- We recommend that you use the graphical installer to install Fedora on your computer wherever possible. If you are installing Fedora on a system that lacks a graphical display, consider performing the installation over a VNC connection (see "Chapter 12. Installing Through VNC" in the <citetitle>Fedora 11 Installation Guide</citetitle>). If your system has a graphical display, but graphical installation fails, try booting with the <command>xdriver=vesa</command> option (see "Chapter 9. Boot Options" in the <citetitle>Fedora 11 Installation Guide</citetitle>) or with the <guilabel>Install system with basic video driver</guilabel> option when booting from the Fedora 11 Distro DVD.

- <para>
- The Fedora installation CDs and DVD provide you with an image file, <filename>boot.iso</filename> that you can burn to a CD and use to boot a system and start the installation process. Typically, you would do this prior to installing Fedora from a local hard drive or from a location on a network. You can now use the CD produced from the <filename>boot.iso</filename> image to start installation on a system that uses Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). CDs produced from older versions of <filename>boot.iso</filename> only worked with systems that used Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
