Summary of miscellaneous + parameters

DrakX made smart choices for the + configuration of your system depending on the choices you made and on the + hardware DrakX detected. You can check the settings here and change them if + you want after pressing Configure.

System parameters

Timezone
DrakX selected a + time zone for you, depending on your preferred language. You can + change it if needed. See also the section called “Configure your + Timezone”
Country / + Region
If you are not in + the selected country, it is very important that you correct the + setting. See the section called “Select your Country / + Region”
Bootloader
DrakX has made + good choices for the bootloader setting.
Do not change + anything, unless you know how to configure Grub and/or Lilo
For more + information, see the section called “Bootloader main options”
User + management
You can add extra + users here. They will each get their own /home + directories.
Services:
System services + refer to those small programs which run the background (daemons). This + tool allows you to enable or disable certain tasks.
You should check + carefully before changing anything here - a mistake may prevent your + computer from operating correctly.
For more information, see the section called “Configure your + Services”

Hardware parameters

Keyboard:
This is where + you setup or change your keyboard layout which will depend on your + location, language or type of keyboard.
Mouse:
Here you can add + or configure other pointing devices, tablets, trackballs etc.
Sound + card:
The installer uses + the default driver, if there is a default one. The option to select a + different driver is only given when there is more than one driver for + your card, but none of them is the default one.
Graphical + interface:
This section + allows you to configure your graphic card(s) and displays.
For more + information, see the section called “Graphic Card and Monitor + Configuration”.

Network and Internet + parameters

Network:
You can configure + your network here, but for network cards with non-free drivers it is + better to do that after reboot, in the Mageia Control + Center, if you have not yet enabled the Nonfree media + repositories.
Warning
When you add a + network card, do not forget to set your firewall to watch that + interface as well.
Proxies:
A Proxy Server + acts as an intermediary between your computer and the wider internet. + This section allows you to configure your computer to utilize a proxy + service.
You may need to + consult your systems administrator to get the parameters you need to + enter here

Security

Security + Level:
Here you set the + Security level for your computer, in most cases the default setting + (Standard) is adequate for general use.
Check the option + which best suits your usage.
Firewall:
A firewall is + intended to be a barrier between your important data and the rascals + out there on the internet who would compromise or steal it.
Select the + services that you wish to have access to your system. Your selections + will depend on what you use your computer for.
Warning
Bear in mind + that allowing everything (no firewall) may be very risky.
