Introduction to Fibric

Once you finalized the steps described in the installation chapter (see Section 3, “Installing PXE”), you rebooted your server. In the installation's second step, you are be able to install and configure basic services you wish to manage on your server through Fibric (which stands for “First Boot RPM Installer and Configurator”).

Fibric runs as a small web server which is accessible from port 3737. Once you've installed a Mandriva Linux Corporate Server 4, it will run at first boot.
