<p>As the installer continues, you'll be prompted to enter several pieces of information.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hard disk layout. It is recommended to select "Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout." and move to the next screen. This will erase all data on the system.</li>
<li>Timezone settings. Select the location that is nearest to you and move to the next screen.</li>
<li>Root password. The root user is the administrative user on Linux systems. Most system configuration requires root access. If this password is lost, it is difficult to recover. It is recommended that your password contain a mix of lowercase and UPPERCASE letters, numbers, and/or symbols.</li>
</ul>
<p>After the final option, installation will begin. This will take approximately 15-30 minutes. Once installation has completed, the system will reboot into your AsteriskNOW installation.</p>
<p>By default, AsteriskNOW will use DHCP to obtain an IP address on your network. You can use the ifconfig command under Linux to view your current IP address, or system-config-network to change your network settings.</p>
