Quick Start Guide

prerequisite for the automatic addition of the default repositories and for updating
online.
If you have multiple network interfaces, verify that the desired card is used to connect
to the Internet. If not, click Change Device.
To start the test, select Yes, Test Connection to the Internet and click Next. In the
following dialog, view the progress of the test and the results. Detailed information
about the test process is available via View Logs. If the test fails, click Back to return
to the network conguration to correct your entries.
Proceed with Next. If the test was successful, the ocial software repositories for
openSUSE and the update repository will be congured. Downloading the repository
data for the rst time may take some time.
If you do not want to test the connection at this point, select No, Skip This Test then
Next. This also skips downloading the release notes, and updating online. These
steps can be performed any time after the system has been initially congured.
1.14.2.3 Online Update
If an Internet connection has been established, and updates are available, select
whether to perform a YaST online update. If there are any patched packages available
on the servers, download and install them now to x known bugs or security issues.
For detailed instructions see Chapter 4, YaST Online Update (↑Reference). Directives
on how to perform an online update in the installed system are available at Sec-
tion 3.3, “Keeping the System Up-to-date” (page 44) or Chapter 4, YaST Online Update
(↑Reference). This step is skipped if no updates are available or no Internet connection
has been established. Patches xing security issues and recommended patches ap-
plying to your installation are automatically preselected. Click Accept to install them
and Next to proceed with the system conguration.
IMPORTANT: Downloading Software Updates
The download of updates might take quite some time, depending on the bandwidth
of the Internet connection and the size of the update les. In case the patch system
itself is updated, the online update will restart and download more patches after
the restart. If the kernel was updated, the system will reboot before completing
the conguration.
1.14.2.4 New Local User
If no local user was created in phase one, you can create one in this dialog—otherwise
this step is skipped. To create more users, manage groups, modify defaults for new
users and set up network authentication, launch User Management. Refer to Chap-
ter 8, Managing Users with YaST (↑Reference) for more information about user
management. To skip this step, click Next without entering any data.
