Basic SUSE Linux Installation


  1. Insert the SUSE Linux boot DVD and re-boot your server from the DVD drive.

  2. Choose Installation from the DVD Boot Options Menu.

  3. Wait for a few minutes during Initializing Hardware.

  4. Choose the SUSE installation language, most often English (US).

  5. On the Installation Settings screen, choose New Installation. Note that this screen does not appear if a brand new, unformatted hard drive is being used.

  6. Make any necessary changes to Installation Settings—including the formatting of disk partitions, setting the Time Zone, and adjusting the software to be installed (do not install Office Applications).

  7. Confirm the package license for the Macromedia flash player.

  8. Confirm the installation by clicking on the Install button.

  9. The system then goes on to prepare the hard disk and performs the installation—this should take 10-15 minutes.

  10. The system then reboots—and you must choose Boot from Hard Disk. Congratulations—your basic SUSE Linux installation is complete. You will now go on to configure your server installation.
