Congratulations! Your Red Hat Linux 6.1 installation is now complete!
The installation program will prompt you to prepare your system for reboot. Don't forget to remove any diskette in the floppy drive or CD in the CD-ROM drive. If you decided to skip installing LILO, you'll need to use your boot disk now.
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:
Press Enter -- Causes LILO's default boot entry to be booted.
Enter a Boot Label, followed by Enter -- Causes LILO to boot the operating system corresponding to the entered boot label.
Do 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 of messages scroll by. Eventually, you should see a login: prompt or a GUI login screen (if you installed the X Window System and chose to start X automatically).
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 Red Hat Linux. The Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide covers topics relating to the basics of your system and includes the updated GNOME User's Guide. If you are a more experienced user, you may find the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide to be more helpful.
