Part I ✦ SUSE Linux Basics
During the installation routine, you can control the screen with your keyboard using
accelerators. Any option on the screen can be selected by pressing the Control key
(Ctrl) and the accelerator code, signified by an underlined character in a button or a
GUI element. For example, in Figure 1-4, pressing Ctrl+R will abort the installation
while Ctrl+N will accept the setting you selected and proceed to the next screen.
Media Check
Before starting the installation process, you will be asked whether you want to
check the media you are using during installation. With any mass produced optical
media, there is always a possibility that something might be wrong with your disks
(if there is, SUSE will replace them for you). The media check (see Figure 1-5) is a
precautionary measure for you to check that everything is ok before formatting
your hard drive and potentially being left with an unusable system until you get
your new SUSE disks.
You can either skip the check by clicking Next or check your media by clicking Start
Check. We will skip the check as we know our media is good.
