@subsection Preparing for Installation
Once you have successfully booted your computer using the installation medium,
-you should end up with a root prompt. Several console TTYs are configured
-and can be used to run commands as root. TTY2 shows this documentation,
-browsable using the Info reader commands (@pxref{Top,,, info-stnd,
-Stand-alone GNU Info}). The installation system runs the GPM mouse
-daemon, which allows you to select text with the left mouse button and
-to paste it with the middle button.
+you should end up with the welcome page of the graphical installer. The
+graphical installer is a text-based user interface built upon the newt
+library. It shall guide you through all the different steps needed to install
+GNU GuixSD. However, as the graphical installer is still under heavy
+development, you might want to fallback to the original, shell based install
+process, by switching to TTYs 3 to 6 with the shortcuts CTRL-ALT-F[3-6]. The
+following sections describe the installation procedure assuming you're using
+one of those TTYs. They are configured and can be used to run commands as
+root.
