15 seconds for the system to continue its boot process.
3. After two or three minutes, a series of messages are displayed as
various hardware and software subsystems are activated. Unless
something is wrong with your system, you are not asked to respond to
these messages.
4. A series of windows appears requesting the information you gathered
in Table 2-1, such as your host name, IP address, and time zone.
Enter the information as it is requested.
You should enter the host name when requested; otherwise, you will get
an error message when you log in.
If you do not have other pieces of information, press
default value. You can provide missing information later by logging into
a terminal emulator window as superuser and executing this command:
/sbin/set_parms
5. You are now asked if you want to set a root password. Specify the
root password now. The root password is the password used for the
superuser account. The superuser is a special user who has
permission to perform all system administration tasks. The user
name for the superuser is root.
6. When you have finished answering all of the questions, the
workstation completes its start-up sequence and displays the CDE
login screen.
