Which version of Redhat should be installed?
32 bit OS
64 bit OS

Note that the 64 bit version of Redhat provides better performance but requires that all your applications be 64 bit compatible.

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.

Time Zone
Eastern
Central
Mountain w/ daylight savings
Mountain w/o daylight savings

If disks are in a RAID array
RAID-1 (mirror protection)
RAID-10 (mirror protection + striping for performance if 4 or more drives, a.k.a. RAID 0+1)
RAID-5 (data protection at lower cost but lower performance than RAID-1 or 0+1)
N/A (I'm sure there is no RAID to be setup)
Setup one drive as a HotSpare StandBy drive

Note: lower end SAS/SATA raid often has no audible alarm if a drive fails.

Disk Drive 0 (or Array 0 if raid) (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%)
Note: A RAID subsystem will usually be setup as one large array 0. If so, leave the following drive questions blank.

drive 1 (or Array 1 if raid) (if present)

drive 2 (or Array 2 if raid) (if present)

drive 3 (or Array 3 if raid) (if present)

drive 4 (or Array 4 if raid) (if present)

first NIC card (ethernet) or leave the default DTR test values: 10.1.1.200 255.0.0.0
IP address
Network mask
Default gateway or leave blank to set this later

second NIC card (if any) or leave the default DTR test values: 192.168.20.100 255.255.255.0
IP address (cannot be in same subnet as first NIC)
Network mask

Firewall
High
Medium
No firewall (DTR default)

COM1 serial port, I usually prefer
test only but leave unconfigured

COM2 serial port is not available on many systems. If available, I usually prefer
test only but leave unconfigured
modem, if ordered

UniBasic Passport device, if ordered

root password (should not be a dictionary word or name)
GRUB password (should not be a dictionary word or name)
