kmdconfig - Introduction

kdmconfig has attempted to identify the devices necessary for
the window system.  If the configuration is incorrect or
incomplete you will not be able to use the window system.

Press F2 to view and edit the current configuration.

Press F4 to bypass viewing and editing.  If you chose this
option, you can subsequentry review and edit the window system
configuration by rebooting the system or running kdmconfig
from the command line.

Note: If you are installng Solaris you do not have to configure
the window system at this time.  Choosing this option will cause
the installation to run in non-window-system mode.

Press F6 or <ESC>-6 for Help.  The Help Information covers
kdmconfig screens as well as screen navigation and how to
substitute Escape key sequences for function keys.

On this screen you can create a root password.

A root password can contain any number of characters, but only the first eight
characters in the password are significant. (For example, if you create
'a1b2c3d4e5f6' as your root password, you can use 'a1b2c3d4' to gain root
access.)

You will be prompted to type the root password twice; for security, the password
will not be displayed on the screen as you type it.

> If you do not want a root password, press RETURN twice.
