If it finds it (or them) and knows which driver(s) to use, it will insert it (them) automatically. If your SCSI adapter is an ISA board, or is a PCI board but DrakX doesn't know which driver to use for this card, or if you have no SCSI adapters at all, you will then be prompted on whether you have one or not. If you have none, answer \"No\". If you have one or more, answer \"Yes\". A list of drivers will then pop up, from which you will have to select one. After you have selected the driver, DrakX will ask if you want to specify options for it. First, try and let the driver probe for the hardware: it usually works fine. If not, do not forget the information on your hardware that you could get from your documentation or from Windows (if you have it on your system), as suggested by the installation guide. These are the options you will need to provide to the driver."), partitionDisks => __("At this point, you may choose what partition(s) to use to install your Linux-Mandrake system if they have been already defined (from a previous install of Linux or from another partitionning tool). In other cases, hard drive partitions must be defined. This operation consists of logically dividing the computer's hard drive capacity into separate areas for use. If you have to create new partitions, use \"Auto allocate\" to automatically create partitions for Linux. You can select the disk for partitionning by clicking on \"hda\" for the first IDE drive, \"hdb\" for the second or \"sda\" for the first SCSI drive and so on. Two common partition are: the root partition (/), which is the starting point of the filesystem's directory hierarchy, and /boot, which contains all files necessary to start the operating system when the computer is first turned on. Because the effects of this process are usually irreversible, partitioning can be intimidating and stressful to the unexperienced user. DiskDrake simplifies the process so that it need not be. Consult the documentation and take your time before proceeding."), formatPartitions => __("Any partitions that have been newly defined must be formatted for use (formatting meaning creating a filesystem). At this time, you may wish to re-format some already existing partitions to erase the data they contain. Note: it is not necessary to re-format pre-existing partitions, particularly if they contain files or data you wish to keep. Typically retained are /home and /usr/local."), choosePackages => __("You may now select the packages you wish to install. First you can select group of package to install or upgrade. After that you can select more packages according to the total size you wish to select. If you are in expert mode, you can select packages individually. Please note that some packages require the installation of others. These are referred to as package dependencies.

If you agree with DrakX' settings, just jump to the section you want by clicking on it in the menu on the left.

For example, the COM1 port in MS Windows is named ttyS0 in Linux."), configureNetwork => __("This section is dedicated to configuring a local area network (LAN) or a modem. Choose \"Local LAN\" and DrakX will try to find an Ethernet adapter on your machine. PCI adapters should be found and initialized automatically. However, if your peripheral is ISA, autodetection will not work, and you will have to choose a driver from the list that will appear then. As for SCSI adapters, you can let the driver probe for the adapter in the first time, otherwise you will have to specify the options to the driver that you will have fetched from documentation of your hardware. If you install a Linux-Mandrake system on a machine which is part of an already existing network, the network administrator will have given you all necessary information (IP address, network submask or netmask for short, and hostname). If you're setting up a private network at home for example, you should choose addresses. Choose \"Dialup with modem\" and the Internet connection with a modem will be configured. DrakX will try to find your modem, if it fails you will have to select the right serial port where your modem is connected to."), configureNetworkIP => __("Enter: - IP address: if you don't know it, ask your network administrator or ISP. - Netmask: \"255.255.255.0\" is generally a good choice.

Each of these types require a different setup. If your printer is directly connected to your computer, select \"Local printer\". You will then have to tell which port your printer is connected to, and select the appropriate filter. If you want to access a printer located on a remote Unix machine, you will have to select \"Remote lpd\". In order to make it work, no username or password is required, but you will need to know the name of the printing queue on this server. If you want to access a SMB printer (which means, a printer located on a remote Windows 9x/NT machine), you will have to specify its SMB name (which is not its TCP/IP name), and possibly its IP address, plus the username, workgroup and password required in order to access the printer, and of course the name of the printer. The same goes for a NetWare printer, except that you need no workgroup information."), setRootPassword => __("You can now enter the root password for your Linux-Mandrake system. The password must be entered twice to verify that both password entries are identical. Root is the administrator of the system, and is the only user allowed to modify the system configuration. Therefore, choose this password carefully! Unauthorized use of the root account can be extremely dangerous to the integrity of the system and its data, and other systems connected to it. The password should be a mixture of alphanumeric characters and a least 8 characters long. It should *never* be written down.

You can create one or more account(s) for each person you want to allow to use the computer. Note that each user account will have its own preferences (graphical environment, program settings, etc.) and its own \"home directory\", in which these preferences are stored. First of all, create an account for yourself! Even if you will be the only user of the machine, you may NOT connect as root for daily use of the system: it's a very high security risk. Making the system unusable is very often a typo away. Therefore, you should connect to the system using the user account you will have created here, and login as root only for administration and maintenance purposes."), createBootdisk => __("It is strongly recommended that you answer \"Yes\" here.

Unless you know specifically otherwise, choose \"/dev/hda\". - Linear: Generate linear sector addresses instead of sector/head/cylinder addresses. Linear addresses are translated at run time and do not depend on disk geometry. Note that boot disks may not be portable if \"linear\" is used, because the BIOS service to determine the disk geometry does not work reliably for floppy disks. When using \"linear\" with large disks, /sbin/lilo may generate references to inaccessible disk areas, because 3D sector addresses are not known before boot time. - Compact: Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the map smaller. Using \"compact\" is especially recommended when booting from a floppy disk. - Delay before booting default image: Specifies the number in tenths of a second the boot loader should wait before booting the first image. This is useful on systems that immediately boot from the hard disk after enabling the keyboard. The boot loader doesn't wait if \"delay\" is omitted or is set to zero. - Video mode: This specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when booting. The following values are available: * normal: select normal 80x25 text mode. * <number>: use the corresponding text mode."), configureX => __("Now it's time to configure the X Window System, which is the core of the Linux GUI (Graphical User Interface). For this purpose, you must configure your video card and monitor. Most of these steps are automated, though, therefore your work may only consist of verifying what has been done and accept the settings :) When the configuration is over, X will be started (unless you ask DrakX not to) so that you can check and see if the settings suit you.

Use it only if you know how. - Choose security level: You can choose a security level for your system. Please refer to the manual for more information. - Precise RAM size if needed: In some cases, Linux is unable to correctly detect all the installed RAM on some systems. If this is the case, specify the correct quantity. Note: a difference of 2 or 4 Mb is normal. - Removable media automounting: If you would prefer not to manually mount removable drives (CD-ROM, Floppy, Zip) by typing \"mount\" and \"umount\", select this option. - Enable Num Lock at startup: If you want Number Lock enabled after booting, select this option (Note: Num Lock will still not work under X)."), exitInstall => __("Your system is going to reboot.
