Installing Slackware Linux Part 4 - Finishing Up

After the network configuration, you will be prompted to configure your startup services.



Many of these are network server daemons, and if you are just using your computer as a workstation, you will want to leave most all of them disabled. You may want things like the CUPS print server.

Next, you will be prompted to configure your clock and timezone.





Next, you will be prompted to choose a default window manager, for when you start XFree86.



If you are new to Linux, select KDE for now, you can try some of the others later.

Now you're prompted to enter a root password.



Say Yes. You'll be prompted to type a root password twice, for confirmation.

Slackware setup is now complete. You will be prompted to exit setup and press ctrl-alt-del to reboot your machine.



After exiting, the CDROM tray will open, so you can remove the CD. You'll be back at the root prompt after that. Press ctrl-alt-del to restart the system, and boot Slackware for the first time!
