You should have space on your hard disk to create a new disk partition of at
least 5 gigabytes to install a standard Ubuntu desktop system or at least
500 megabytes for a minimal server installation. You'll need more disk space
to install additional packages, depending on what you wish to do with your
new Ubuntu system.

See the Installation Guide or the FAQ for more information; both documents
are available at the Ubuntu web site, http://www.ubuntu.com/

Thank you for choosing Ubuntu!

Press F1 for the help index, or Escape to exit help.F3BOOT METHODSAvailable boot methods:

Install Ubuntu
  Start the installation -- this is the default option.
Test memory
  Perform a memory test.

("Ubuntu" may be replaced with other related operating system names. This
help text is generic.)

To use one of these boot methods, select it from the menu with the cursor
keys. Press F4 to select alternative start-up and installation modes. Press
F6 to edit boot parameters. Press F6 again to select from a menu of

Rescue a broken system
  Boot into rescue mode.

Press F1 for the help index, or Escape to exit help.F5SPECIAL BOOT PARAMETERS - OVERVIEWOn a few systems, you may need to specify a parameter by pressing F6 in
order to boot the system. For example, Linux may not be able to autodetect
your hardware, and you may need to explicitly specify its location or type
for it to be recognized.

For more information about what boot parameters you can use, press:

<F6F6>   boot parameters for special machines
<F7F7>   boot parameters for various disk controllers
<F8F8>   boot parameters understood by the install system

Many kernel modules are loaded dynamically by the installer, and parameters
for those modules cannot be given on the command line. To be prompted for
parameters when modules are loaded, boot in expert mode (see <F3F3>).

Press F1 for the help index, or Escape to exit help.F6SPECIAL BOOT PARAMETERS - VARIOUS HARDWAREYou can use the following boot parameters by pressing F6, in combination
with the boot method (see <F3F3>). If you use hex numbers you have to use
the 0x prefix (e.g., 0x300).

HARDWARE                               PARAMETER TO SPECIFY

IBM PS/1 or ValuePoint (IDE disk)      hd=cylinders,heads,sectors
Some IBM ThinkPads                     floppy.floppy=thinkpad
Protect I/O port regions               reserve=iobase,extent[,...]
Laptops with screen display problems   vga=771
Use first serial port at 9600 baud     console=ttyS0,9600n8
Force use of generic IDE driver        all_generic_ide=1

Possible (temporary) workarounds for lockups or other hardware failures:

disable buggy APIC interrupt routing   noapic nolapic
(partly) disable ACPI                  acpi=noirq or
acpi=off
disable USB                            nousb

you! We are especially interested in hearing about installation problems,
because in general they don't happen to only one person. We've either
already heard about your particular problem and can dispense a quick fix, or
we would like to hear about it and work through it with you, and the next
user who comes up with the same problem will profit from your experience!
