Options such as "Min", "Other Shell" and "network" are also provided under the security boot, which are specific modes of safe mode. Where "minimal" is a standard safe mode, "network" is a safe mode to allow network connectivity, while "other Shell" is a safe mode with a command prompt. In general, we choose the "minimum" or "network" mode.
