@subsection Preparing for Installation |

|
Once you have successfully booted your computer using the installation medium, |
|
|
|
you should end up with a root prompt. Several console TTYs are configured |
|
|
|
and can be used to run commands as root. TTY2 shows this documentation, |
|
|
|
browsable using the Info reader commands (@pxref{Top,,, info-stnd, |
|
|
|
Stand-alone GNU Info}). The installation system runs the GPM mouse |
|
|
|
daemon, which allows you to select text with the left mouse button and |
|
|
|
to paste it with the middle button. |
|
|
|
you should end up with the welcome page of the graphical installer. The |
|
|
|
graphical installer is a text-based user interface built upon the newt |
|
|
|
library. It shall guide you through all the different steps needed to install |
|
|
|
GNU GuixSD. However, as the graphical installer is still under heavy |
|
|
|
development, you might want to fallback to the original, shell based install |
|
|
|
process, by switching to TTYs 3 to 6 with the shortcuts CTRL-ALT-F[3-6]. The |
|
|
|
following sections describe the installation procedure assuming you're using |
|
|
|
one of those TTYs. They are configured and can be used to run commands as |
|
|
|
root. |
