    • UDC installation (verbose): Boots the system from the USB memory stick and shows the Linux boot messages in the process.
    • UDC Installation (Vesa only): Fallback mode to be used if the graphical boot screen cannot be displayed.
    • Memtest86+: Memory test, only available in legacy/BIOS mode. This option does not carry out an installation.
