Operation Manual
After the software installation has completed, the basic system is set up. Among others,
“Finishing the Basic Installation” includes installing the boot manager, initializing fonts
and more. Next YaST boots into the new Linux system to start the system conguration.
TIP: Existing SSH Host Keys
If you install openSUSE on a machine with existing Linux installations, the instal-
lation routine automatically imports the SSH host key with the most recent
access time from an existing installation.
1.14 Conguration of the Installed
System
The system is now installed, but not yet congured for use. The hardware, the network
and other services are not yet set up. If you follow the default installation path, the
system will be automatically congured. If you have deselected the Automatic Con-
guration, the manual system conguration starts.
1.14.1 Automatic System Conguration
Having rebooted, the system starts the Automatic Conguration. This routine attempts
to congure your network and Internet access and sets up your hardware. This process
does not need any interaction. You can change the settings made by Automatic Con-
guration at any time on the installed system with YaST. Continue with Section 1.15,
“Graphical Login” (page 36).
1.14.2 Manual System Conguration
Having rebooted, the system starts the manual conguration. If the conguration fails
at one of the steps of this stage, it restarts and continues from the last successful step.
