Installation with YaST
from there, you can enter this option manually. This measure is necessary
if you encounter system messages such as "bad interpreter" or "Permission
denied".
Detailed background information and tips for partitioning are provided
in Section 3.9 on page 134.
1.7.6 Software
SUSE LINUX contains a number of software packages for various applica-
tion purposes. As it would be burdensome to select the needed packages
one by one, SUSE LINUX offers three system types with various instal-
lation scopes. Depending on the available disk space, YaST selects one of
these predefined systems and displays it in the suggestion window.
Minimal System (only recommended for special purposes)
This basically includes the core operating system with various ser-
vices, but without any graphical user interface. The machine can
only be operated using ASCII consoles. This system type is especially
suitable for server scenarios that require little direct user interaction.
Minimal Graphical System (without KDE)
If you do not want the KDE desktop or if there is insufficient disk
space, install this system type. The installed system includes the
X Window System and a basic window manager. You can use all
programs that have their own graphical user interface.
Default System (with KDE) This system type includes the KDE desktop
together with most of the KDE programs and the CUPS print server.
If possible, YaST selects this system type.
Full Installation This system type is the largest one and includes all pack-
ages coming with SUSE LINUX, except those that would result in de-
pendency conflicts.
Click ‘Software Selection’ in the suggestion window to open a dialog in
which to select one of the predefined systems. To start the software instal-
lation module (package manager) and modify the installation scope, click
‘Detailed Selection’.See Figure 1.14 on the following page.
