Chapter 1 ✦ Installing SUSE 10

Next, as with most software products, you have to agree to the SUSE license before

using the system.

Customizing the Installation

For SUSE to operate correctly, the system time must be correct (you may get quite

confused when the system says something happened at 3 a.m. when in fact it hap-

pened at noon!). Before partitioning your disks and setting up your system, you will

need to select your time zone, check your date and time, and also your location

(see Figure 1-6).

Selecting Your Desktop Environment

A new change to the SUSE installation is the option to select your desktop environ-

ment during installation (see Figure 1-7). If you are a GNOME or KDE fan, you can

select one of those here. If you prefer another desktop environment (for example,

Window Maker), then click Other and then Select. . . .
