Installation-Related New Features

This section describes installation features new to Red Hat Linux 7.0.

Improvements to Red Hat Linux 7.0 which will make installation even easier include:

New multi-CD installation process

As the number and size of the packages included in Red Hat Linux continues to grow, Red Hat has developed an installation program capable of installing Red Hat Linux from multiple CD-ROMs.

X configuration

Configuration of your X Window System during the installation has never been more thorough. From choosing your monitor and its correct settings, to video card probing, to testing your desired X setup, the installation program will help you set everything just right.

Help text available during text mode installation

Help text has been added to the text mode installation program to further assist you during your installation of Red Hat Linux 7.0. Press the F1 key to enable help text for that specific screen. Press Enter to close the help text screen.

LDAP and Kerberos configuration

Network security has been enhanced with the addition of LDAP and Kerberos to Red Hat Linux 7.0. For more information on these programs, refer to the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide.
