5.10 Finishing Up...

After you have completed LILO installation, the installation program will prompt you to prepare your system for reboot (see Figure 51). Don't forget to remove any diskette that might be in the diskette drive (Unless you decided to skip the standard LILO installation, in which case you'll need to use the boot diskette created during the installation).

After your computer's normal power-up sequence has completed, you should see LILO's standard prompt, which is boot:. At the boot: prompt, you can do any of the following things:

• Pressing [Enter] -- Causes LILO's default boot entry (as defined by the dialog box shown in Figure 50) to be booted.

• Entering a Boot Label, followed by [Enter] -- Causes LILO to boot the operating system corresponding to the entered boot label.

• Doing Nothing -- After LILO's timeout period, (which, by default, is five seconds) Lilo will automatically boot the default boot entry.

Do whatever is appropriate to boot Red Hat Linux. You should see one or more screens worth of messages scroll by. Eventually, you should see a login: prompt.

Congratulations! Your Red Hat Linux installation is complete! If you're not sure what to do next, turn to Chapter 6.
