    <li><b>Printer Connection</b>: Where the printer is
        connected---<em>local</em>, <em>remote</em>, or

            <tt>lpd</tt> (the print server used on Linux and many other
            flavors of Unix).
            
        <li><b>LAN-Manager printer</b>: A <em>LAN-Manager</em>
            printer is connected to another machine on a

        while they are being printed.
        
    <li><b>Type of Printer</b>: The make and model of your

<p>    <ul>
    
    <li><b>Printer Device</b>: The printer port your printer
        is attached to.
        
    </ul>

<p><b>Remote LPD</b> printers also require the following information:

<p>    <li><b>Remote Host</b>: The name or IP number of the host the
        remote printer is connected to.
	
    <li><b>Remote Queue</b>: The name of the remote printer queue.

<p>    </ul>
    
<b>LAN Manager</b> printers also require the following information:

<p>    <ul>

        is connected to. 
	
    <li><b>LAN Manager IP</b>: The IP number of the host the SMB

<p>    <li><b>Share Name</b>: The name of the shared SMB printer.
    
    <li><b>Username</b>: The username you need to use to access the
        SMB printer (typically <tt>guest</tt> for Windows servers, or
	<tt>nobody</tt> for <tt>samba</tt> servers).
	
    <li><b>Password</b>: The password you ened to use to access the
        SMB printer (typically blank).
    
    </ul>

<p>When you have finished configuring a printer, the installation program
will ask you to confirm the choices you made.  After you confirm them,
you may configure another printer, or you may continue with the
installation.

<p><h3><a name="s2.4.17">2.4.17 Configuring the Clock</a></h3>
<title>Configuring the Clock</title>

<a name="i58">

<p>Next, the installation program presents a dialog to help you configure
your Red Hat Linux system's timezone.

<p>If you wish to set the hardware (CMOS) clock to GMT (Greenwich Mean
Time, also known as UTC, or Coordinated Universal Time), select
<b>Hardware clock set to GMT</b>.  Setting your hardware clock to GMT
means your Red Hat Linux system will properly handle daylight savings time, if
your timezone uses it.  Most networks use GMT.

<p>Select the timezone your system will be operating in from the list, and
press <tt>[Enter]</tt>.

<p>If you wish to change your timezone configuration after you have booted
your Red Hat Linux system, you may use the <tt>/usr/sbin/timeconfig</tt> command.

<p><h3><a name="s2.4.18">2.4.18 Setting a Root Password</a></h3>
<title>Setting a Root Password</title>


<a name="i59">

<p>After you have set up your system's timezone, the installation program
prompts you to set a <em>root password</em> for your system; this is
the password you will use to log into your Red Hat Linux system for the first
time.

<p>The root password must be at least six characters long; the password
you type is not echoed to the screen.  You must enter the password
twice; if the two passwords do not match, the installation program will
ask you to enter them again.

You ought to make the root password something you can remember, but not
something that is easy for someone else to guess.  Your name, your
phone number, <tt>qwerty</tt>, <tt>password</tt>, <tt>root</tt>, <tt>123456</tt>,
and <tt>anteater</tt> are all examples of poor passwords.  Good passwords
mix numerals with upper and lower case letters and do not contain
dictionary words: <tt>Aard387vark</tt> or <tt>420BMttNT</tt>, for example.
Remember that the password is case-sensitive.  Write down this password
and keep it in a secure place.

<p><b>Please Note:</b> The <em>root</em> user (also known as the
<em>superuser</em>) has complete access to the entire system; for this
reason, logging in as the root user is best done only to perform system
maintenance or administration, so that critical system files are not
inadvertently changed, moved, or deleted.  Please see Section
<a href="doc058.html#s8.1">8.1</a> for instructions on how to add a user for yourself
after you reboot your system.

<h3><a name="s2.4.19">2.4.19 Installing LILO</a></h3>
<title>Installing LILO</title>
<a name="i60">

<a name="i61">

<p>In order to be able to boot your Red Hat Linux system, you usually need to
install LILO (the LInux LOader).  You may install LILO in one of
several places:

<p><dl>

<p><dt><b>The Master Boot Record (MBR)</b><dd>
is the recommended place to install LILO, unless another operating
system loader (e.g., System Commander or OS/2's<a name="i62"> Boot
Manager) is already installed there.  When your machine boots, LILO
starts and presents the <tt>boot:</tt> prompt; you can boot Red Hat Linux or any
other operating system you configure LILO to boot (see below).

