<title>Performing a Memory (RAM) Test</title>
<para>
Faults in memory modules may cause your system to freeze or crash
unpredictably. In some cases, memory faults may only cause errors
with particular combinations of software. For this reason, you
should test the memory of a computer before you install &FED; for
the first time, even if it has previously run other operating
systems.
</para>
<para>
To load the <command>memtest86</command> memory test utility,
enter <userinput>memtest86</userinput> at the
<prompt>boot:</prompt>
. The utility immediately starts the first test. By default,
<command>memtest86</command> carries out a total of ten tests.
</para>

To halt testing and reboot your computer, enter
<keycap>Esc</keycap> at any time.

<section id="sn-consoles-installation">
<title>Accessing the Consoles</title>
<para>
In addition to the main interface, or
<firstterm>console</firstterm>, the installation process provides
three other consoles. The shell console enables you to access the
command-line of the installation system. The two other consoles
display events as the installation proceeds. You may find these
consoles useful for diagnosing errors in the installation process.
</para>

To switch between the consoles of installation process, press the
key combinations shown below:
