Skip options

[ersxer]

Hello,
I want to know if I can skip some options in MX Linux.
In debian you can skip workgroup and domain. 1. How I can skip workgroup and domain in MX Linux ?
2. How I can use blocks instead of MB in GParted to resize/create disks ?
I wanted to skip root, but then I saw viewtopic.php?f=92&t=48877

Are you asking about the install process or something else?

Do you have any pressing reasons to skip these in the install? You can choose not to install samba to disable network sharing "workgroups". Your computer really requires a name (hostname), though.

if you're the only user, just use the same password for root and sudo to make things simpler.

Thank you
I don't want to skip hostname, just workgroup and domain.

I think those are required during installation only because samba is installed and enabled by default, to make network filesharing with Windows PCs work right out of the box. You should be able to disable or uninstall samba in the live CD, then I think workgroup at least will no longer be required during installation (I don't know about domain.)

During installation you will see on Screen 6 a section 6d Service Settings (advanced)at the bottom with a button labeled "View." If you click on that you will see a new screen of the services that start up where you can uncheck samba. Images and comments in the Users Manual, Section 2.5.

Not sure if that will do what you want, though.

I believe the OP is talking about this part of the installer setup.

The workgroup field pre-populates the smb.conf samba configuration file with the name of a network share workgroup. If you aren't hosting files, it doesn't do anything whether the value is present or not. "workgroup" is the default workgroup name entry in smb.conf, so even if you skipped it, it would still be configured, so just leave the default if you don't have a preference.

Similar idea with domain, unless you are actually using domain features, the field doesn't do anything. that field populates "/etc/defaultdomain".
