#* If you select graphical mode, your Pi will start with a GUI login screen, where you can select the user and enter the corresponding password. It has the advantage of presenting an easy-to-use interface, but this uses more memory and processing power than character mode. Graphical mode is best if you are going to use your Pi with graphical applications such as word processing or drawing.
#* If you select character mode, your Pi will start with a character-based login screen. You will be able to run character-based applications, and can switch into a graphical display by typing "startxfce4". Character mode is best if you are going to use your Pi as a server or controller.
# Select the video mode you wish to use. The default will use the HDMI output if it is available, and switch to the composite output (North American signal mode) if an HDMI display is not connected at boot time. If you are only going to use your Pi with the HDMI output connected to a TV or monitor, and the Firstboot display shows a black band around the edge of the screen, you should select the first option in the list (HDMI with no overscan).
