><P
> Choose the mouse for the system from the <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"

>
menu. If you choose <B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>No Mouse</B
>, no mouse
will be configured. If you choose <B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Probe for
Mouse</B
>, the installation program will try to autodetect
the mouse. Probing works for most modern mice.
</P
><P
> If you have a two-button button mouse, you can emulate a three-button mouse
by selecting <B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Emulate 3 Buttons</B
>. If this option
is selected, simultaneously clicking the left and right mouse buttons
will be recognized as a middle mouse button click.

> menu, choose the time zone to
use for the system. To configure the system to use UTC, select <B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Use
UTC clock</B
>.

CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Root
Password</B
> text entry box. If you want to save the password
as an encrypted password in the file, select <B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Encrypt root
password</B
>. When the file is saved, the plaintext password
that you typed will be encrypted and written to the kickstart file. Do
not type an already encrypted password and select to encrypt it.

> To install languages in addition to the one selected from the
<B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Language</B
> pulldown menu. check them in the
<B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Language Support</B
> list. The language selected from the
<B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Language</B
> pulldown menu is used by default after
installation; however, the default can be changed with the
<B
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Language Configuration Tool</B
>
(<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>system-config-language</TT
>) after installation.
</P
><P
> Choosing <B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Reboot system after installation</B
> will
reboot your system automatically after the installation is finished.
</P
><P
> Kickstart installations are performed in
graphical mode by default. To override this default and use text-mode
instead, check the <B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Perform installation in text
mode</B
> button.
</P
><P
> You can perform a kickstart installation in
interactive mode. This means that the installation program uses all
the options pre-configured in the kickstart file, but it allows you
to preview the options in each screen before you can continue to the
next screen. To continue to the next screen, click the
<B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Next</B
> button after you have approved the
settings. If you are not satisfied with the pre-configured options, you
can change them before continuing the installation. If you prefer this
type of installation, check the <B
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Perform installation in
interactive mode</B
> option.
