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 Linux 10 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.
Next, as with most software products, you have to agree to the SUSE Linux 10 license before
using the system.
