empty => '',

acceptLicense => 
N_("Before continuing, you should carefully read the terms of the license. It
covers the entire Mandrake Linux distribution. If you do agree with all the
terms in it, check the \"Accept\" box. If not, simply turn off your
computer."),

addUser => 
N_("GNU/Linux is a multi-user system, meaning each user can have their own
preferences, their own files and so on. You can read the ``User Guide'' to
learn more about multi-user systems. But unlike \"root\", which is the
system administrator, the users you add at this point will not be
authorized to change anything except their own files and their own
configuration, protecting the system from unintentional or malicious
changes that impact the system as a whole. You will have to create at least
one regular user for yourself -- this is the account which you should use
for routine, day-to-day use. Although it is very easy to log in as \"root\"
to do anything and everything, it may also be very dangerous! A mistake
could mean that your system would not work any more. If you make a serious
mistake as a regular user, the worst that will happen is that you will lose
some information, but not affect the entire system.

The first field asks you for a real name. Of course, this is not mandatory
-- you can actually enter whatever you like. DrakX will use the first word
you typed in and copy it to the \"User name\" field, which is the name this
user will enter to log onto the system. If you like, you may override the
default and change the username. The next step is to enter a password. From
a security point of view, a non-privileged (regular) user password is not
as crucial as the \"root\" password, but that is no reason to neglect it by
making it blank or too simple: after all, your files could be the ones at
risk.

Once you click on \"Accept user\", you can add other users. Add a user for
each one of your friends: your father or your sister, for example. Click
\"Next ->\" when you have finished adding users.

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 asked to choose a user
that 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 \"Next
->\". If you are not interested in this feature, uncheck the \"Do you want
to use this feature?\" box."),

ask_mntpoint_s => 
N_("Here are Listed the existing Linux partitions detected on your hard drive.
You can keep the choices made by the wizard, since 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."),

chooseCd => 
N_("The Mandrake Linux installation is distributed on several CD-ROMs. DrakX
knows if a selected package is located on another CD-ROM so it will eject
the current CD and ask you to insert the correct CD as required."),

choosePackages => 
N_("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
to make it simpler to manage the packages have been placed into groups of
similar applications.

Packages are sorted into groups corresponding to a particular use of your
machine. Mandrake Linux has four predefined installations available. You
can think of these installation classes as containers for various packages.
You can mix and match applications from the various containers, so a
``Workstation'' installation can still have applications from the
``Development'' container installed.

 * \"Workstation\": if you plan to use your machine as a workstation,
select one or more of the applications that are in the workstation
container.

 * \"Development\": if plan on using your machine for programming, choose
the appropriate packages from the container.

 * \"Server\": if your machine is intended to be a server, select which of
the more common services you wish to install on your 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 interface available.

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 (as opposed to an upgrade), a dialog will pop up proposing
different options for a minimal installation:

 * \"With X\": install the minimum number of 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 absolute minimum number of
packages necessary to get a working Linux system. With this installation
you will only have a command line interface. The total size of this
installation is 65 megabytes.

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 => 
N_("If you told the installer that you wanted to individually select packages,
it will present 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 to let you know the purpose of the package.

!! If a server package has been selected, either because you specifically
chose the individual package or because it was part of a group of packages,
you will be asked to confirm that you really want those servers to be
installed. By default Mandrake Linux will automatically start any installed
services at boot time. Even if they are safe and have no known issues at
the time the distribution was shipped, it is entirely possible that 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 during boot. !!

The \"Automatic dependencies\" option is used to disable the warning dialog
which appears whenever the installer automatically selects a package to
resolve a dependency issue. Some packages have relationships between each
other such that installation of a package requires that some other program
is already installed. The installer can determine which packages are
required to satisfy a dependency to successfully complete the installation.

The tiny floppy disk icon at the bottom of the list allows you to load a
package list created during a previous installation. This is useful if you

at the prompt. If your computer cannot boot from the CD-ROM, there are at
least two situations where having a boot floppy is critical:

 * 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 on
your system). If at some point you need to reinstall Windows, the Microsoft

fair number of system tools for restoring a system that has crashed due to
a power failure, an unfortunate typing error, a forgotten root password, or
any other reason.

