Network Configuration

If you select Yes when asked to configure the network, Red Hat Linux 5.2 probes and finds

the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 controller on the AP200, AP400, and AP500. The probe does

not find the network controller on the SP700, and you should choose the Intel EtherExpress

Pro 100 controller.

Linux needs to know the timezone in which the system will be located. The user may select

the appropriate timezone and optionally designate if the system clock is set to Greenwich

Mean Time – Universal Coordinated Time (GMT/UTC).

Next, Red Hat Linux prompts to configure a Printer - local or networked. The queue

specifics may be configured and modified as necessary.

Next, Red Hat Linux prompts for the creation of a root user password. Type in the desired

password twice, pressing Enter after each entry. Select OK to continue.

Just as Windows NT prompts to create an Emergency Recovery Diskette, RedHat Linux

prompts the user to create an Emergency Boot Diskette. The Boot Diskette should be

created, especially if the system will dual boot between Linux and Windows NT.

The last steps in the Red Hat Linux installation process involve configuring LILO, the Linux

boot loader. RedHat' s Class Installation automates placement of LILO in the boot sector of

the primary disk.
