__("GNU/Linux is a multiuser system, and this means that each user can have his
own preferences, his own files and so on. You can read the ``User Guide''
to learn more. But unlike \"root\", which is the administrator, the users
you will add here will not be entitled to change anything except their own
files and their own configuration. You will have to create at least one
regular user for yourself. That account is where you should log in for
routine use. Although it is very practical to log in as \"root\" everyday,
it may also be very dangerous! The slightest mistake could mean that your
system would not work any more. If you make a serious mistake as a regular
user, you may only lose some information, but not the entire system.

First, you have to enter your real name. This is not mandatory, of course -
as you can actually enter whatever you want. DrakX will then take the first
word you have entered in the box and will bring it over to the \"User
name\". This is the name this particular user will use to log into the
system. You can change it. You then have to enter a password here. A
non-privileged (regular) user's password is not as crucial as that of
\"root\" from a security point of view, but that is no reason to neglect it
- after all, your files are at risk.

If you click on \"Accept user\", you can then add as many as you want. Add
a user for each one of your friends: your father or your sister, for
example. When you finish adding all the users you want, select \"Done\".

Clicking the \"Advanced\" button allows you to change the default \"shell\"
for that user (bash by default)."),

ask_mntpoint_s => 
__("Listed above are the existing Linux partitions detected on your hard drive.
You can keep the choices made by the wizard, they are good for most common
installs. 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 partition for \"/home\"
(only possible if you have more than one Linux partition available).

Each partition is listed as follows: \"Name\", \"Capacity\".

\"Name\" is structured: \"hard drive type\", \"hard drive number\",
\"partition number\" (for example, \"hda1\").

\"Hard drive type\" is \"hd\" if your hard drive is an IDE hard drive and
\"sd\" if it is a SCSI hard drive.

\"Hard drive number\" is always a letter after \"hd\" or \"sd\". For IDE
hard drives:

 * \"a\" means \"master hard drive on the primary IDE controller\",

 * \"b\" means \"slave hard drive on the primary IDE controller\",

 * \"c\" means \"master hard drive on the secondary IDE controller\",

 * \"d\" means \"slave hard drive on the secondary IDE controller\".

With SCSI hard drives, an \"a\" means \"lowest SCSI ID\", a \"b\" means
\"second lowest SCSI ID\", etc."),

chooseCd => 
__("The Mandrake Linux installation is spread out over several CDROMs. DrakX
knows if a selected package is located on another CDROM and will eject the
current CD and ask you to insert a different one as required."),

choosePackages => 
__("It is now time to specify which programs you wish to install on your
system. There are thousands of packages available for Mandrake Linux, and
you are not supposed to know them all by heart.

If you are performing a standard installation from CDROM, you will first be
asked to specify the CDs you currently have (in Expert mode only). Check
the CD labels and highlight the boxes corresponding to the CDs you have
available for installation. Click \"OK\" when you are ready to continue.

Packages are sorted in groups corresponding to a particular use of your
machine. The groups themselves are sorted into four sections:

 * \"Workstation\": if you plant to use your machine as a workstation,
select one or more of the corresponding groups.

 * \"Development\": if the machine is to be used for programming, choose the
desired group(s).

 * \"Server\": finally, if the machine is intended to be a server, you will
be able to select which of the most common services you wish to see
installed on the machine.

 * \"Graphical Environment\": this is where you will choose your preferred
graphical environment. At least one must be selected if you want to have a
graphical workstation!

Moving the mouse cursor over a group name will display a short explanatory
text about that group.

You can check the \"Individual package selection\" box, which is useful if
you are familiar with the packages being offered or if you want to have
total control over what will be installed.

If you started the installation in \"Update\" mode, you can unselect all
groups to avoid installing any new package. This is useful for repairing or
updating an existing system."),

choosePackagesTree => 
__("Finally, depending on your choice of whether or not to select individual
packages, you will be presented 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 appears on the
right. When your selection is finished, click the \"Install\" button which
will then launch the installation process. Depending on the speed of your
hardware and the number of packages that need to be installed, it may take
a while to complete the process. A time to complete estimate is displayed
on the screen to help you gauge if there is sufficient time to enjoy a cup
of coffee.

!! If a server package has been selected either intentionally or because it
was part of a whole group, you will be asked to confirm that you really
want those servers to be installed. Under Mandrake Linux, any installed
servers are started by default at boot time. Even if they are safe and have
no known issues at the time the distribution was shipped, it may happen
that security holes are discovered after this version of Mandrake Linux was
finalized. If you do not know what a particular service is supposed to do
or why it is being installed, then click \"No\". Clicking \"Yes\" will
install the listed services and they will be started automatically by
default. !!

