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!