If you say \"Yes\", you will be asked to insert a disk in the drive. The
floppy disk must be blank or have non-critical data on it - DrakX will
format the floppy and will rewrite the whole disk."),

doPartitionDisks => 
N_("At this point, you need to decide 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
have to partition the drive. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists
of logically dividing it to create the space needed to install your new
Mandrake Linux system.

Because the process of partitioning a hard drive is usually irreversible
and can lead to lost data if there is an existing operating system already
installed on the drive, partitioning can be intimidating and stressful if
you are an inexperienced user. Fortunately, DrakX includes a wizard which
simplifies this process. Before continuing with this step, read through the
rest of this section and above all, take your time.

Depending on your hard drive configuration, several options are available:

 * \"Use free space\": this option will perform an automatic partitioning
of your blank drive(s). If you use this option there will be no further
prompts.

 * \"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 with
each of the partitions. The legacy mount points are selected by default,
and for the most part it's a good idea to 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'' solution)
or resize your Microsoft Windows FAT partition. Resizing can be performed
without the loss of any data, provided you previously defragment the
Windows partition and that it uses the FAT format. Backing up your data is
strongly recommended.. Using this option 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
then when you started. 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, because you will not be able to
undo your choice after you confirm.

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

 * \"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. !!

 * \"Custom disk partitionning\": choose this option if you want to
manually partition your hard drive. Be careful -- it is a powerful but
dangerous choice and you can very easily lose all your data. That's why
this option is really only recommended if you have done something like this
before and have some experience. For more instructions on how to use the

\"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 that you perform this step.

 * \"Restore partition table\": allows you to restore a previously saved
partition table from a 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
doesn't always work.

 * \"Reload partition table\": discards all changes and reloads the
partition table that was originally on the hard drive.

 * \"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
understanding 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 about the
hard drive.

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

When defining the size of a partition, you can finely set the partition
size by using the Arrow keys of your keyboard.

Note: you can reach any option using the keyboard. Navigate through the
partitions using [Tab] and the [Up/Down] arrows.

need to allocate a large ramdisk, this option can be used to specify a
ramdisk larger than the default.

 * Read-write: normally the \"root\" partition is initially mounted as
read-only, to allow a file system check before the system becomes ``live''.
You can override the default with this option.

 * NoVideo: should the Apple video hardware prove to be exceptionally
problematic, you can select this option to boot in ``novideo'' mode, with
native frame buffer support.

 * Default: selects this entry as being the default Linux selection,
selectable by pressing ENTER at the yaboot prompt. This entry will also be
highlighted with a ``*'' if you press [Tab] to see the boot selections."),

N_("Yaboot is a bootloader for NewWorld Macintosh hardware and can be used to
boot GNU/Linux, MacOS or MacOSX. Normally, MacOS and MacOSX are correctly
detected and installed in the bootloader menu. If this is not the case, you
can add an entry by hand in this screen. Be careful to choose the correct
parameters.

Yaboot's main options are:

 * Init Message: a simple text message displayed before the boot prompt.

 * Boot Device: indicates where you want to place the information required
to boot to GNU/Linux. Generally, you set up a bootstrap partition earlier
to hold this information.

 * Open Firmware Delay: unlike LILO, there are two delays available with
yaboot. The first delay is measured in seconds and at this point, you can
choose between CD, OF boot, MacOS or Linux;

 * Kernel Boot Timeout: this timeout is similar to the LILO boot delay.
After selecting Linux, you will have this delay in 0.1 second before your
default kernel description is selected;

 * Enable CD Boot?: checking this option allows you to choose ``C'' for CD
at the first boot prompt.

 * Enable OF Boot?: checking this option allows you to choose ``N'' for
Open Firmware at the first boot prompt.

 * Default OS: you can select which OS will boot by default when the Open
Firmware Delay expires."),

configure the clock for the correct timezone.
