19.1. Summary +

+
+
+
+ + + +
+ + +

As a review, + DrakX will present a summary of information it has gathered + about your system. Depending on the hardware installed on your + machine, you may have some or all of the following entries. Each + entry is made up of the hardware item to be configured, followed by + a quick summary of the current configuration. Click on the + corresponding Configure button to make any + changes. +

+ + +
+
    +
  • + +

    Timezone: by + default, DrakX deduces your time zone based on the country + you have chosen. You can click on the + Configure button here if this is not + correct. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Country / Region: check the + current country selection. If you're not in the country selected + by DrakX, click on the Configure + button and choose another. If your country isn't in the list + shown, click on the Other Countries button to get a + complete country list. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Bootloader: if you wish to + change your bootloader configuration, click this button. This + should be reserved to advanced users. Refer to the printed + documentation or the in-line help about bootloader configuration + in the Mageia Control Center. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Services: with this entry + you can fine tune which services will be run on your machine. If + you plan to use this machine as a server it's a good idea to + review this setup. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Keyboard: check the current + keyboard map configuration and change it if necessary. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Mouse: + verify the current mouse configuration and click on the button + to change it if necessary. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Sound card: if a sound card is + detected on your system, it will be displayed here. If you + notice the sound card isn't the one actually present on your + system, you can click on the button and choose a different + driver. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Graphical Interface: by + default, DrakX configures your graphical interface with + a resolution that best matches your video card and monitor + combination. If that doesn't suit you, or DrakX could + not automatically configure it (not + configured is displayed), click on + Configure to reconfigure your graphical + interface. You can click on Help from + within the configuration wizard to benefit from full in-line + help. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    + Network: if you wish to configure your + Internet or local network access, you can do so from here. Refer to + the printed documentation or use the Mageia Control Center after the + installation has finished to benefit from full in-line + help. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Proxies: allows you to configure + HTTP and FTP proxy addresses if the machine you're + installing on is to be located behind a proxy server. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    Security + Level: this entry allows you to redefine the security + level. +

    + +
    • +
  • + + +

    Firewall: if you plan to connect + your machine to the Internet, it's a good idea to protect yourself + from intrusions by setting up a firewall. Consult the + corresponding chapter of the + Starter Guide for details + about firewall settings. +

    + +
    • +

19.2. Time Zone Options +

+
+
+
+ + + + +
+ + +

This dialog appears after selecting a new time zone in + the time zones list. After you've chosen the location nearest to + your time zone, two more options are shown. +

+ + +

GNU/Linux manages + time in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and translates it to local time + according to the time zone you selected. If the clock on your + motherboard is set to local time, you may deactivate this by + deselecting Hardware clock set to GMT, which + will let GNU/Linux know that the system clock and the hardware + clock are in the same time zone. This is useful when the machine + also hosts another operating system. +

+ + +

The + Automatic time synchronization option will + automatically regulate the system clock by connecting to a remote + time server on the Internet. For this feature to work, you must + have a working Internet connection. We recommend that you choose a + time server located near you or the generic World + Wide entry which will select the best server for + you. This option actually installs a time server which can be used + by other machines on your local network as well. +

+ +
+ + + + + + +
+
+
+
+

19.3. Selecting Available Services + at Boot Time +

+
+
+
+ + + + +
+ + +

This + dialog is used to select which services you wish to start at boot + time. +

+ + +

DrakX will + list all services available on the current installation. Review + each of them carefully and uncheck those which aren't needed at + boot time. +

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Tip]Tip
+ +

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. +

+ +
+
+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
[Warning]Warning
+ +

At this stage, + be very careful if you intend to use your machine as a server: you + probably don't want to start any services which you don't + 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. +
