Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Linux

69

If you do not wish to install packages that require other packages, select Do not install packages that

have dependencies.

To install only the packages you have selected and leave the dependencies unresolved, select Ignore

package dependencies.

Tip

To install or remove packages after you have completed the installation, use the Package Manage 

ment Tool.

Type the redhat config packages command in a shell prompt to launch the Package Management

Tool. If you are not root, it will prompt you for the root password to continue.

3.28. Preparing to Install

You should now see a screen preparing you for the installation of Red Hat Linux.

For your reference, a complete log of your installation can be found in

/root/install.log

once

you reboot your system.

Warning

If, for some reason, you would rather not continue with the installation process, this is your last

opportunity to safely cancel the process and reboot your machine. Once you press the Next button,

partitions will be written and packages will be installed. If you wish to abort the installation, you should

reboot now before any existing information on any hard drive is rewritten.

To cancel this installation process, press your computer's Reset button or use the [Control] [Alt] 

[Delete] key combination to restart your machine.

3.29. Installing Packages

At this point there is nothing left for you to do until all the packages have been installed (see Figure

3 29). How quickly this happens depends on the number of packages you have selected and your

computer's speed.
