Installation Complete

Congratulations! Your Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 installation is now complete!

The installation program will prompt you to prepare your system for reboot. Do not forget to remove any diskette in the diskette drive or CD in the CD-ROM drive. If you did not install a boot loader, you will need to use your boot disk 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 [?] at the 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. If your system was not able to boot properly using GRUB or LILO, or a third-party boot loader, a boot disk would enable you to properly boot your Red Hat Linux system. 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 Getting Started Guide (available online at http://www.redhat.com/docs if not included as part of your product), which covers topics relating to the basics of your system and is an introduction to using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS. If you are a more experienced user looking for information on administration topics, you may find the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide to be more helpful. If you are looking for information on system configuration, you may find the Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide to be helpful.
