+After choosing the correct entry (for example, 'Boot from USB') the {pve} menu
+will be displayed, and one of the following options can be selected:
+
+Install {pve} (Graphical)::
+
+Starts the normal installation.
+
+TIP: It's possible to use the installation wizard with a keyboard only. Buttons
+can be clicked by pressing the `ALT` key combined with the underlined character
+from the respective button. For example, `ALT + N` to press a `Next` button.
+
+Install {pve} (Terminal UI)::
+
+Starts the terminal-mode installation wizard. It provides the same overall
+installation experience as the graphical installer, but has generally better
+compatibility with very old and very new hardware.
