But unlike \"root\", who is the system administrator, the users you add at this point won't 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 won't 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 won't 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 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).

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 also install the \"2.4\" kernel series, instead of the default \"2.6\" one. This is to 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 your hard 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 drive means to logically divide it to create the space needed to install your new Mandrakelinux system. Because the process of partitioning a hard 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 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 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 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 Mandrakelinux 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 drive and replace them with your new Mandrakelinux system, choose this option. Be careful, because you won't 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 drive is entirely taken by Microsoft Windows. Choosing this option will simply erase everything on the
