Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "Add the nomodeset parameter to the kernel command line to make sure that the open source drivers will not kick in."

A block of code is set as follows:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network crond)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

systemctl list-units --type=service
systemctl list-units -a --type=service

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "The Auto-Prepare option will guide you with the creation for a default partition scheme."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
