Thanks for choosing Mandrakelinux PPC. The following is a short explanation of the various options for booting the install CD. All options ending with "-power4" use the kernel for ppc 9xx and POWER4. All options ending with "-ppc601" use the kernel for ppc601 (failsafe). The default syntax with no suffix uses the kernel for ppc 603/604/75x/74xx. The default if you just hit enter is "install-gui". install-gui: uses Xorg fbdev mode install-text: text based install install-net: allows you to use a minimal boot CD, pulling the rest of the install from a network server install-net-text: text mode network install rescue: boots the rescue image rescue-net: boots the rescue image from a network server
