Replace server with a name of your choice and example.com with your registered domain name. If this computer will be a server on a domain, enter the domain name in the domain field. If you have not registered a domain name yet or want to set this up later, just leave the domain name field blank and continue (See "Configuring a Static IP" to configure later).

When asked if you would like to enable Linux binary compatibility, choose no and press [enter].

You are asked if you have a mouse. Since this install is from the command line, choose no and press [enter].

The next dialog asks if you want to add a user account. Choose yes and press [enter]. Select user from the menu and press [enter]. The cursor should now be at the login ID field in the following screen. Enter a username of your choice (this will be the account you will use to manage the system), then press [tab] until the cursor is at the password field and enter a password for this account (a strong one, preferably a combination of numbers and letters, avoiding guessable words), then press [tab] until the cursor is at the full name field and type in your full name. Now tab again to the field labeled member groups and enter the word wheel to allow the user to become root/administrator with the su command (See "su" for details). Tab to OK and press [enter].

You are returned to the User/Group Management menu. Select exit and press [enter]. A notification will come up telling you to set the system manager's (i.e., root) password. Press [enter] and enter a password of your choice. (Use a strong one, preferably a combination of numbers and letters, avoiding guessable words.) Retype your password for verification.
