Hello, I'm curious about the boot options during the server install immediately following selecting the language. The ones labeled 'F1, F2,...F6' at the bottom of the screen. I can't seem to find any usable information in the official documentation, and what I can find in the community docs seems to apply to the desktop live cd version, as the options are different from what I'm seeing when booting from the server install cd.
Specifically, the option 'F4 Modes' used to be for selecting graphics modes, but now contains options 'Normal', 'OEM Install', 'Install minimal system', and 'Install minimal virtual machine'. And 'F6 Boot Options' used to contain various parameters for booting with funky hardware... it still does, but has two other options 'Expert' and 'Free Software Only' which are similarly unexplained as to what exactly they do. Where can I find some documentation that covers what those options actually do, how they differ from the normal 'full' server install, etc.? Seems like some important options to be left completely out of the official documents... I've asked a number of places, from ubuntu.stackexchange.com to the Ubuntu forums, IRC, the ubuntu-server mailing list, etc. and haven't gotten much in the way of useful answers other than the 'minimal virtual machine' install is basically a JeOS version with some drivers left out. Otherwise... seems kind of like a black hole ;) Thanks, Monte -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
