. The following notes apply to the default system
configuration.
N O T E S
1. After you upgrade or restore the Linux operating
system and
Express Builder
distributions as described
in this
chapter, you may also need to separately install
optional packages using the
rpm
command.
2. The system disk pair was created as a RAID-1
mirrored drive set on drives sda and sdd. Each drive
is bootable and configured identically to the other.
3. After installation, the kudzu, haldaemon, and
microcode_ctl services are disabled. Do
not
enable
these services.
Configuring the Network
Perform the following tasks to configure the system for operating on a network.
1. Issue the following command to launch the Linux graphical network-configuration
program:
# system-config-network
2. In the graphical network configuration tool, specify the network hostname for your
system.
See the section on adding hosts in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 System
Administration Guide for detailed information about configuring networks.
