<P>
If you have chosen the Generic VGA card, you are asked if you wish to probe for
settings. Choose not to probe, and after a moment, you should move on to the next section of
the install.

Network Configuration
</A></H4>
<P>If you will be installing this machine onto a Local Area Network (LAN), and you want
to set up networking now, you should choose the Yes button. Otherwise choose No.
If needed, you can configure networking after the install.
</P>
<P>If you have chosen Yes, you are asked what network card driver the program should
try. Scroll down the selection bar until you see one that matches your card. Tab to the Ok
button and press Enter. You are then asked if you need to supply any options for the card. If
you need to supply arguments for the card, they will be the IO address of the card
(supplied in Hexadecimal), and the interrupt that the card is using (example: io=0x330 and
irq=5). In most cases, the autoprobe will find the card.
</P>
<P>If the card is found, the next screen presents you with choices to set up your network.
If you have a bootp server running on your network that sets up the IP addresses and

bootp and select Ok. If not, input the information you received from your network administrator back in Hour 1.
</P>
<H4><A NAME="ch02_ 23">
Setting the Time Zone
</A></H4>
<P>You are next asked to set up your system's time zone and what your BIOS clock is set
to. The first toggle area, shown in Figure 2.11, asks if your computer's BIOS clock is set
to GMT. Using the BIOS clock at GMT enables Red Hat Linux to deal with daylight
savings changes, but can have the effect of turning other OS's clocks off.
</P>
<P>The next selection area on the screen asks what time zone you are in. Scroll to the
zone that best matches your time zone. Select Ok to continue with the install.
</P>

Selecting Which Services to Start

<P>The next section of the install goes over the services or daemons to
start when the system

<P>restarts. The dialog box shown in Figure 2.12, should contain a long scrollable list of
check boxes linked to a service that starts when you boot the machine. You can choose to get
more information on a service by scrolling to that service and pressing F1 to get a
short description on the service.
</P>
<P>Since you can get this screen after the installation by running the
ntsysv command, you should look at each service and decide if you want to start the first time you run the
box. For the most part, if a service was selected by default it should stay on, and if it wasn't
turned on should only be enabled when you have configured it later.

Certain services should only be turned off if you know what the
consequences are. Otherwise you may run into a system that is not fully bootable.
These services are as follows: atd, crond, inet,
kerneld, keytable, network, and syslog.

Selecting a Printer
</A></H4>
<P>You are next asked to configure a printer. Select Yes if you want to do this now, or No
if you don't have a printer or want to install it later.
</P>
<P>Selecting Yes brings up a dialog box asking where the printer is. There are three
selections available:
</P>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD>
Local
</TD><TD>
Meaning a printer connected to the computer.
</TD></TR><TR><TD>
Remote lpd
</TD><TD>
This printer is one connected to your LAN that can
communicate via lpd.
</TD></TR><TR><TD>
LAN Manager
</TD><TD>
If the network printer is printed to via a LAN Manager or
SMB printer server.
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>Choosing Local Printer asks for you to name the printer queue
(lp by default) and the spool directory that this printer will use. For the purposes of this install, you
should probably choose the default values and select Next. The computer then tries to determine
what printer ports are available, and asks you to match the printer to the ones found.
Pressing</P>
<A NAME="PAGENUM-27"><P>Page 27</P></A>
<P>Next sends you to the next section of the install.
</P>
<TABLE BGCOLOR=#FFFF99><TR><TD>JUST MINUTE</TD></TR><TR><TD>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
If you're trying to connect to a network printer, it would be a good idea to
skip this section until you can ask your system administrator for help. You
can always come back and add the printer later through X Window.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<P>Choosing Remote lpd printer brings up a dialog box asking you the name of the machine
you will be printing to, and the name of the queue on that machine. For example, if the
printer on the lpd print server is called laser, you would enter laser and in the next space
the hostname of the print server. Pressing Next sends you to the next section of the install.
</P>
<P>Choosing LAN Manager brings up a dialog box that will set up various
smbfs items for you. The first selection is the LAN Manager Host name, the next is the IP address of that
LAN Manager host, followed by the Share Name of the Printer and finally the Username
and Password that are needed to access the printer. Pressing Next sends you to the next
section of the install.
</P>
<B>
Finishing Printer Setup
</B>
<P>The next screens complete the Printer setup. You are first asked what kind of printer
you have. Choose a printer that is similar to your printer, and if not found, select a
text-only printer. Select Next and press Enter to begin choosing paper sizes. If the printer
has multiple resolutions available, choose the one that you want to use. Finally, select the
Stair Stepping option, if your printer does not send a carriage return at the end of a line
causing your printing to look tilted as everything becomes a run-on. When done with this
screen, select Next and press Enter.
</P>
<P>The next screen shows you all the values for the printer you have chosen. If you are
happy with these items, select Done and press Enter. If not choose Edit you will go back
through the printer selection. Once you're happy, press Done and you will go on to the next
stage of the install.
