Red Hat Linux 7.3: The Official Red Hat Linux x86 Installation Guide
PrevChapter 3. Installing Red Hat LinuxNext

Installation Complete

Congratulations! Your Red Hat Linux 7.3 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. (Press [?] or [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 graphical login screen (if you installed the X Window System and chose to boot into graphical mode by default).
