Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 33
If you are installing GRUB as your boot loader, you should create a password to protect your sys-
tem. Otherwise, users may be able to pass options to the kernel which can compromise your system
security.
Figure 3-10. GRUB Password
If you choose to use a GRUB password to enhance your system security, be sure to select the checkbox
labeled
Use a GRUB Password
.
Once selected, enter a password and confirm it.
3.16. Network Configuration
If you do not have a network device, you will not see this screen. Skip ahead to Section 3.17.
If you have a network device and you have not already configured your networking (such as booting
from a network boot disk you created and entering in your network information as prompted), you
now have the opportunity (as shown in Figure 3-11) to do so.
If you have multiple devices, you will see a tab for each device. You may switch between devices (for
example, between eth0 and eth1) and the information you provide on each tab will be specific to each
device.
Indicate if you would like to configure your IP address using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). If you select Activate on boot , your network interface will be started when you boot. If you
do not have DHCP client access or you are unsure what to provide here, please contact your network
administrator.
Next enter, where applicable, the
IP Address
,
Netmask
,
Network
, and
Broadcast
addresses. If you
are unsure about any of these, please contact your network administrator.
If you have a fully qualified domain name for the network device, enter it in the
Hostname
field.
