Default route
Do you want to specify a default route IP address, or let the OS installation program find one?
The default route provides a bridge that forwards traffic between two physical networks. Choices:
  • You can specify the IP address. An /etc/defaultrouter file is created with the specified IP address. When the system is rebooted, the specified IP address becomes the default route.

  • You can let the OS installation program detect an IP address. However, the system must be on a subnet that has a router that advertises itself by using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for router discovery. If you are using the command-line interface, the software detects an IP address when the system is booted.

  • You can select None if you do not have a router or do not want the software to detect an IP address at this time. The software automatically tries to detect an IP address on reboot.

  • Specify one

  • Detect one

  • None*

Time zone
How do you want to specify your default time zone?
  • Geographic region*

  • Offset from GM

  • Time zone file
