| - | - On //Welcome// and //License Agreement// screens click //Next// after reviewing them. | ||
| - | - You will be prompted to select a setup type. For basic setup, choose //Typical installation//. | ||
| - | - Then you will be prompted for //Initial User Settings//. This mainly allows you to select [[interfaces|user interface style]]. If you have used (and enjoyed) file managers like Total Commander, Servant Salamander or Norton Commander before, keep default //[[ui_commander|Commander interface]]//. Otherwise you will probably be more familiar with //[[ui_explorer|Explorer interface]]//.\\ \\ &screenshotpict(installer_user) | ||
| - | - After you select the interface, the //Ready to Install screen// opens. On this screen, you can review the installation options you've selected. Click //Install// to start the installation. | ||
