appears at which you can do any of the following things:
a) Press [Enter] — causes the default boot entry to be booted.
b) Select a boot label, followed by [Enter] — causes the boot loader to boot the operating
system corresponding to the boot label.
c) Do nothing — after the boot loader’s timeout period, (by default, five seconds) the boot
loader automatically boots the default boot entry.
4) Do whatever is appropriate to boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux. One or more screens of messages
should scroll by. Eventually, a login: prompt or a GUI login screen (if you installed the X Window
System and chose to start X automatically) appears.
5) The first time you start your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system in run level 5 (the graphical run level),
the Setup Agent is presented, which guides you through the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
configuration. Using this tool, you can set your system time and date, install software, register your
machine with Red Hat Network, and more. The Setup Agent lets you configure your environment at
the beginning, so that you can get started using your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system quickly.
6) For more information on using the Setup Agent, refer to the chapter titled Getting Started in the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Step By Step Guide.
