Proceed in your native language if you wish. Instructions will remain in English.

Boot up the image

If you see the GRUB boot menu you should see the following:

'Try or Install Ubuntu GNOME'

Click on the release notes hyperlink to confirm that a browser launches and you are taken to the release notes discourse page.

The proposed keyboard corresponds with your keyboard

Select your keyboard layout and click on Continue

The 'Updates and other software' screen is displayed

On the screen 'Updates and other software', note the availability of the following components

Available options should represent the state of your system accurately

• (If network is available) 'Download updates while installing Ubuntu GNOME'
• (If on a 'laptop') 'Is plugged to a power source'
• 'Install third-party software...' option available

Click on the Continue button

The 'Installation type' screen is displayed

If there is only one hard disk, skip to step 18 (On the 'Where are you?' screen...). Otherwise, on the 'Installation type' screen verify that the drive selected on the Select drive list corresponds to the drive on the chart (e.g /dev/sda)

Selected drive is displayed on the chart
