Enter your company name

Enter the desired system name (max 8 characters, no punctuation)
Enter the desired DNS domain name
Type something to identify which system or site this info applies to (eg end-user company name, address, and/or server function)

Mouse and GUI settings
Mouse and GUI enabled (DTR default)
Connect mouse but disable GUI
No mouse and No GUI ever

If we integrate the system with a mouse and you remove the mouse later, the system bios may get confused, reassign IRQ's and refuse to boot. To prevent such problems, we recommend that you always connect the mouse and just disable the GUI, if desired, so it can be re-enabled later. For example, if you have an Adaptec 3200 RAID controller, the GUI Storage Manager utility provides information and options not available elsewhere.

If disks are in a RAID array
RAID-1 (mirror protection)
RAID-0+1 (mirror protection + striping for performance if 4 or more drives)
RAID-5 (data protection at lower cost but lower performance than RAID-1 or 0+1)
Channel Separation (Better RAID-1 or 0+1 reliability if 2 channel RAID controller)
Hot Spare (Additional drive ready to automatically replace a bad drive)

Disk Drive 0 (where the Operating System will be installed)

     256 MB RAM => 512 MB swap
     512 MB RAM => 1 GB swap
       1 GB RAM => 1.5 GB swap
       2 GB RAM => 2 GB swap

Name(s) of other filesystem mount point(s) on drive 0 (and size in GB or % allocation of remaining disk space), if any (e.g. /u 50%, /u2 50%)
