<p>Additionally, Red Hat Linux allows you to mount NFS volumes when your system
boots; this allows directory trees to be shared across a network.
Choose <b>Add NFS</b>; then enter the hostname of the NFS server, the
path to the NFS volume, and the local mount point for that volume (see
Figure <a href="doc017.html#f13">13</a>).

<title>Selecting Individual Packages</title>

<a name="i53">

<p>After selecting the components you wish to install, you may select or
deselect individual packages.  The installation program presents a list
of the package groups available; select a group to examine and press
<tt>[Enter]</tt>.  The installation program presents a list of the packages
in that group, which you may select or deselect using <tt>[Space]</tt>.  You

<p><h4><a name="s2.4.12.3">2.4.12.3 Package Dependencies</a></h4>
<title>Package Dependencies</title>


<p>Many software packages, in order to work correctly, depend on other
software packages or libraries to be installed on your system.  For
example, many of the graphical Red Hat system administration tools
require the <tt>python</tt> and <tt>pythonlib</tt> packages.  To make sure
your system has all the packages it needs in order to be fully
functional, Red Hat Linux checks <em>dependencies</em> each time you install
or uninstall software packages.

<p>After you have finished selecting packages to install, the installation
program checks the list of selected packages for dependencies.  If any
package requires another package which you have not selected to
install, the program presents a list of these <em>unresolved
dependencies</em> and gives you the opportunity to resolve them (see Figure
<a href="doc017.html#f16">16</a>). If you simply press <b>OK</b>, the
program will resolve them automatically by adding all required packages
to the list of selected packages.

<p>After all package dependencies are resolved, the installation program
begins to install packages; it leaves a complete log of what it
installs in <tt>/tmp/install.log</tt> on your Red Hat Linux system.

<p><h4><a name="s2.4.14.1">2.4.14.1 Configuring the Metro-X Server</a></h4>
<title>Configuring the Metro-X Server</title>


<p>If you are installing from an Official Red Hat Linux/Intel CD, you may install
one copy of MetroLink's Metro-X server, a high-quality commercial X
server for Linux.  Please see the MetroLink license (paper copy)
accompanying your Red Hat Linux CD for license information.  If you choose to
use Metro-X, the install program launches the Metro-X configuration
utility <tt>configX</tt>; please see Chapter <a href="doc036.html#s5">5</a>,
Section <a href="doc039.html#s5.3">5.3</a> for more information on how to use
<tt>configX</tt>.

<p><h4><a name="s2.4.14.2">2.4.14.2 Configuring an XFree86 Server</a></h4>
<title>Configuring an XFree86 Server</title>


<p>If you wish to use XFree86 (because Metro-X may not support your video
card, because you have already installed Metro-X on another machine,
because Metro-X was not included with your copy of Red Hat Linux/Intel, or
because you simply prefer to use XFree86), the install program launches
the <tt>Xconfigurator</tt> utility, which is described in detail in
Chapter <a href="doc036.html#s5">5</a>, Section <a href="doc038.html#s5.2">5.2</a>.

<p><tt>Xconfigurator</tt> first presents a list of video cards.  Select your
video card from the list and press <tt>[Enter]</tt>.  If your video card
does not appear on the list, XFree86 may not support it; however, if
you have technical knowledge about your card, you may choose
<b>Unlisted Card</b> and attempt to configure it anyway.

<p>Once you have selected your video card, the installation program
installs the appropriate XFree86 server, and <tt>Xconfigurator</tt>
presents a list of monitors.  If your monitor appears on the list,
select it and press <tt>[Enter]</tt>.  Otherwise, select <b>Custom</b>. If
you do select <b>Custom</b>, <tt>Xconfigurator</tt> prompts you to
select the horizontal sync range and vertical sync range of your
monitor (these values are generally available in the documentation
which accompanies your monitor, or from your monitor's vendor or
manufacturer).

