When the boot process has completed, the
System Installation and Maintenance Menu
will appear:
Using Keys and Getting Help
Because these menus are designed to appear on both graphic and serial (ASCII), the menus are provided
in a form viewable on ASCII terminals. The use of the mouse is not available. Most keyboards will support
arrow keys while others do not. Also, some keyboards have page up and page down keys, help keys, etc,
that others do not. For this reason, there is a variety of methods which may be used to traverse the menus
and options in the installation screens:
•
To move between fields, use the Up-arrow and Down-arrow keys on the keyboard.
•
To make a selection, press the Enter key, and
•
To return to a previous screen, use the F3 or ESC (escape) key
•
For pop-up lists, help screens and other messages, you may use the arrow keys to move up and
down the list or to scroll the text. You may also use the Page-up and Page-down keys, if
available, or use CTRL-N for ‘next page’ and CTRL-P for ‘previous page’ if not.
Help Windows: The F1 or “!” key (shift/1) may be pressed at any field or menu item to obtain help
instructions, detailing the use and options for the corresponding item. A help window will appear in the
center of the screen as in the following example:
If the help information is lengthy for a particular option (indicated by [more] at the bottom), it may be
necessary to page the message using the page or control keys described above. To remove the help
window and return to the previous entry, press the F3 or ESC key.
