sub setRootPassword_addUser() {
N("GNU/Linux is a multi-user system which means each user can have his or her
own preferences, own files and so on. But unlike \"root\", who is the
system administrator, the users you add at this point will not be authorized
to change anything except their own files and their own configurations,
protecting the system from unintentional or malicious changes which could
impact on the system as a whole. You'll have to create at least one regular
user for yourself -- this is the account which you should use for routine,
day-to-day usage. Although it's very easy to log in as \"root\" to do
anything and everything, it may also be very dangerous! A very simple
mistake could mean that your system will not work any more. If you make a
serious mistake as a regular user, the worst that can happen is that you'll
lose some information, but you will not affect the entire system.
The first field asks you for a real name. Of course, this is not mandatory
-- you can actually enter whatever you like. DrakX will use the first word
you type in this field and copy it to the \"%s\" one, which is the name
this user will enter to log onto the system. If you like, you may override
the default and change the user name. The next step is to enter a password.
From a security point of view, a non-privileged (regular) user password is
not as crucial as the \"root\" password, but that's no reason to neglect it
by making it blank or too simple: after all, your files could be the ones
at risk.
Once you click on \"%s\", you can add other users. Add a user for each one
of your friends, your father, your sister, etc. Click \"%s\" when you're
finished adding users.
Clicking the \"%s\" button allows you to change the default \"shell\" for
that user (bash by default).
When you're finished adding users, you'll be asked to choose a user who
will be automatically logged into the system when the computer boots up. If
you're interested in that feature (and do not care much about local
security), choose the desired user and window manager, then click on
\"%s\". If you're not interested in this feature, uncheck the \"%s\" box.", N("User name"), N("Accept user"), N("Next"), N("Advanced"), N("Next"), N("Do you want to use this feature?"));

sub ask_mntpoint_s() {
N("Listed here are the existing Linux partitions detected on your hard disk drive.
You can keep the choices made by the wizard, since they are good for most
common installations. If you make any changes, you must at least define a
root partition (\"/\"). Do not choose too small a partition or you will not
be able to install enough software. If you want to store your data on a
separate partition, you will also need to create a \"/home\" partition
(only possible if you have more than one Linux partition available).
Each partition is listed as follows: \"Name\", \"Capacity\".
\"Name\" is structured: \"hard disk drive type\", \"hard disk drive number\",
\"partition number\" (for example, \"hda1\").
\"Hard disk drive type\" is \"hd\" if your hard disk drive is an IDE hard disk drive and
\"sd\" if it is a SCSI hard disk drive.
\"Hard disk drive number\" is always a letter after \"hd\" or \"sd\". For IDE
hard disk drives:
* \"a\" means \"master hard disk drive on the primary IDE controller\";
* \"b\" means \"slave hard disk drive on the primary IDE controller\";
* \"c\" means \"master hard disk drive on the secondary IDE controller\";
* \"d\" means \"slave hard disk drive on the secondary IDE controller\".
With SCSI hard disk drives, an \"a\" means \"lowest SCSI ID\", a \"b\" means
\"second lowest SCSI ID\", etc.");

sub choosePackages() {
N("It's now time to specify which programs you wish to install on your system.
There are thousands of packages available for Mageia, and to make it
simpler to manage, they have been placed into groups of similar
applications.
Mageia sorts package groups in four categories. You can mix and
match applications from the various categories, so a ``Workstation''
installation can still have applications from the ``Server'' category
installed.
* \"%s\": if you plan to use your machine as a workstation, select one or
more of the groups in the workstation category.
* \"%s\": if you plan on using your machine for programming, select the
appropriate groups from that category. The special \"LSB\" group will
configure your system so that it complies as much as possible with the
Linux Standard Base specifications.
Selecting the \"LSB\" group will ensure 100%%-LSB compliance
of the system. However, if you do not select the \"LSB\" group you will
still have a system which is nearly 100%% LSB-compliant.
* \"%s\": if your machine is intended to be a server, select which of the
more common services you wish to install on your machine.
* \"%s\": this is where you will choose your preferred graphical
environment. At least one must be selected if you want to have a graphical
interface available.
Moving the mouse cursor over a group name will display a short explanatory
text about that group.
You can check the \"%s\" box, which is useful if you're familiar with the
packages being offered or if you want to have total control over what will
be installed.
If you start the installation in \"%s\" mode, you can deselect all groups
and prevent the installation of any new packages. This is useful for
repairing or updating an existing system.
If you deselect all groups when performing a regular installation (as
opposed to an upgrade), a dialog will pop up suggesting different options
for a minimal installation:
* \"%s\": install the minimum number of packages possible to have a
working graphical desktop.
* \"%s\": installs the base system plus basic utilities and their
documentation. This installation is suitable for setting up a server.
* \"%s\": will install the absolute minimum number of packages necessary
to get a working Linux system. With this installation you will only have a
command-line interface. The total size of this installation is about 65

