While this means we will be up to date right from the start, it also means a successful install depends on having a reliable Internet connection and any re-install will likely take longer than if we were installing from local media.īooting from the Cinnarch media brings up a series of boot menus which ask us which language we would like to use and we are given a chance to adjust the kernel's boot parameters.
