    everyday use (office work, graphics manipulation and so on). Do not
    expect any compiler, development utility et al. installed.

    machine primarily for software development. You will then have a complete
    collection of software installed in order to compile, debug and format
    source code, or create software packages.

  - Server: choose this if the machine which you're installing Linux-Mandrake
    on is intended to be used as a server. Either a file server (NFS or SMB),
    a print server (Unix' lp (Line Printer) protocol or Windows style SMB
    printing), an authentication server (NIS), a database server and so on. As
    such, do not expect any gimmicks (KDE, GNOME...) to be installed.

setupSCSI =>

If DrakX finds a SCSI adapter and knows which driver to use it will
automatically install it (or them).

If you have no SCSI adapter, an ISA SCSI adapter, or a
PCI SCSI adapter that DrakX doesn't recognize you will be asked if a
SCSI adapter is present in your system. If there is no adapter present
you can just click 'No'. If you click 'Yes' a list of drivers will be
presented from which you can select your specific adapter.


If you had to manually specify your adapter, DrakX will
ask if you want to specify options for it.  You should allow DrakX to
probe the hardware for the options. This usually works well.

If not, you will need to provide options to the driver.
Review the Installation Guide for hints on retrieving this
information from Windows (if you have it on your system),
from hardware documentation, or from the manufacturer's
website (if you have Internet access)."),

doPartitionDisks =>
 __("At this point, you may choose what partition(s) to use to install
your Linux-Mandrake system if they have been already defined (from a
previous install of GNU/Linux or from another partitioning tool). In other
cases, hard drive partitions must be defined. This operation consists of
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 GNU/Linux. You can select the disk for partitioning 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 must not be. Consult the documentation
and take your time before proceeding.


You can reach any option using the keyboard: navigate through the partitions
using Tab and Up/Down arrows. When a partition is selected, you can use:

- Ctrl-c  to create a new partition (when an empty partition is selected)

- Ctrl-d  to delete a partition

- Ctrl-m  to set the mount point
"),

formatPartitions =>
 __("Any partitions that have been newly defined must be formatted for
use (formatting meaning creating a filesystem). At this time, you may
wish to re-format some already existing partitions to erase the data
they contain. Note: it is not necessary to re-format pre-existing
partitions, particularly if they contain files or data you wish to keep.
Typically retained are /home and /usr/local."),

install or upgrade.

DrakX will then check whether you have enough room to install them all. If not,
it will warn you about it. If you want to go on anyway, it will proceed onto
the installation of all selected groups but will drop some packages of lesser
interest. At the bottom of the list you can select the option
\"Individual package selection\"; in this case you will have to browse
through more than 1000 packages..."),

upgrade starts."),

check what it has done, you will be presented the list of mice
above.


If you agree with DrakX's settings, just click 'Ok'.
Otherwise you may choose the mouse that more closely matches your own
from the menu above.


In case of a serial mouse, you will also have to tell DrakX
which serial port it is connected to."),

configureNetwork =>

try to find an Ethernet adapter on your machine. PCI adapters
should be found and initialized automatically.
However, if your peripheral is ISA, autodetection will not work,
and you will have to choose a driver from the list that will appear then.


As for SCSI adapters, you can let the driver probe for the adapter
in the first time, otherwise you will have to specify the options
to the driver that you will have fetched from documentation of your
hardware.


If you install a Linux-Mandrake system on a machine which is part
of an already existing network, the network administrator will
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.


Choose \"Dialup with modem\" and the Internet connection with
a modem will be configured. DrakX will try to find your modem,
if it fails you will have to select the right serial port where
your modem is connected to."),

server: you will probably want not to start any services which you don't
want."),

configurePrinter =>
 __("GNU/Linux can deal with many types of printer. Each of these
types require a different setup. Note however that the print
spooler uses 'lp' as the default printer name; so you
must have one printer with such a name; but you can give
several names, separated by '|' characters, to a printer.
So, if you prefer to have a more meaningful name you just have
to put it first, eg: \"My Printer|lp\".
The printer having \"lp\" in its name(s) will be the default printer.


If your printer is physically connected to your computer, select
\"Local printer\". You will then have to tell which port your
printer is connected to, and select the appropriate filter.


If you want to access a printer located on a remote Unix machine,
you will have to select \"Remote lpd\". In order to make
it work, no username or password is required, but you will need
to know the name of the printing queue on this server.


If you want to access a SMB printer (which means, a printer located
on a remote Windows 9x/NT machine), you will have to specify its
SMB name (which is not its TCP/IP name), and possibly its IP address,
plus the username, workgroup and password required in order to
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."),

setRootPassword =>

system. The password must be entered twice to verify that both
password entries are identical.


Root is the administrator of the system, and is the only user
allowed to modify the system configuration. Therefore, choose
this password carefully! Unauthorized use of the root account can
be extremely dangerous to the integrity of the system and its data,
and other systems connected to it. The password should be a
mixture of alphanumeric characters and a least 8 characters long. It
should NEVER be written down. Do not make the password too long or
complicated, though: you must be able to remember without too much
effort."),

one or more account(s) for each person you want to allow to use
the computer. Note that each user account will have its own
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.


Therefore, you should connect to the system using the user account
you will have created here, and login as root only for administration
and maintenance purposes."),

    chipsets, but if you want to avoid bad surprises, leave this option unset.

    you don't know, select \"Medium\".

  - Precise RAM size if needed: unfortunately, in today's PC world, there is no
    standard method to ask the BIOS about the amount of RAM present in your
    computer. As a consequence, GNU/Linux may fail to detect your amount of RAM
    correctly. If this is the case, you can specify the correct amount of RAM
    here. Note that a difference of 2 or 4 MB is normal.

  - Removable media automounting: if you would prefer not to manually
    mount removable media (CD-ROM, Floppy, Zip) by typing \"mount\" and
    \"umount\", select this option. 

  - Enable NumLock at startup: if you want NumLock enabled after booting,
