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 plan 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
