The Terminal screen, which is a black humongous box, will allow to verify if you have a clean connection. In the Terminal screen, if you can read the words in English without any symbols, you know you have a clean connection. Click the Continue button if you have a clean connection; otherwise, click Cancel button to abort and to do the steps again.

In which ever way, it will be in one of the corners.
Click the button to go back to the Your Connection settings - Figure 1. In this case, proceed to Server Types.
