Mac OS X Leopard - ARCAism

APPENDIX B INSTALLING MAC OS X LEOPARD 549
NOTE All of these tasks are shown for a new install; if you have performed an upgrade or preserved
your user and networking information while doing an Archive and Install, many of these
post-installation steps will be skipped.
On the Welcome screen, you must first select your country and then click Continue. (The list
of countries initially presented is based on the language you selected when initially installing
Leopard; if your country isn’t shown, click the Show All option to reveal a much larger choice of
countries.) After that, click Continue, and you will be given a number of options for importing
existing computer data from another Mac or Mac OS volume (Figure B-10).
Figure B-10. If you have another Mac or Mac volume, you can import information to your newly
installed OS.
If you choose not to transfer any information now, you may do so at any time using the
Migration Assistant utility (in your Utilities folder).
Next, you are asked what type of keyboard you are using (Figure B-11). The list of keyboards
shown by default depends on the language and country you selected previously; click the
Show All option if your keyboard layout is not shown.
NOTE Your keyboard layout does more than just select a specific physical keyboard layout; it
also is used by the system to determine measurements and other system-wide settings. For
example, Canada and the United States use the same keyboard but have other important differences
(such as default measurement standards—the United States still uses the “standard”
measurement system rather than the metric system used by the rest of the world).
Once you select your keyboard, you will be asked to set up your networking. By default
OS X asks you to select a wireless network (Figure B-12). If you connect to the Internet by some
other means, you should click the Different Network Setup button, which will open a different
window (Figure B-13) to walk you through setting up all types of network connections.
NOTE If you have questions about setting up your networking, please refer to Chapter 9 or
Chapter 20.
