some basic configuration. You can continue through the setup as you prefer;

|
however, specific selections are required on the <span class="uicontrol">Red Hat Login</span> and <span class="uicontrol">Why

Register</span> screens. The reason is that Red Hat updates can not be
|
||
|

applied to your server until the post-installation instructions have been
|

|
|
completed which are in the section titled <em>Completing the post-installation
|

<li class="stepexpand"><span>Once the post-installation instructions are complete, you can apply

Red Hat updates to your server.</span> <p></p>
|

|
|
<p><strong>Important:</strong> After
|
||
|
|
applying Red Hat updates, you <em>must</em> run <strong>ixsupdt</strong> before
|

|
|
you reboot your server. Details for ixsupdt are listed in the section titled <em>Maintaining

the Linux integration code</em>.</p>
