## 1. Hint

If you have no Ethernet adaptor and no connection to the Internet you can mostly disregard this screen and just invent a name for your machine. Even the IP number is optional.

If you ...

- do have an Ethernet adaptor,
- intend to do some networking with Linux with other Unix/Linux machine on your LAN,
- know nothing about TCP/IP networking,
- and nobody around knows anything about TCP/IP networking,

then select the option "Install Isolated/simple network from scratch" under the menu item "Networking". You can then disregard this screen.
