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. (Type ? or press 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).

Tip

If you are not sure what to do next, we suggest you begin with the Official Red Hat Linux User’s Guide (Red Hat Press/Wiley, 2003), which covers topics relating to the basics of your system and is an introduction to using Red Hat Linux.