a tree containing all packages classified by groups and subgroups. While
browsing the tree, you can select entire groups, subgroups, or individual
packages.
Whenever you select a package on the tree, a description will appear on the
right to let you know the purpose of that package.
!! If a server package has been selected, either because you specifically
chose the individual package or because it was part of a group of packages,
you'll be asked to confirm that you really want those servers to be
installed. By default Mageia will automatically start any installed
services at boot time. Even if they are safe and have no known issues at
the time the distribution was shipped, it is entirely possible that
security holes were discovered after this version of Mageia was
finalized. If you do not know what a particular service is supposed to do or
why it's being installed, then click \"%s\". Clicking \"%s\" will install
the listed services and they will be started automatically at boot time. !!
The \"%s\" option is used to disable the warning dialog which appears
whenever the installer automatically selects a package to resolve a
dependency issue. Some packages depend on others and the installation of
one particular package may require the installation of another package. The
installer can determine which packages are required to satisfy a dependency
to successfully complete the installation.
The tiny floppy disk icon at the bottom of the list allows you to load a
package list created during a previous installation. This is useful if you
have a number of machines that you wish to configure identically. Clicking
on this icon will ask you to insert the floppy disk created at the end of
another installation. See the second tip of the last step on how to create
such a floppy.", N("No"), N("Yes"), N("Automatic dependencies"));

A short explanatory text will be displayed about a service when it is
selected. However, if you're not sure whether a service is useful or not,
it is safer to leave the default behavior.
!! At this stage, be very careful if you intend to use your machine as a
server: you probably do not want to start any services which you do not need.
Please remember that some services can be dangerous if they're enabled on a
server. In general, select only those services you really need. !!");

N("You now need to decide where you want to install the %s
operating system on your hard disk drive. If your hard disk drive is empty or if an
existing operating system is using all the available space you will have to
partition the drive. Basically, partitioning a hard disk drive means to
logically divide it to create the space needed to install your new
Mageia system.
Because the process of partitioning a hard disk drive is usually irreversible
and can lead to data losses, partitioning can be intimidating and stressful
for the inexperienced user. Fortunately, DrakX includes a wizard which
simplifies this process. Before continuing with this step, read through the
rest of this section and above all, take your time.
Depending on the configuration of your hard disk drive, several options are
available:
* \"%s\". This option will perform an automatic partitioning of your blank
drive(s). If you use this option there will be no further prompts.
* \"%s\". The wizard has detected one or more existing Linux partitions on
your hard disk drive. If you want to use them, choose this option. You will then
be asked to choose the mount points associated with each of the partitions.
The legacy mount points are selected by default, and for the most part it's
a good idea to keep them.
* \"%s\". If Microsoft Windows is installed on your hard disk drive and takes
all the space available on it, you will have to create free space for
GNU/Linux. To do so, you can delete your Microsoft Windows partition and
data (see ``Erase entire disk'' solution) or resize your Microsoft Windows
FAT or NTFS partition. Resizing can be performed without the loss of any
data, provided you've previously defragmented the Windows partition.
Backing up your data is strongly recommended. Using this option is
recommended if you want to use both Mageia and Microsoft Windows on
the same computer.
Before choosing this option, please understand that after this
procedure, the size of your Microsoft Windows partition will be smaller
than when you started. You'll have less free space under Microsoft Windows
to store your data or to install new software.
* \"%s\". If you want to delete all data and all partitions present on
your hard disk drive and replace them with your new Mageia system, choose
this option. Be careful, because you will not be able to undo this operation
after you confirm.
!! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be deleted. !!
* \"%s\". This option appears when the hard disk drive is entirely taken by
Microsoft Windows. Choosing this option will simply erase everything on the
drive and begin fresh, partitioning everything from scratch.
!! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be lost. !!
* \"%s\". Choose this option if you want to manually partition your hard
drive. Be careful -- it is a powerful but dangerous choice and you can very
easily lose all your data. That's why this option is really only
recommended if you have done something like this before and have some
experience. For more instructions on how to use the DiskDrake utility,

unmount removable media such as floppies and CD-ROMs.
* \"%s\": use this option if you wish to use a wizard to partition your
hard disk drive. This is recommended if you do not have a good understanding of
partitioning.
* \"%s\": use this option to cancel your changes.
