If you press ‘Next’, the installation will start.
Confirming Settings and Starting the Installation
Review all the settings made until now. To make changes, cycle through the
windows with ‘Back’. If you press ‘Next’, you are asked again for confirmation
(in green) to start the installation with the settings as shown. After confirming
with ‘Yes — install’, YaST2 begins setting up the system. With ‘No’, you have the
option of checking data again and changing items where necessary by pressing
‘Back’ to reach the relevant window.
You still have the option of aborting the installation completely. All settings
made and details supplied will be lost. If you select ‘Abort installation’, your
computer, after asking for confirmation, shuts down and you can switch off the
computer or reboot without any problem. Up to this point, no changes have been
made to your computer.
With ‘Save Settings to Floppy Disk’, save all details to floppy disk and use them
again for other installations. This can only be selected if it is supported by your
hardware.
After selecting ‘Yes — install’, partitions are created and formatted. Depending
on your system’s capacity and the size of the hard disk, this could take some
time. Avoid aborting here, as this would put the hard disk into an undefined
condition.
Afterwards, the packages from the CD are loaded and the SuSE Linux base
system is installed. After you have confirmed this with ‘OK’, the base system is
started. YaST2 continues the installation of software and, if necessary, requests
additional CDs. If you ‘Abort’ the installation at this stage, the system is
unusable.
Configure the graphical interface then try out SuSE Linux.
Preparing the Graphical Interface

needs for the monitor and graphics card. If this is successful, a sensible screen
