More installation options. As partitions are formatted, especially if there was
already an existing installation on the current hard drive, once you pass this
point here and say yes, you wouldn't be able to go back once you say yes and the
changes are written to the hard drives. At that point, the installation proceeds
and can take a few minutes or more depending on the speed of you CD drive or
perhaps the speed of your network. While you're waiting, this is an excellent
opportunity to check out the other consoles of the installation process.
Specifically, press ALT F2 or ALT F3 to access Command Line consoles. ALT F4
accesses a log of installation messages which is updated as installation proceeds.
If you explore the Command Line console, be aware, the Ubuntu installation is
written during the installation process to the target directory, literally, as
you can see from the output to the LS target command. Once the basic
installation process is complete, you're prompted to set and configure a regular
user account. After that point, you'll configure AFT for network access for
other packages. Configuring AFT requires configuring a proxy server. If you
don't have a proxy server regulating access from your network to the Internet,
just leave this option blank. Once configured, AFT loads information from the
Ubuntu repository or repositories associated with the country selected at the
beginning of the installation process. In my case, I selected US which means
that installation packages are located and loaded from the US.archive.ubuntu.com
server. If the connection is successful, installation proceeds normally and the
time it takes depends on the speed of your system and more importantly in the
speed of the network connection to Ubuntu country mirror. Once the package
installation process is complete, you'll see the final following steps. The
system clock on Most Ubuntu Linux systems should be set to UTC, which
essentially means Greenwich Mean Time. It assumes your hardware clock is set to
Greenwich Mean Time and that's an excellent option, especially if you're
configuring a group of Ubuntu servers in different locations so you can keep
their systems in sync. But that won't work if the system you're installing is in
a dual-boot configuration with an operating system like Microsoft Windows, as
Windows can't handle UTC. Once you make your selection here, installation is
complete once you enter Continue, the system reboots and then starts your Ubuntu
Linux system. Thank you, and in the next video, we'll look at the unique bits
associated with the Ubuntu server installation program.
