Section 1.1:Do You Have the Right Red Hat Linux Components? 13

1 Steps to Get You Started

Before you install Red Hat Linux, you will need to perform the following steps:

1.1 Do You Have the Right Red Hat Linux

Components?

If you have purchased the Official Red Hat Linux boxed set, you are ready to go. However, mistakes

occasionally happen, so now is a good time to double-check the contents of your boxed set.

A black, red, and white Registration Information card is included in your boxed set. A list of the

contents of your boxed set version is on the back of the card. Please read over the list and check to

make sure that you have all the CDs and manuals that are included with the version of Red Hat Linux

that you purchased.

If you have purchased the Official Red Hat Linux boxed set from Red Hat, Inc. (or one of its distrib-

utors), and you are missing one or more of the items listed, please let us know. Contact information

is also available on the Registration Information card.

How to identify our official boxed set: The bottom of our box has an ISBN number next to one of the

bar codes. That ISBN number should be in this form:

1-58569-

(The x and y will be unique numbers.)

Red Hat partners with companies (international and domestic) so that we can make Red Hat Linux

available to you in the most convenient form. Because of these partnerships, you might find that your

Red Hat Linux boxed set may not have been actually produced by Red Hat.

If your box has a different ISBN number (or none at all), you will need to contact the company that

produced your boxed set. Normally, third-party producers will include their logo and/or contact infor-

mation on the outside of the box; an official Red Hat Linux boxed set lists only our name and contact

information.

1.1.1 Where to Find Other Red Hat Linux Manuals

If your particular boxed set did not include all of the printed Red Hat Linux manuals, you can find

them online or on the Red Hat Linux Documentation CD.

To find the manuals in both HTML and PDF formats online, go to http://www.redhat.com/docs.
