Here is a list of the most important widgets shown in

and
Figure 2.2, “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.
• Scroll Bar — Scroll bars appear on the side or bottom of a window to control which part of a
list or document is currently in the window's frame. The scroll bar makes it easy to move to
any part of a file.
• Button Widget — Button widgets are the primary method of interacting with the installation
program. You progress through the windows of the installation program by navigating these
buttons, using the Tab and Enter keys. Buttons can be selected when they are highlighted.
• Cursor — Although not a widget, the cursor is used to select (and interact with) a particular
widget. As the cursor is moved from widget to widget, it may cause the widget to change
color, or the cursor itself may only appear positioned in or next to the widget. In

2.1. Using the Keyboard to Navigate
Navigation through the installation dialogs is performed through a simple set of keystrokes. To
move the cursor, use the Left, Right, Up, and Down arrow keys. Use Tab, and Alt-Tab to cycle
forward or backward through each widget on the screen. Along the bottom, most screens
