If you would like to observe the details of the boot process, you can start your computer in __verbose mode__. This allows you to inspect the Live system early boot process and to enter commands manually that would otherwise be executed automatically.

Since helloSystem 0.8.1: To boot in verbose mode, press the "k" key as soon as the screen becomes grey.

Before helloSystem 0.8.1:
1. While the bootloader is running, keep the {kbd}`Backspace` key pressed until you see an `OK` prompt (alternatively, for a short time during boot, it says `Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.`. Press the {kbd}`Esc` key on your keyboard immediately when you see this)
2. Type `unset boot_mute` and press the {kbd}`Enter` key. This disables the graphical splash screen and results in boot messages being shown
3. Type `boot -v` and press the {kbd}`Enter` key. This results in the system being booted in verbose mode
