SCSI adapters at all, you will then be prompted on whether you have
one or not. If you have none, answer \"No\". If you have one or more,
answer \"Yes\". A list of drivers will then pop up, from which you
will have to select one.


After you have selected the driver, DrakX will ask if you
want to specify options for it. First, try and let the driver
probe for the hardware: it usually works fine.


If not, do not forget the information on your hardware that you
could get from your documentation or from Windows (if you have it
on your system), as suggested by the installation guide. These

logically dividing the computer's hard drive capacity into separate
areas for use.


If you have to create new partitions, use \"Auto allocate\" to automatically
create partitions for Linux. You can select the disk for partitionning by
clicking on \"hda\" for the first IDE drive,
\"hdb\" for the second or \"sda\" for the first SCSI drive and so on.


Two common partition are: the root partition (/), which is the starting
point of the filesystem's directory hierarchy, and /boot, which contains
all files necessary to start the operating system when the
computer is first turned on.


Because the effects of this process are usually irreversible, partitioning
can be intimidating and stressful to the unexperienced user. DiskDrake
simplifies the process so that it need not be. Consult the documentation
and take your time before proceeding."),

However, if your peripheral is ISA, autodetection will not work,

to the driver that you will have fetched from Windows' control
panel.

have given you all necessary information (IP address, network
submask or netmask for short, and hostname). If you're setting
up a private network at home for example, you should choose
addresses.

to know the name of the printing queue on this server.


If you want to access a SMB printer (which means, a printer located

SMB name (which is not its TCP/IP name), and possibly its IP address,

access the printer, and of course the name of the printer. The same goes
for a NetWare printer, except that you need no workgroup information."),

Root is the administrator of the system, and is the only user

this password carefully! Unauthorized use of the root account can
be extremely dangerous to the integrity of the system and its data,

preferences (graphical environment, program settings, etc.)
and its own \"home directory\", in which these preferences are
stored.


First of all, create an account for yourself! Even if you will be the only user
of the machine, you may NOT connect as root for daily use of the system: it's a
very high security risk. Making the system unusable is very often a typo away.

you will have created here, and login as root only for administration

setupBootloaderGeneral =>
 __("LILO main options are:
  - Boot device: Sets the name of the device (e.g. a hard disk
partition) that contains the boot sector. Unless you know specifically
otherwise, choose \"/dev/hda\".

  - Linear: Generate linear sector addresses instead of
sector/head/cylinder addresses. Linear addresses are translated at run
time and do not depend on disk geometry. Note that boot disks may not be
portable if \"linear\" is used, because the BIOS service to determine the
disk geometry does not work reliably for floppy  disks. When using
\"linear\" with large disks, /sbin/lilo may generate references to
inaccessible disk areas, because 3D sector addresses are not known
before boot time.

  - Compact: Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a
single read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
map smaller. Using \"compact\" is especially recommended when booting from
a floppy disk.

  - Delay before booting default image: Specifies the number in tenths
of a second the boot loader should wait before booting the first image.
This is useful on systems that immediately boot from the hard disk after
enabling the keyboard. The boot loader doesn't wait if \"delay\" is
omitted or is set to zero.

  - Video mode: This specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected
when booting. The following values are available: 
    * normal: select normal 80x25 text mode.
    * <number>:  use the corresponding text mode."),

used incorrectly. Use it only if you know how.

  - Choose security level: You can choose a security level for your
system.
    Please refer to the manual for more information.

  - Precise RAM size if needed: In some cases, Linux is unable to
correctly detect all the installed RAM on  some systems. If this is the
case, specify the correct quantity. Note: a difference of 2 or 4 Mb is
normal.

  - Removable media automounting: If you would prefer not to manually
mount removable drives (CD-ROM, Floppy, Zip) by typing \"mount and