<p><dt><b>The first sector of your root partition</b><dd>
is recommended if you are already using another boot loader on your
system (such as OS/2's Boot Manager); then you can setup that boot
loader to start LILO and boot Red Hat Linux.

<p><dt><b>The first sector of a floppy diskette</b><dd>
is an alternative either of the above options; to boot Red Hat Linux, insert
the LILO diskette into your machine's floppy drive and reboot.  LILO
starts from the floppy and presents the <tt>boot:</tt> prompt.

<p></dl>

<p>Select the location you wish to install LILO and press <b>OK</b>. If
you do not wish to install LILO, press <b>Skip</b>.

<p><h4><a name="s2.4.19.1">2.4.19.1 Limitations of LILO</a></h4>
<title>Limitations of LILO</title>


<p>LILO is subject to some limitations imposed by most PC BIOSes.
Specifically, most BIOSes can't access more than two hard drives and
they can't access beyond cylinder 1023 (the 1024th cylinder) of any
drive.  Some more recent BIOSes do not have these limitations.

<p>All the things which LILO needs to access at boot time (including the
kernel) are located in the <tt>/boot</tt> directory of your root partition.

<p>Here are the ``rules'' of where <tt>/boot</tt> must live if you want to
install LILO on a hard drive:

<p><ol>

<p><li>
If you have 2 IDE (or EIDE) drives, <tt>/boot</tt> must live on one of
them. This also includes any IDE CD-ROM drives on your primary
controller. If you have one IDE hard drive, and one IDE CD-ROM on the
primary controller, <tt>/boot</tt> must live on the hard drive.

<p><li>
If you have one IDE (or EIDE) drive and one or more SCSI drives,
<tt>/boot</tt> must live either on the IDE drive or the SCSI drive that is
at ID 0.  No other SCSI IDs will work.

<p><li>
If you have SCSI only, <tt>/boot</tt> must live on a drive at ID 0 or ID
1.  No other SCSI IDs will work.

<p><li>
In any case, <tt>/boot</tt> must live below cylinder 1023.  For IDE (or
EIDE) drives, this generally means below the 512 MB mark; for SCSI
drives, it's generally below the 1 GB mark.

<p></ol>

<title>Adding Options to the LILO Boot Command Line</title>


<p>Finally, the installation program will ask if you wish to add default
options to the LILO boot command.  Any options you enter will be passed
to the Linux kernel every time it boots.  If you have an LBA drive,
check <b>Use linear mode</b>.  Press <b>OK</b> when finished.

<p><h4><a name="s2.4.19.3">2.4.19.3 Alternatives to LILO</a></h4>
<title>Alternatives to LILO</title>


<p>If you do not wish to use LILO to boot your Red Hat Linux system, there are a
few alternatives:

<p><dl>

<p><dt><b>LOADLIN</b><dd>
can load Linux from MS-DOS; unfortunately, it requires a copy of the
Linux kernel (and an initial ram disk, if you have a SCSI adapter) to
be available on an MS-DOS partition.  The only way to accomplish this
is to boot your Red Hat Linux system using some other method (e.g., from LILO
on a floppy) and then copy the kernel an MS-DOS partition.
<tt>LOADLIN</tt> is available from<br>
<tt><a href="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/system/Linux-boot/">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/system/Linux-boot/</a></tt> and <tt>sunsite</tt>'s 
various mirror sites.

<p><dt><b>SYSLINUX</b><dd>
is an MS-DOS program very similar to <tt>LOADLIN</tt>; it is also
available from <tt><a href="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/system/Linux-boot/">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/system/Linux-boot/</a></tt> and
<tt>sunsite</tt>'s various mirror sites.

<p><dt><b>Some commercial bootloaders,</b><dd>
such as <tt>System Commander</tt>, are able to boot Linux (but may still
require LILO to be installed in your Linux root partition).

<p></dl>

<p><h3><a name="s2.4.20">2.4.20 Finishing Up ...or Starting Up</a></h3>
<title>Finishing Up ...or Starting Up</title>


<p>After you have completed LILO installation, the installation program
will reboot your system.  Please don't forget to remove the
installation floppy from the diskette drive.

<p>At the <tt>boot:</tt> prompt, press <tt>[Enter]</tt> and watch your Red Hat Linux
system boot.  When it presents the <tt>login:</tt> prompt, enter
<tt>root</tt>; at the <tt>Password:</tt> prompt, type the root password you
set for your machine in Section <a href="doc017.html#s2.4.18">2.4.18</a>.
