Linux system setup and recovery

configuring your Linux workstation

getting started guide
Make sure there are no disks in the 3.5-inch floppy drive or the
CD-ROM drive, then turn on the power switch. As the workstation
boots, it describes what is happening with messages on the screen.
You do not need to respond to any messages you see. The start-up
process is completely automatic.
The setparms utility is run the first time the workstation is booted.
It allows you to set up important functionality of your workstation
before you login. These areas of functionality are: networking, the
Xserver, timezone, system time, root password, and keyboard
language. These areas will be discussed in more detail below.
setparms is written so that you can go back to a function as many
times as you need to and change it before you exit.