<p><b>Please Note:</b> It is not recommended to select a monitor ``similar'' to
your monitor unless you are certain that the monitor you are selecting
does not exceed the capabilities of your monitor.  If you do so, it is
possible you may overclock your monitor and damage or destroy it.

<p>Next, <tt>Xconfigurator</tt> prompts you for the amount of video memory
installed on your video card.  If you are not sure, please consult the
documentation accompanying your video card.  It ought not to damage
your video card by choosing more memory than is available, but the
XFree86 server may not start correctly if you do.

<p>If the video card you selected might have a video clockchip,
<tt>Xconfigurator</tt> presents a list of clockchips.  The recommended
choice is <b>No Clockchip Setting</b>, since XFree86 can
automatically detect the proper clockchip in most cases.

<p>Finally, <tt>Xconfigurator</tt> prompts you to select the video modes you
wish to use; select one or more modes by pressing <tt>[Space]</tt>.
<tt>Xconfigurator</tt> then writes a configuration file containing all of
your choices to <tt>/etc/X11/XF86Config</tt>.

<p><h3><a name="s2.4.15">2.4.15 Configuring Networking</a></h3>
<title>Configuring Networking</title>


<a name="i56">

<p>After assisting you in configuring an X server, the installation
program gives you an opportunity to configure (or reconfigure)
networking.  If you are installing from CD-ROM or from a local hard
disk, the installation program asks if you want to configure
networking.  If you choose <b>No</b>, your Red Hat Linux system will be a
standalone workstation.  If you choose <b>Yes</b>, you may configure
networking as described below.

<p>If you are installing Red Hat Linux via NFS or FTP, you will have already
configured temporary networking information.  The install program
offers you three choices:

<p><ul>

<p><li>
Keep the setup you have been using to install with; all the networking
information you entered previously becomes part of your system's
permanent configuration.

<p><li>
Reconfigure networking; the installation program presents the network
configuration dialogs described below with the values you used during
installation filled in as defaults.  Choose this if your system will be
installed on a network other than the one you used to install Red Hat Linux.

<p><li>
Don't set up networking at all; your system will not have networking
configured.  Choose this if you installed your system over a network,
but it will be used as a standalone workstation.

<p></ul>

<p><h4><a name="s2.4.15.1">2.4.15.1 Network Configuration Dialogs</a></h4>
<title>Network Configuration Dialogs</title>


<p>After the installation program has found your network card, it presents
several dialogs for configuring your sytem's permanent TCP/IP
networking. This feature allows greater flexibility if you want to install from a
network other than the one where the machine will ``live''.  Figure
<a href="doc017.html#f5">5</a> contains example networking information. 

<p>The first dialog asks you for IP and other network addresses (see
Figure <a href="doc017.html#f6">6</a>).  Enter the <b>IP address</b> you are
using during installation and press <tt>[Enter]</tt>.  The installation
program attempts to guess your <b>Netmask</b> based on your IP
address; you may change the netmask if it is incorrect.  Press
<tt>[Enter]</tt>.  The installation program guesses the <b>Default
gateway</b> and <b>Primary nameserver</b> addresses from your IP address
and netmask; you may change them if they are incorrect. Choose
<b>OK</b> to continue.


<p>The second dialog prompts you for a domain name, a hostname, and other
networking information (see Figure <a href="doc017.html#f7">7</a>). Enter the
<b>Domain name</b> for your system and press <tt>[Enter]</tt>; the
installation program carries the domain name down to the <b>Host
name</b> field.  Enter the hostname you are using in front of the domain
name to form a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If your network has
more than one nameserver, you may enter IP addresses for additional
nameservers in the <b>Secondary nameserver</b> and <b>Tertiary
nameserver</b> fields. Choose <b>OK</b> to continue.

<title>Configuring a Printer</title>


<a name="i57">

<p>After you have set up networking, the installation program asks whether
you would like to configure a printer.  If you choose <b>Yes</b>, a
series of dialogs will assist you in configuring your printer.  The
following information applies to all printers:
