Chapter 1 ✦ Installing SUSE 10
This enables the user to configure services and server processes without having to
understand application-specific configuration files. When all packages have been
installed, SuSEconfig picks up the default configuration files installed by SUSE and
writes out specific application configurations.
SuSEconfig is a core element of the SUSE system and allows YaST to maintain con-
figuration files for services it can control. Any time you make changes to a service
using YaST, SuSEconfig will be called to commit those changes.
Reviewing the Release Notes
When SuSEconfig has finished its initial installation, you will be shown the SUSE
release notes (see Figure 1-29). These notes contain general information about
changes from previous versions of SUSE Linux, as well as a technical overview of
the previous version. This file also provides errata from the SUSE manual and is
worth a read to get a general idea as to what has happened since the last release.
Ninety percent of users at this point have not touched the included manuals with
SUSE, except perhaps to move them out of the way when locating the installation
media, so this at least gives you an introduction to the features and functionality
of the product.
