<P>If you have any NFS filesystems to mount, you need to choose the Add NFS button at
the bottom of the screen. A second dialog box is brought up that asks for the address of the
NFS server, the NFS path, and the mount point, as shown in Figure 2.11.
</P>

<P>The installation program now asks you which partitions you want to format. You should
format them all unless there is some data you want to keep on any of them. It is a good idea
to check the Check for bad blocks during format box
also.
</P>

Installing Packages
</A></H4>
<P>After the partition(s) are formatted, you are ready to select the packages you want to be
installed and start the installation. You first have to choose which system components you
want to install (see Figure 2.12). Choose the components, and then you can go through and
select or deselect each individual package of each component (see Figure 2.13).
</P>

<P>Sometimes, certain programs depend on others to work properly. These are
called dependencies. If the installation program detects that some packages are missing that will be needed
for another package, it brings up a dialog box that enables you to add the missing packages,
as shown in Figure 2.14.

<P>After the packages are installed, you need to configure your mouse, X Window (if
installed), networking, printer, and clock.
</P>
<P>The next dialog box asks what type of mouse you have. Most of the newest Microsoft mice
use the Logitech protocol. If you choose a serial mouse, you are prompted for the COM port
in which the mouse is plugged. If you have a mouse plugged in the PS/2 type port, you
must select PS/2 Mouse, regardless of the type of mouse you have.
</P>
<P>If you installed the X Window System, the installation program will start Xconfigurator.
First, it prompts for your video card. If you don't see your video card and you have all the
information on the card, you can select Unlisted Card and try to configure it yourself.
</P>
<A NAME="PAGENUM-24"><P>Page 24</P></A>
<P>Second, Xconfigurator gives you a list of monitors from which to choose. Pick a monitor
that will match yours exactly. If it does not match exactly, there is a possibility that you could
destroy it by running it at a higher frequency than it was designed for. If you can't find
your monitor and you know the frequencies of the monitor, you can select Custom and enter
them yourself.
</P>
<P>Next, you are asked about the amount of memory on your video card. Then you are
presented with a menu of different video modes. Simply select the modes you want to be able to run
in and press Enter. This information is written to
/etc/X11/XF86Config.
</P>
<P>After you have your X server configured, the installation program asks whether you want
to configure networking. If you do not plan to connect your machine to a network, choose
No. Otherwise, choose Yes and you will be presented with a dialog box that asks for your IP
address, netmask, default gateway, and primary nameserver. You are then asked for your
domain name, hostname, and any additional nameservers.
</P>
<P>After you finish the network configuration, you are asked whether you want to set up a
printer. (You don't have to install the printer at this time; it can be set up later.) The installation
program asks what type of printer connection you are creating: Local, Remote, or
LAN-Manager. You are then asked for the name of the queue you are creating, the name of the spool
directory, the make and model of your printer, the size of paper your printer uses, and the depth of
color you want to use if your printer is color.
</P>
<P>If you are configuring a local printer, you also need to give the port to which your printer
is connected.
</P>
<P>If you are configuring a remote printer, you need to give the IP address of the host to which
the printer is connected and the name of the queue in the remote host.
</P>
<P>If you are configuring a LAN-Manager printer, you need to supply the name of the host
to which the printer is connected, the IP number of the host, the name of the printer, the
username you will use to access the printer, and the password.
</P>
<P>You are now presented with a dialog box to set your clock. The program asks what time
zone you are in and whether you want to set your CMOS clock to Greenwich Mean Time
(also known as GMT or UTC). If you set the clock for local time, both Linux and another
operating system (such as Windows 95) will use the clock. (Note that Windows 95 will reset
your clock when your local time changes.) If you set the clock to UTC, Linux will handle time
changes, but Windows 95 won't.
</P>
<H4><A NAME="ch02_ 15">
Setting Your Root Password
</A></H4>
<P>After you finish configuring the clock, you need to give your system a root password. The
next dialog box asks for that password. It must be at least six characters long and should contain
a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters and numbers. The password should not be based
on anything that someone could guess (your name, phone number, birthday, and so on). You
are
</P>
<A NAME="PAGENUM-25"><P>Page 25</P></A>
<P>
asked to enter the password twice for verification that you typed it correctly. Do not forget
this password, or you will not be able to log in to your system.
</P>
<H4><A NAME="ch02_ 16">
Finishing the Installation
</A></H4>
<P>After you set the root password, you are presented with a series of dialog boxes to set up
LILO (see Figure 2.15). For details on this, see Chapter 3 on configuring and installing LILO.
</P>
<BR>
Figure 2.15.<BR>
The Lilo Installation<BR>
dialog box.<BR>
<a href="02rhu15.html"><img src="images/tn_02rhu15_jpg.jpg"></a><BR>
<P>After you install LILO, the installation program reboots your system. Press Enter at the
boot: prompt. Enter root when prompted with login:, and enter the password you created
during the installation when prompted with
password:.
</P>

The Red Hat Package Manager
</A></H3>
<P>If you want to add packages to your Linux system in the future or upgrade current
packages, you can use the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM). RPM technology is a very easy way to
manage package installs and uninstalls. It keeps track of what is installed and any dependencies that
are not met, and then it notifies you of them. There is also a graphical interface to RPM that
can be accessed through the Control Panel while running X Window.
</P>
<H4><A NAME="ch02_ 18">
RPM Usage
</A></H4>
<P>
The basic usage of the rpm command to install a package is the following:
</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
rpm _I packagename.rpm
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->
<P>
To uninstall a package you use the following:
</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
rpm _u packagename.rpm
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->
<P>There are many other options available for RPM, but these two are the most commonly
used options.
</P>
<P>Packages for use with RPM are available at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/current/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
or any mirrors of this site.
