Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux ${DEBIAN_VERSION}! This is a Debian installation ${MEDIA_TYPE}, built on ${BUILD_DATE}. In addition to the default 'install' option, there is 'install-safe' which you should try if the system fails to boot at all (the typical symptom is a white screen which doesn't go away). For maximum control, you can use the 'expert' and 'expert-safe' options. The plain options are for the powerpc family of processors (from 601 to G4). The -power3 options are for IBM Power3 boxes, and the -power4 options are for IBM Power4 and Apple G5 boxes. ************************************ If in doubt, just choose 'install', and if that doesn't work, try 'install-safe'. ************************************
