6 If prompted, initialize the system disk. The test of the installation is automatic.
7 When the installation has completed, eject the disc and reboot the system. After the system reboots, you may be
prompted by the Kudzu hardware setup utility to set up new hardware detected for your system. You can ignore
these prompts and allow the utility's count-down to expire since the hardware for the system is unchanged.
8 Boot into your new Linux installation and change the root password: Login as root, with the default password
password. In a terminal use the passwd command to change the password.

You'll need the following from your network administrator:
■ A unique static IP address and host name for your system
■ The network gateway IP address.
■ The subnet mask of your network.
■ DNS server IP address(es).
/etc/sysconfig/network
Sample snippet from /etc/sysconfig/network.
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=workstation1
GATEWAY="10.1.0.25"
The GATEWAY value is used if no GATEWAY is defined in a network port’s configuration file.
/etc/resolv.conf
Sample snippet from /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.9.201.1
/etc/hosts
You may need to edit the loopback setting which may look like 127.0.0.1 vxfhost.localhost.localdomain
localhost by default. Optionally add hostname / IP address pairs for other workstations on your network.
Sample snippet from file:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.100 workstation1
