Starting up the Linux Operating System
The first time the workstation is booted, the Red Hat First Boot utility displays. This program allows you to
enter your password, network, graphics, time, and keyboard settings for your workstation.
CAUTION:
Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION UNTIL
THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the workstation during the installation process may damage the
software that runs the workstation or prevent its proper installation.
NOTE:
When you enable the YPBind feature in the Network tab of the Linux Setup Tool, you may get a
blank screen for about 15-30 seconds after you have selected and saved all of your settings and have
exited the utility. This is normal. The boot process continues its execution after the screen returns.
