Console Installation
NOTE: Console installation only applies to Linux systems that are not running a graphical
environment.
The autorun script in the root of the resource media detects when there is no graphical environment
running and automatically starts the installer in a text-based mode. This mode provides the same options
as graphical installation with the exception of the MDCU specific options. The MDCU requires a graphical
environment to operate.
NOTE: The console mode installer provides the option to install the MDCU. However, a graphical
environment is required to utilize the MDCU.
