133  <p>You may be confused because of the number of boot options you have. After choosing "<b>CD 2: System Rescue CD</b>" you have a total of 15 options to boot <b>SystemRescueCD</b>. Here is a table of them.<br>  <p>Here is a list of the most important boot options:<br>

 In the table, I have marked the options you most likely need. You should choose either of the options on <span style="background-color:green">green background</span> if you have no idea and/or time to read the next sections.</p>

149  <!--empty line-->  <p>If you're accustomed to graphical environment, choose the option <b>directly start the graphical environment</b>. In graphical environment you're able to use graphical programs, like <b>GParted</b> and <b>Mozilla Firefox</b>. Terminals are also available, so using graphical environment doesn't prevent using command line. The only negative thing of graphical environment is that it slows booting process down a bit - and it's often just plain unneeded.<br>

 <p>If you're accustomed to graphical environment, choose <b>Graphical Environment</b>. In <b>Graphical Environment</b> you're able to use graphical programs, like <b>GParted</b> and <b>Mozilla Firefox</b>. Terminals are also available, so using <b>Graphical Environment</b> doesn't prevent using command line. The only negative thing of <b>Graphical Environment</b> is that it slows booting process down a bit - and it's often just plain unneeded.<br>  
150  <br>  <br>
151  Try <b>VESA</b>, if normal <b>Graphical Environment</b> doesn't work. <b>VESA</b> uses <b>Xvesa</b> graphical environment instead of <b>X.Org</b> that sometimes doesn't work. The drawback of <b>Xvesa</b> compared to <b>X.Org</b> is that <b>Xvesa</b> isn't optimized to any hardware, which means poorer performance.<br>  If you're accustomed to command line and know already that you're not going to use any graphical program, choose the option <b>framebuffer console in high resolution</b>. Booting to command line is a bit faster process than booting to graphical environment, and you can start X manually later.<br>
152  <br>  <br>
153  If you're accustomed to command line and know already that you're not going to use any graphical program, choose one of the normal options (just below "System Rescue CD Menu"). Booting to command line is a bit faster process than booting to graphical environment, and you can start X manually later.<br>  Alternatively, you can select <b>default boot options</b>. However, if you do so, the text in the screen will be bigger and you'll be able to see less text at once.<br>
154  <br>  <br>
155  You need the option <b>To RAM</b> if you plan to burn discs while using <b>SystemRescueCD</b>. The option copies the whole <b>SystemRescueCD</b> to the memory of the computer during the boot process, allowing you to put another disc to your CD/DVD writer while using <b>SystemRescueCD</b>. The negative thing is that reading all the contents of the disc slows boot process down a lot. There is no option which copies the disc to the memory and starts graphical environment automatically, but you can easily start it manually.<br>  If you want to chroot on an existing GNU/Linux partition containing 64-bit programs, select <b>64bit kernel with default options</b>. Even if you don't want to chroot, 64-bit kernel may be a bit faster than 32-bit one. However, 64-bit kernel requires a x86-64 processor, for example AMD Athlon 64 or Intel Core 2.<br>
156  <br>  <br>
157  <b>Mini Shell</b> is probably the least used option. It enters <b>BusyBox</b> shell after booting. <b>BusyBox</b> is an application that "combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable." However, <b>SystemRescueCD</b> contains most of these utilities anyway, so there is not much need to use this option. <a href="http://www.busybox.net/about.html" target="_blank">some information</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox" target="_blank">about BusyBox</a></p>  You need the option <b>all files cached to memory (docache)</b> if you plan to burn discs while using <b>SystemRescueCD</b>. The option copies the whole <b>SystemRescueCD</b> to the memory of the computer during the boot process, allowing you to put another disc to your CD/DVD writer while using <b>SystemRescueCD</b>. The negative thing is that reading all the contents of the disc slows boot process down a lot.<br>

 <p>After having chosen the column of the above table, you still have three options. Now you need to choose the kernel.<br>  
 <br>  
 The optimal kernel depends on the processor of your computer. If it's an IA-32 processor, like Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP, you should choose <b>32-bit kernel</b>, because <b>64-bit kernel</b> doesn't work at all. If you have a x86-64 processor, like AMD Athlon 64 or Intel Core 2, you can choose any kernel - the processor can run all of them. <b>64-bit kernel</b> should be preferred, because it allows chrooting on an existing GNU/Linux partition containing 64-bit programs.</br>  
158  <br>  <br>
159  If you don't know your processor architecture, try <b>64-bit kernel</b>. If your processor architecture is IA-32, you'll see the following error message:</p>  Finally, the option <b>do not ask for keyboard, use US keymap</b> may be useful if you have an English keyboard. By default, <b>SystemRescueCD</b> asks the keymap to use during boot. If you don't answer in 20 seconds, <b>SystemRescueCD</b> chooses the US keymap. However, if you have chosen the option <b>do not ask for keyboard, use US keymap</b> in the boot menu, <b>SystemRescueCD</b> chooses the US keymap immediately. No waiting, no questions.</p>
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p>At this stage, simply press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot and use always <b>32-bit kernel</b> on the machine.<br>  
 <br>  
 There is one more kernel - <b>32-bit kernel (alternative)</b>. It's designed to support more recent hardware than the regular kernel. Try it if standard <b>32-bit kernel</b> doesn't work.</p>

174  <p>The CD doesn't contain any <b>SystemRescueCD</b> documentation, because we don't have permission to redistribute it. In addition, our time is limited and we can't rewrite it all. So, you need to connect to the Internet to be able to read <b>SystemRescueCD</b>'s official online documentation.<br>  <p>The CD doesn't contain any <b>SystemRescueCD</b> documentation, because we don't have permission to redistribute it.

176  Luckily, establishing Internet connection should be easy, if you're in a network using DHCP. Nowadays, most people are. If you're using graphical mode and terminal isn't already open, open it via the menu that opens when you click the leftmost icon in the bottom pane.<br>  <b>SystemRescueCD</b> establishes an Internet connection automatically, if you're in a network using DHCP.

178  Then, type this command and press ENTER:</p>  <p>If the network doesn't use DHCP, you have to configure Internet settings by hand.
