3. Select the language to be used during the installation

and for the installed system.

4. Read the License Agreement and click Yes, I Agree to

the License Agreement. Proceed with Next.

5. Decide if you want to accomplish a New Installation

or an update from a previous version of SUSE Linux

Enterprise. Proceed with Next.

6. Select the clock and time zone to use in your system.

Proceed with Next.

7. Decide if you want to install as primary operating sys-

tem on a Physical Machine, as a virtual guest inside a

XEN machine by selecting Virtual Machine, or as a vir-

tualization host that can run other virtual machines

with the option XEN Virtualization Host. Proceed with

Next.

8. Use the Installation Settings screen to view a number

of proposed installation and partitioning options, then

change your desired options if necessary.

The Overview tab contains options that sometimes need

manual intervention (in most common installation situ-

ations). The Expert tab contains special options, de-

scribed below.

IMPORTANT

If you do not make any changes to the Soft-

ware selections, GNOME is installed as the de-

fault desktop environment. To install KDE, click

Software and select KDE. Depending on your

available disk space, you can choose to install

both desktops. Proceed with Install.

9. Click Accept to accept any license agreements.

10. Start the installation with Install.

After completing the basic system setup and the instal-

lation of all selected software packages, the SUSE Linux

Enterprise Server installation boots into the new Linux

system. After the reboot you will see the following

screen:

11. Type a password for the system administrator account

(called the root user).

You should never forget the root password! After you

entered it here, the password cannot be retrieved. It

can only be reset with administrative assistance. Pro-

ceed with Next.

12. Enter a name for this computer and the DNS domain

that it belongs to. Proceed with Next.

13. In the Network Conguration screen, view or change

the network connections of your system.

If you have network devices (for example, network or

wireless cards, a DSL connection, ISDN adapter, or

modem), it is a good idea to congure them now, be-

cause an Internet connection allows SUSE Linux Enter-

prise Server to retrieve any available updates and in-

clude them in the installation. Proceed with Next.

14. Test your Internet connection with Yes, Test Connection

to the Internet. This option also checks for the latest

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server release notes. Proceed

with Next.

15. View the results of the test on the Running Internet

Connection Test screen. Proceed with Next.

16. Enable on the Novell Customer Center Conguration

screen your system for online updates with Congure

Now > Next > Continue.

Click Congure Later > Next to skip this step and con-

tinue the installation. You can congure this option

after the product has been installed. Proceed with Next.

17. By default, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server creates a cer-

ticate for the system. To disable this, click Skip Con-

guration > Next. Proceed with Next.

18. Select Local (/etc/passwd) in the User Authentication

Method screen, unless instructed otherwise by your

system administrator. Proceed with Next.

19. Type your rst and last name in the User’s Full Name

eld, your login name in the Username eld, and your

password (as recommended by your system administra-

tor) in the Password eld.

For security reasons, your password should be at least

eight characters long and should contain both upper-

case and lowercase letters and numbers. The maximum

length for passwords is 72 characters, and passwords

are case sensitive. Proceed with Next.

20. View the Release Notes after the system conguration

has completed. Proceed with Next.

21. Use the Hardware Conguration screen to view or

congure your graphics card and other hardware de-

vices. Proceed with Next.

22. On the Installation Completed screen, click Finish to

close the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation and

continue to the login screen.

23. Click on your username, and type your password in the

Password eld, then press Enter.
