to configure an installation source based on the type of media you used to boot. The full

will configure the closest network mirror, etc. This process takes time; therefore, if you
plan to use a different source than the default, this option will allow you to enter the

wait for the initial configuration to finish.

configuration in an error state - you must manually specify a source in the

installation. Alternatively, you can use the <option>inst.repo=</option>
option described above to configure a specific source directly in the boot menu.