The \"Automatic dependencies\" option simply disables the warning dialog
which appears whenever the installer automatically selects a package. This
occurs because it has determined that it needs to satisfy a dependency with
another package in order to successfully complete the installation.

The tiny floppy disc icon at the bottom of the list allows to load the
packages list chosen during a previous installation. Clicking on this icon
will ask you to insert a floppy disk previously created at the end of
another installation. See the second tip of last step on how to create such
a floppy."),

configureNetwork => 
__("If you wish to connect your computer to the Internet or to a local network,
please choose the correct option. Please turn on your device before
choosing the correct option to let DrakX detect it automatically.

Mandrake Linux proposes the configuration of an Internet connection at
installation time. Available connections are: traditional modem, ISDN
modem, ADSL connection, cable modem, and finally a simple LAN connection
(Ethernet).

Here, we will not detail each configuration. Simply make sure that you have
all the parameters from your Internet Service Provider or system
administrator.

You can consult the manual chapter about Internet connections for details
about the configuration, or simply wait until your system is installed and
use the program described there to configure your connection.

If you wish to configure the network later after installation or if you
have finished configuring your network connection, click \"Cancel\"."),

configureServices => 
__("You may now choose which services you wish to start at boot time.

Here are presented all the services available with the current
installation. Review them carefully and uncheck those which are not always
needed at boot time.

You can get a short explanatory text about a service by selecting a
specific service. However, if you are 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 will probably not want to start any services that you do not
need. Please remember that several services can be dangerous if they are
enabled on a server. In general, select only the services you really need."),

configureTimezoneGMT => 
__("GNU/Linux manages time in GMT (Greenwich Manage Time) and translates it in
local time according to the time zone you selected."),

configureX => 
__("X (for X Window System) is the heart of the GNU/Linux graphical interface
on which all the graphics environments (KDE, Gnome, AfterStep,
WindowMaker...) bundled with Mandrake Linux rely. In this section, DrakX
will try to configure X automatically.

It is extremely rare for it to fail, unless the hardware is very old (or
very new). If it succeeds, it will start X automatically with the best
resolution possible depending on the size of the monitor. A window will
then appear and ask you if you can see it.

If you are doing an \"Expert\" install, you will enter the X configuration
wizard. See the corresponding section of the manual for more information
about this wizard.

If you can see the message and answer \"Yes\", then DrakX will proceed to
the next step. If you cannot see the message, it simply means that the
configuration was wrong and the test will automatically end after 10
seconds, restoring the screen."),

configureXmain => 
__("The first time you try the X configuration, you may not be very satisfied
with its display (screen is too small, shifted left or right...). Hence,
even if X starts up correctly, DrakX then asks you if the configuration
suits you. It will also propose to change it by displaying a list of valid
modes it could find, asking you to select one.

As a last resort, if you still cannot get X to work, choose \"Change
graphics card\", select \"Unlisted card\", and when prompted on which
server you want, choose \"FBDev\". This is a failsafe option which works
with any modern graphics card. Then choose \"Test again\" to be sure."),

configureXxdm => 
__("Finally, you will be asked whether you want to see the graphical interface
at boot. Note this question will be asked even if you chose not to test the
configuration. Obviously, you want to answer \"No\" if your machine is to
act as a server, or if you were not successful in getting the display
configured."),

createBootdisk => 
__("The Mandrake Linux CDROM has a built-in rescue mode. You can access it by
booting from the CDROM, press the >>F1<< key at boot and type >>rescue<< at
the prompt. But in case your computer cannot boot from the CDROM, you
should come back to this step for help in at least two situations:

 * when installing the boot loader, DrakX will rewrite the boot sector (MBR)
of your main disk (unless you are using another boot manager) so that you
can start up with either Windows or GNU/Linux (assuming you have Windows in
your system). If you need to reinstall Windows, the Microsoft install
process will rewrite the boot sector, and then you will not be able to
start GNU/Linux!

 * if a problem arises and you cannot start up GNU/Linux from the hard disk,
this floppy disk will be the only means of starting up GNU/Linux. It
contains a fair number of system tools for restoring a system, which has
crashed due to a power failure, an unfortunate typing error, a typo in a
password, or any other reason.

