Comment:
d-i stretch: adjust screenshots and explanations.

  
  When you do a Debian Edu installation, you have a few options to choose from. Don't be afraid; there aren't many. We have done a good job of hiding the complexity of Debian during the installation and beyond. However, Debian Edu is Debian, and if you want there are more than 42,000 packages to choose from and a billion configuration options. For the majority of our users, our defaults should be fine.

  ==== Additional boot parameters for installations ====
  
- On i386/amd64, boot options can be edited by pressing the TAB key in the boot menu.
+ In both cases, boot options can be edited by pressing the TAB key in the boot menu.
  
-  * The multi-architecture USB flash drive / Blu-ray disc image defaults to using amd64-installgui on 64-bit x86 machines, and installgui on 32-bit x86 machines.
-  * If you want to boot the amd64 text mode with the multi-architecture image, that would be {{{amd64-install}}}.
-  * Likewise you can choose {{{amd64-expertgui}}} to get the GUI version on amd64.
-  * If you want to boot the i386 mode with the multi-arch image on an amd64 machine you need to manually select {{{install}}} (text mode) or {{{expertgui}}} (graphical mode).
   * You can use an existing HTTP proxy service on the network to speed up the installation of the main server profile from CD. Add {{{mirror/http/proxy=http://10.0.2.2:3128/}}} as an additional boot parameter.
   * If you have already installed the main server profile on a machine, further installations should be done via PXE, as this will automatically use the proxy of the main server.
   * To install the '''GNOME''' desktop instead of the '''MATE"''' desktop, add {{{desktop=gnome}}} to the kernel boot parameters.
