choose the type of installation you want. The options are: Personal Desktop Most home users will want this installation because it contains the most appropriate software set for home or office users (including laptops). Games, word processors, Internet tools, and other useful packages are included. Workstation Similar to the personal desktop type but includes tools for system administration and software development. Server Installs software needed for providing external services, including file and print, Web, and mail services. This is an advanced installation type and should be used only if you need it because you could misconfigure your system and create a security vulnerability. You can choose to install a graphical user interface as well, so if you don t want the extra overhead of a GUI, you can go without one on this type. Custom Provides the most flexibility because you can configure the partitions and software packages you want (everything!). This is your choice if you want to have more control over the installation.