When you click on this step, you will be asked to enter a disk inside the
drive. The floppy disk you will insert must be empty or contain data which
you do not need. You will not have to format it since DrakX will rewrite
the whole disk."),

doPartitionDisks => 
__("At this point you need to choose where on your hard drive to install your
Mandrake Linux operating system. If your hard drive is empty or if an
existing operating system is using all the space available, you will need
to partition it. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists of logically
dividing it to create space to install your new Mandrake Linux system.

Because the effects of the partitioning process are usually irreversible,
partitioning can be intimidating and stressful if you are an inexperienced
user. Fortunately, there is a wizard which simplifies this process. Before
beginning, please consult the manual and take your time.

If you are running the install in Expert mode, you will enter DiskDrake,
the Mandrake Linux partitioning tool, which allows you to fine-tune your
partitions. See the DiskDrake chapter of the manual. From the installation
interface, you can use the wizards as described here by clicking the
\"Wizard\" button of the dialog.

If partitions have already been defined, either from a previous
installation or from another partitioning tool, simply select those to
install your Linux system.

If partitions are not defined, you will need to create them using the
wizard. Depending on your hard drive configuration, several options are
available:

 * \"Use free space\": this option will simply lead to an automatic
partitioning of your blank drive(s). You will not be prompted further.

 * \"Use existing partition\": the wizard has detected one or more existing
Linux partitions on your hard drive. If you want to use them, choose this
option.

 * \"Use the free space on the Windows partition\": if Microsoft Windows is
installed on your hard drive and takes all the space available on it, you
have to create free space for Linux data. To do that, you can delete your
Microsoft Windows partition and data (see \"Erase entire disk\" or \"Expert
mode\" solutions) or resize your Microsoft Windows partition. Resizing can
be performed without the loss of any data. This solution is recommended if
you want to use both Mandrake Linux and Microsoft Windows on same computer.

   Before choosing this option, please understand that after this procedure,
the size of your Microsoft Windows partition will be smaller than at the
present time. You will have less free space under Microsoft Windows to
store your data or to install new software.

 * \"Erase entire disk\": if you want to delete all data and all partitions
present on your hard drive and replace them with your new Mandrake Linux
system, choose this option. Be careful with this solution because you will
not be able to revert your choice after confirmation.

   !! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be lost. !!

 * \"Remove Windows\": this will simply erase everything on the drive and
begin fresh, partitioning everything from scratch. All data on your disk
will be lost.

   !! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be lost. !!

 * \"Expert mode\": choose this option if you want to manually partition
your hard drive. Be careful - it is a powerful but dangerous choice. You
can very easily lose all your data. Hence, do not choose this unless you
know what you are doing."),

partitions must be defined.

To create partitions, you must first select a hard drive. You can select
the disk for partitioning by clicking on \"hda\" for the first IDE drive,
\"hdb\" for the second, \"sda\" for the first SCSI drive and so on.

To partition the selected hard drive, you can use these options:

 * \"Clear all\": this option deletes all partitions on the selected hard
drive.

 * \"Auto allocate\": this option allows you to automatically create Ext2
and swap partitions in free space of your hard drive.

 * \"Rescue partition table\": if your partition table is damaged, you can
try to recover it using this option. Please be careful and remember that it
can fail.

 * \"Undo\": use this option to cancel your changes.

 * \"Reload\": you can use this option if you wish to undo all changes and
load your initial partitions table.

 * \"Wizard\": use this option if you wish to use a wizard to partition your
hard drive. This is recommended if you do not have a good knowledge of
partitioning.

 * \"Restore from floppy\": this option will allow you to restore a
previously saved partition table from floppy disk.

 * \"Save to floppy\": saves the partition table to a floppy. Useful for
later partition-table recovery if necessary. It is strongly recommended to
perform this step.

 * \"Done\": when you have finished partitioning your hard drive, this will
save your changes back to disc.

Note: 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.

If you are installing on a PPC machine, you will want to create a small HFS
\"bootstrap\" partition of at least 1MB which will be used by the yaboot
boot loader. If you opt to make the partition a bit larger, say 50MB, you
may find it a useful place to store a spare kernel and ramdisk images for
emergency boot situations."),

\"partition number\" (for example, \"hda1\").

\"Hard drive type\" is \"hd\" if your hard dive is an IDE hard drive and
\"sd\" if it is a SCSI hard drive.

\"Hard drive number\" is always a letter after \"hd\" or \"sd\". With IDE

your other operating systems are safe from mistakes. Since \"root\" can

graphical front-ends for printing or choosing printer options.

approximately the same things the others can do, but it will print to
printers mounted on a Novell Network, because it supports IPX protocol, and
