How-to Dual Boot Windows XP and Fedora or Red Hat Linux
Post Configuration
On the first boot, you'll come across the Fedora post install configuration/setup. Just a few little things here to take care of.
First, we have to accept the License Agreement.
Next we'll select the system time and date, or tell Fedora to use Network Time Protocol.
Then we'll add a user, this will be who you will want to log in as when not doing admin functions. Logging in as root all the time is not recommended!
Next you'll get to play a test sound to make sure the sound card was set up correctly. If you use digital output, you'll probably not hear anything, and will need to install updated drivers, or do some configuration to the sound settings later.
If any additional CDs were needed, you have the option of installing software from it here.
That's it, post configuration is done. Click next to exit this section.
And you should now see a login box. Enter your user name, and hit enter, enter your password, and hit enter, and you'll be logged in (assuming the user name and password are correct).
Fedora will start up, well, actually the Gnome desktop will start up, and you'll see some icons in the progress bar as various components of the Operating system is started.
Congratulations, you should now be looking at the Gnome desktop.
Play around. You've just entered a whole new world.
