@@ -52,177 +52,7 @@ The installer ISO image includes the following:
 
 * Web-based management interface
 
-NOTE: All existing data on the selected drives will be removed during the
-installation process. The installer does not add boot menu entries for other
-operating systems.
-
-Please insert the xref:installation_prepare_media[prepared installation media]
-(for example, USB flash drive or CD-ROM) and boot from it.
-
-TIP: Make sure that booting from the installation medium (for example, USB) is
-enabled in your server's firmware settings. Secure boot needs to be disabled
-when booting an installer prior to {pve} version 8.1.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-grub-menu.png"]
-
-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.
-
-Install {pve} (Terminal UI, Serial Console)::
-
-Starts the terminal-mode installation wizard, additionally setting up the Linux
-kernel to use the (first) serial port of the machine for in- and output. This
-can be used if the machine is completely headless and only has a serial console
-available.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-tui-installer.png"]
-
-Both modes use the same code base for the actual installation process to
-benefit from more than a decade of bug fixes and ensure feature parity.
-
-TIP: The 'Terminal UI' option can be used in case the graphical installer does
-not work correctly, due to e.g. driver issues. See also
-xref:nomodeset_kernel_param[adding the `nomodeset` kernel parameter].
-
-Advanced Options: Install {pve} (Graphical, Debug Mode)::
-
-Starts the installation in debug mode. A console will be opened at several
-installation steps. This helps to debug the situation if something goes wrong.
-To exit a debug console, press `CTRL-D`. This option can be used to boot a live
-system with all basic tools available. You can use it, for example, to
-xref:chapter_zfs[repair a degraded ZFS 'rpool'] or fix the
-xref:sysboot[bootloader] for an existing {pve} setup.
-
-Advanced Options: Install {pve} (Terminal UI, Debug Mode)::
-
-Same as the graphical debug mode, but preparing the system to run the
-terminal-based installer instead.
-
-Advanced Options: Install {pve} (Serial Console Debug Mode)::
-
-Same the terminal-based debug mode, but additionally sets up the Linux kernel to
-use the (first) serial port of the machine for in- and output.
-
-Advanced Options: Rescue Boot::
-
-With this option you can boot an existing installation. It searches all attached
-hard disks. If it finds an existing installation, it boots directly into that
-disk using the Linux kernel from the ISO. This can be useful if there are
-problems with the bootloader (GRUB/`systemd-boot`) or the BIOS/UEFI is unable to
-read the boot block from the disk.
-
-Advanced Options: Test Memory (memtest86+)::
-
-Runs `memtest86+`. This is useful to check if the memory is functional and free
-of errors. Secure Boot must be turned off in the UEFI firmware setup utility to
-run this option.
-
-You normally select *Install {pve} (Graphical)* to start the installation.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-select-target-disk.png"]
-
-The first step is to read our EULA (End User License Agreement). Following this,
-you can select the target hard disk(s) for the installation.
-
-CAUTION: By default, the whole server is used and all existing data is removed.
-Make sure there is no important data on the server before proceeding with the
-installation.
-
-The `Options` button lets you select the target file system, which
-defaults to `ext4`. The installer uses LVM if you select
-`ext4` or `xfs` as a file system, and offers additional options to
-restrict LVM space (see xref:advanced_lvm_options[below]).
-
-{pve} can also be installed on ZFS. As ZFS offers several software RAID levels,
-this is an option for systems that don't have a hardware RAID controller. The
-target disks must be selected in the `Options` dialog. More ZFS specific
-settings can be changed under xref:advanced_zfs_options[`Advanced Options`].
-
-WARNING: ZFS on top of any hardware RAID is not supported and can result in data
-loss.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-select-location.png"]
-
-The next page asks for basic configuration options like your location, time
-zone, and keyboard layout. The location is used to select a nearby download
-server, in order to increase the speed of updates. The installer is usually able
-to auto-detect these settings, so you only need to change them in rare
-situations when auto-detection fails, or when you want to use a keyboard layout
-not commonly used in your country.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-set-password.png", float="left"]
-
-Next the password of the superuser (`root`) and an email address needs to be
-specified. The password must consist of at least 5 characters. It's highly
-recommended to use a stronger password. Some guidelines are:
-
-- Use a minimum password length of at least 12 characters.
-
-- Include lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, numbers, and symbols.
-
-- Avoid character repetition, keyboard patterns, common dictionary words,
-  letter or number sequences, usernames, relative or pet names, romantic links
-  (current or past), and biographical information (for example ID numbers,
-  ancestors' names or dates).
-
-The email address is used to send notifications to the system administrator.
-For example:
-
-- Information about available package updates.
-
-- Error messages from periodic 'cron' jobs.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-setup-network.png"]
-
-All those notification mails will be sent to the specified email address.
-
-The last step is the network configuration. Network interfaces that are 'UP'
-show a filled circle in front of their name in the drop down menu. Please note
-that during installation you can either specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address, but not
-both. To configure a dual stack node, add additional IP addresses after the
-installation.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-installation.png", float="left"]
-
-The next step shows a summary of the previously selected options. Please
-re-check every setting and use the `Previous` button if a setting needs to be
-changed.
-
-After clicking `Install`, the installer will begin to format the disks and copy
-packages to the target disk(s). Please wait until this step has finished; then
-remove the installation medium and restart your system.
-
-[thumbnail="screenshot/pve-install-summary.png"]
-
-Copying the packages usually takes several minutes, mostly depending on the
-speed of the installation medium and the target disk performance.
-
-When copying and setting up the packages has finished, you can reboot the
-server. This will be done automatically after a few seconds by default.
-
-.Installation Failure
-
-If the installation failed, check out specific errors on the second TTY
-('CTRL + ALT + F2') and ensure that the systems meets the
-xref:install_minimal_requirements[minimum requirements].
-
-If the installation is still not working, look at the
-xref:getting_help[how to get help chapter].
