Chapter 1 ✦ Installing SUSE 10

When a package is selected, your disk usage will be increased to reflect the size of

the install domain.

Select Accept to add those packages you select to the install list and take you back

to the package installation summary screen.

Selecting a Boot Loader

The next item you can change is the configuration of the boot loader. A boot loader

is central to the deployment of Linux as it controls the booting of operating sys-

tems on the PC. To customize the boot loader that is used by your SUSE installa-

tion, you must click the Booting heading in YaST’s Expert Installation Settings panel,

or click the Change button (under the Expert Tab) and select Booting from the pop-

up menu. Doing either of these displays the pane shown in Figure 1-17, YaST’s Boot

Loader Settings screen.
