Specifications

Once the installation starts and all requirements have been fulfilled, YaST2
partitions and formats the necessary hard disk space on its own. The entire hard
disk or the available partitions are split up for SuSE Linux into the three standard
partitions: a small partition for /boot (about 16 MB) as close as possible to the
beginning of the hard disk, a partition for swap (128 MB), and all the rest for /
(root partition).
Boot Manager Configuration
For Linux to be bootable after the installation, a boot mechanism must be
installed. Specify how the boot manager LILO “LInux LOader” should be
installed or if another boot procedure should be used.
Setting the root Password
The user root has special privileges in Linux. He can, for instance, start and stop
system processes, create and remove users, and manipulate important system
files — in other words, perform the duties of the system administrator.
