Figure 17.2. Installation Program Widgets as seen in Disk Druid
Here is a list of the most important widgets shown in Figure 17.1, “Installation Program Widgets
as seen in Boot Loader Configuration” and Figure 17.2, “Installation Program Widgets as
seen in Disk Druid”:
• Window — Windows (usually referred to as dialogs in this manual) appear on your screen
throughout the installation process. At times, one window may overlay another; in these
cases, you can only interact with the window on top. When you are finished in that window, it
disappears, allowing you to continue working in the window underneath.
• Checkbox — Checkboxes allow you to select or deselect a feature. The box displays either
an asterisk (selected) or a space (unselected). When the cursor is within a checkbox, press
Space to select or deselect a feature.
• Text Input — Text input lines are regions where you can enter information required by the
installation program. When the cursor rests on a text input line, you may enter and/or edit
information on that line.
• Text Widget — Text widgets are regions of the screen for the display of text. At times, text
widgets may also contain other widgets, such as checkboxes. If a text widget contains more
information than can be displayed in the space reserved for it, a scroll bar appears; if you
position the cursor within the text widget, you can then use the Up and Down arrow keys to
scroll through all the information available. Your current position is shown on the scroll bar by
a # character, which moves up and down the scroll bar as you scroll.
