bad blocks. Note that the formatting process does not happen immediately.
3.7 Selecting components (p. 61 of guide)
We chose components, rather than individual packages. In addition to
the default components, we included the following:
1. DOS/Windows Connectivity
2. Graphics Manipulation
3. TeX Document Formatting
4. EMACS
5. EMACS with X Windows
6. C Development
7. Development Libraries
8. C++ Development
9. X Development
10. Extra Documentation
KDE was not included since GNOME was included; the "Red Hat Linux 6.0 Getting Start
Guide" described GNOME, not KDE. "GNOME Development" was not included, since it was
believed that the users would not need it.
3.8 Package Installation (p. 64 of guide)
Formatting the drives and checking for bad blocks took 39 minutes. Installing the 350
packages (478 Mbytes) took 4 minutes.
3.9 Configuring the Mouse (p. 91 of guide)
We selected "Generic Mouse (PS/2)" and "Emulate 3 Buttons".

We selected "Static IP Address", and input the previously mentioned network information
(see section 1. above).
3.11 Configuring the Time Zone (p. 95 of guide)
We left "Hardware clock set to GMT" unchecked and selected the "Canada/Atlantic" time
zone.
3.12 Selecting Services for Start on Reboot (pp. 95-96)
Based on the recommendation in the October 1999 issue of "The Computer Paper" (page 89),
we unchecked apmd and nfs, and left the rest as is. apmd is for automatic battery power
