Software Setup

Linux–preinstalled Workstations

If you have a Linux-preinstalled workstation, follow the instructions in this section to setup up your OS and software.

After the boot process completes, you can view additional HP Linux documentation by simply opening your Internet browser (the browser is automatically set to use the local HP documentation page as its default). You can also access Linux Web links for Red Hat (Internet access required) by using your Internet browser.

NOTE: For additional information concerning the setup of Linux–preinstalled or Linux–enabled workstations, refer to the

HP User Manual for Linux, located at

Starting up the Linux Operating System

The first time the workstation is booted, the Red Hat First Boot utility displays. This program allows you to enter your password, network, graphics, time, and keyboard settings for your workstation.

CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the workstation during the installation process may damage the software that runs the workstation or prevent its proper installation.

NOTE: When you enable the YPBind feature in the Network tab of the Linux Setup Tool, you may get a blank screen for about 15-30 seconds after you have selected and saved all of your settings and have exited the utility. This is normal. The boot process continues its execution after the screen returns.
