__("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 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 onto 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 the \"root\"'
one 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)."),

__("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
installations. 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 =>

knows if a selected package is located on another CD-ROM 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 a CD-ROM, 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 plan to use your machine as a workstation,
select one or more of the corresponding groups;

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

 * \"Server\": if your machine is intended to be a server, you will be able
to select which of the most common services you wish to install on your
machine;

 * \"Graphical Environment\": finally, 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. If you unselect all groups when performing a regular
installation (by opposition to an upgrade), a dialog will pop up proposing
different options for a minimal installation:

 * \"With X\": install the fewer packages possible to have a working
graphical desktop;

 * \"With basic documentation\": installs the base system plus basic
utilities and their documentation. This installation is suitable for
setting up a server;

 * \"Truly minimal install\": will install the strict minimum necessary to
get a working Linux system, in command line only. This installation is
about 65Mb large.

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 \"Upgrade\" 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 whether or not you chose to be able 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. An estimate of the time it will take to
install everything 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 disk icon at the bottom of the list allows to load the
package 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."),

connect your computer to the Internet or to a local network, click \"OK\".
The autodetection of network devices and modem will be launched. If this
detection fails, uncheck the \"Use auto detection\" box next time. You may
also choose not to configure the network, or do it later; in that case,
simply click the \"Cancel\" button.

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 ``User Guide'' 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
are finished configuring your network connection, click \"Cancel\"."),

configureServices =>

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 which 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.

local time according to the time zone you selected. It is however possible
to deactivate this by unselecting \"Hardware clock set to GMT\" so that the
hardware clock is the same as the system clock. This is useful when the
machine is hosting another operating system like Windows.

The \"Automatic time synchronization\" option will automatically regulate
the clock by connecting to a remote time server on the Internet. In the
list that is presented, choose a server located near you. Of course you
must have a working Internet connection for this feature to work. It will
actually install on your machine a time server which can be optionally used
by other machines on your local network."),

configureX =>

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\" installation, 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 during the test, 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. Refer then to the Video
configuration section of the user guide for more information on how to
configure your display."),

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

 * when installing the bootloader, DrakX will rewrite the boot sector (MBR)
of your main disk (unless you are using another boot manager), to allow you
to 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.

If you say \"Yes\", 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 you want to install the Mandrake
Linux operating system on your hard drive. If your hard drive is empty or
if an existing operating system is using all the available space, 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 partitioning process' effects 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 installation in Expert mode, you will enter
DiskDrake, the Mandrake Linux partitioning tool, which allows you to
fine-tune your partitions. See the DiskDrake section in the ``User Guide''.
From the installation interface, you can use the wizards as described here
by clicking the dialog's \"Wizard\" button.

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. You will then be asked to choose the mount points associated to
each of the partitions. The legacy mount points are selected by default,
and you should generally keep them.

 * \"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 so, 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, provided you previously
defragment the Windows partition. Backing up your data won't hurt either..
This solution is recommended if you want to use both Mandrake Linux 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 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 you confirm;

   !! 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. To know how do use the DiskDrake utility used
here, refer to the section ``Managing Your Partitions'' of the ````User
Guide''''"),

exitInstall => 
__("There you are. Installation is now complete and your GNU/Linux system is
ready to use. Just click \"OK\" to reboot the system. You can start
GNU/Linux or Windows, whichever you prefer (if you are dual-booting), as
soon as the computer has booted up again.

The \"Advanced\" button (in Expert mode only) shows two more buttons to:

 * \"generate auto-install floppy\": to create an installation floppy disk
which will automatically perform a whole installation without the help of
an operator, similar to the installation you just configured.

   Note that two different options are available after clicking the button:

    * \"Replay\". This is a partially automated installation as the
partitioning step (and only this one) remains interactive;

    * \"Automated\". Fully automated installation: the hard disk is
completely rewritten, all data is lost.

   This feature is very handy when installing a great number of similar
machines. See the Auto install section on our web site;

 * \"Save packages selection\"(*): saves the package selection as done

installation of your Mandrake Linux system. If partitions have already been
defined, either from a previous installation of GNU/Linux or from another
partitioning tool, you can use existing partitions. Otherwise, hard drive
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 enables to automatically create ext3 and
swap partitions in free space of your hard drive;

\"More\": gives access to additional features:

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

 * \"Restore partition table\": allows to restore a previously saved
partition table from floppy disk;

 * \"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;

 * \"Reload partition table\": discards all changes and loads your initial
partition table;

 * \"Removable media automounting\": unchecking this option will force
users to manually mount and unmount removable medias such as floppies and
CD-ROMs.

 * \"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;

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

 * \"Toggle to normal/expert mode\": allows additional actions on
partitions (type, options, format) and gives more information;

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

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.

To get information about the different filesystem types available, please
read the ext2FS chapter from the ``Reference Manual''.

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
bootloader. 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."),

resizeFATChoose => 
__("More than one Microsoft partition has been detected on your hard drive.
Please choose the one you want to resize in order to install your new

Each partition is listed as follows: \"Linux name\", \"Windows name\"
\"Capacity\".

\"Linux name\" is structured: \"hard drive type\", \"hard drive number\",
\"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
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.

what is currently installed on your machine, you may be able to keep some
old partitions (Linux or otherwise) unchanged;

 * \"Upgrade\": this installation class allows to simply update the
packages currently installed on your Mandrake Linux system. It keeps the
current partitions of your hard drives as well as user configurations. All
other configuration steps remain available, similar to a normal
installation;

 * \"Upgrade Packages Only\": this new installation class allows you to
upgrade an existing Mandrake Linux system while keeping all system
configurations unchanged. Adding new packages to the current installation
is also possible.

Upgrades should work fine on Mandrake Linux systems containing version
\"8.1\" or later.

Depending on your knowledge of GNU/Linux, select one of the following
choices:

 * Recommended: choose this if you have never installed a GNU/Linux
operating system. The installation will be very easy and you will only be
asked a few questions;

 * Expert: if you have a good understanding of GNU/Linux, you may wish to
perform a highly customized installation. Some of the decisions you will

administrator and is the only one authorized to make updates, add users,
change the overall system configuration, and so on. In short, \"root\" can
do everything! That is why you must choose a password that is difficult to
guess - DrakX will tell you if it is too easy. As you can see, you can
choose not to enter a password, but we strongly advise you against this if
only for one reason: do not think that because you booted GNU/Linux that
your other operating systems are safe from mistakes. Since \"root\" can
overcome all limitations and unintentionally erase all data on partitions
by carelessly accessing the partitions themselves, it is important for it
to be difficult to become \"root\".

The password should be a mixture of alphanumeric characters and at least 8
characters long. Never write down the \"root\" password - it makes it too
easy to compromise a system.

However, please do not make the password too long or complicated because
you must be able to remember it without too much effort.

The password will not be displayed on screen as you type it in. Hence, you
will have to type the password twice to reduce the chance of a typing
error. If you do happen to make the same typing error twice, this
``incorrect'' password will have to be used the first time you connect.
