ip_address

Internet protocol address. If networking is installed,

this is an address with four numeric components,

each of which is separated by a period with each

number between 0 and 256. An example of an IP

address is: 255.32.3.10. If you do not have networking

installed, you will not be prompted for the IP address.

timezone

The time zone where your system is located.

addl_netwrk

Additional network parameters. These allow you to

conﬁgure additional network parameters, such as the

subnetwork mask, network gateway, network

gateway IP address, local domain name, Domain

Name System (DNS) server host name, DNS server

IP address and Network Information Service domain

name.

font_c-s

Network font service. This allows you to conﬁgure

your workstation to be a font client or server. As a

font client, your workstation uses the font ﬁles on a

network server rather than using the fonts on its own

hard disk, thus saving disk space. System RAM usage

is reduced for font clients, but increased for font

servers.
