__("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 this concept. 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 configurations. 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 the people meant to use that computer. When you are
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).
When you are finished adding all users, you will be proposed to choose a
user which can automatically log into the system when the computer boots
up. If you are interested in that feature (and do not care much about local
security), choose the desired user and window manager, then click \"Yes\".
If you are not interested in this feature, click \"No\"."),

__("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 \"/home\" partition
(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."),

__("The Mandrake Linux installation is spread out over several CD-ROMs. DrakX
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 fewest 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 to repair or
update 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 installation time 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 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 the previous step on how to
create such a floppy disk."),

__("You are now able to set up your Internet/network connection. If you wish to
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 ``Starter 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 =>
__("You may now choose which services you wish to start at boot time.
Here are listed 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.

configureTimezoneGMT =>

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 =>

WindowMaker, etc.) bundled with Mandrake Linux rely.
You will be presented the list of available resolutions and color depth
available for your hardware. Choose the one that best suit your needs (you
will be able to change that after installation though). When you are
satisfied with the sample shown in the monitor, click \"OK\". 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."),
