After you have configured the X Windows System, the installation program
will prompt you to prepare your system for reboot (see Figure
79). Don't forget to remove any diskette that might
be in the diskette drive, or CD that might be in the CD-ROM drive if your
system is able to boot from the CD-ROM (unless you decided to skip the
standard LILO installation, in which case you'll need to use the boot diskette
created during the installation).
Figure 79: Ready for Reboot
After your computer's normal power-up sequence has completed, you should
see LILO's standard prompt, which is boot:. At the boot:
prompt, you can do any of the following things:
- Pressing [Enter] -- Causes LILO's default boot entry (as
defined by the dialog box shown in Figure 78) to be
booted.
- Entering a Boot Label, followed by [Enter] -- Causes LILO
to boot the operating system corresponding to the entered boot label.
- Doing Nothing -- After LILO's timeout period, (which, by
default, is five seconds) LILO will automatically boot the default boot
entry.
Do whatever is appropriate to boot Red Hat Linux. You should see one or more
screens worth of messages scroll by. Eventually, you should see a
login: prompt.
Congratulations! Your Red Hat Linux installation is complete!
If you're not sure what to do next, we suggest you begin with the Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide
as an introduction to using Linux. The Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide covers topics such as
``learning the basics of your system'' to ``navigating your system'' and
much more.
