Chapter 1 ✦ Installing SUSE 10
Figure 1-20: Confirmation of installation
During package installation, you can view the progress, the CDs needed, and also an
overview of the package use by selecting the Details button. To switch back to the
slideshow, select the Slideshow button.
This may be a good time to get a coffee, as nothing interesting happens while pack-
ages are installed. If you are installing from CDs, after the packages from CD 1 are
installed, the system will automatically reboot itself to use the specific kernel for
your architecture, as well as to commit packages installed on the system.
If you think back to the discussion of the install boot options at the beginning of the
chapter, you will remember that the default is to boot off the hard drive first. This
helps a lot if you leave the install media in the drive and are drinking your coffee in
another room.
When the system has rebooted, YaST asks you for the remaining media to install the
rest of the packages. In the case of a minimal installation, or all packages being
installed, YaST proceeds automatically to the system configuration.
