Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Part III
22. Configure console fonts. You can try some custom screen fonts. If you find one you particularly
like, you can choose to use it instead of the default.
23. Set the hardware clock. The clock on your computer can be set to local time or to UTC
time (or Greenwich Mean Time). Most often, you will set it to local time, especially if you
dual-boot between operating systems (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Clock-2.html
for information on how Linux keeps track of time).
24. Choose a time zone. Select your current time zone from the list.
25. Select a default window manager. Choices include the KDE and XFCE desktop environments
or any of a number of smaller simple window managers, such as Blackbox, Fluxbox,
fvwm2 (selections look like Windows systems), and TWM (too lightweight for most
people). If you installed only from the first Slackware CD, KDE is not among your choices
because it is installed from the second installation CD.
26. Set root password. Select a root password when you are prompted to do so.
At this point you can return to the Slackware Linux Setup menu.
27. Select EXIT to leave the setup screen. The install CD should eject.
28. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot your computer.
Starting with Slackware
The LILO Boot menu appears when you first boot Slackware.
