Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Linux

Figure 3 33. X Customization

Tip

To change your X configuration after you have completed the installation, use the X Configuration

Tool.

Type the redhat config xfree86 command in a shell prompt to launch the X Configuration Tool.

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

3.33. Installation Complete

Congratulations! Your Red Hat Linux 8.0 installation is now complete!

The installation program will prompt you to prepare your system for reboot. Remember to remove any

installation media (diskette in the diskette drive or CD in the CD ROM drive) if they are not ejected

automatically upon reboot.

If you do not have a boot loader installed and configured, you will need to use the boot disk you

created during the installation now.

After your computer's normal power up sequence has completed, you should see the graphical boot

loader prompt, at which you can do any of the following things:

Press [Enter]   causes the default boot entry to be booted.

Select a boot label, followed by [Enter]   causes the boot loader to boot the operating system

corresponding to the boot label. (Press [?] or [Tab] at LILO's text mode boot loader prompt for a

list of valid boot labels.)

Do nothing   after the boot loader's timeout period, (by default, five seconds) the boot loader will

automatically boot the default boot entry.

Do whatever is appropriate to boot Red Hat Linux. You should see one or more screens of messages

scroll by. Eventually, you should see a

login:

prompt or a GUI login screen (if you installed the X

Window System and chose to start X automatically).
