Users can disregard information in a note and still complete a task, but they should not disregard an important note.

A note supplies information that may apply only in special cases for example, memory limitations, equipment configurations, or details that apply to specific versions of a program. The names of commands, files, and directories. On-screen computer output in your command-line sessions; source code in XML, C++, or other programming languages. Important: The device drivers installed automatically during Setup are required by your system. If you remove one of these drivers, your system may not work properly. Note: If Windows prompts you for a network password at startup, your network is already set up and you can skip this section. Use vzctl start to start a VE. Saved parameters for VE 101 Preformatted Bold What you type, contrasted with on-screen computer output. # rpm V virtuozzo-release CAPITALS Names of keys on the keyboard.
