Step 3. Installation

It is fairly easy to install the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server software.

Below are screenshots of the most important parts of the installation.

• Use the "TAB" key and arrow keys to move between items.
• Use the "SPACE" key to select items.
• Use the "ENTER" key to activate controls/buttons.
