NOTE When you enable the YPBind feature in the Network tab of the Linux Setup Tool, you might get a
blank screen for about 15–30 seconds after you have selected and saved all of your settings and have
exited the utility. This is normal. The boot process continues its execution after the screen returns.
Restoring the Linux Operating System
NOTE To restore the Linux OS, the HP Driver CD and Red Hat box set are required.

operating system, mixed drive types can be handled with the restoring media.
