Now that you've installed SUSE 10 get steps for configuring and running it.
When you've made any changes to the installation, select the Accept button in the
Installation Settings window, and the installation process begins. You will be asked
if you definitely want to create the partitions you defined and the filesystems that
sit above them (see Figure 1-20). Partitioning the disk is a destructive process and
will remove any data that those partitions replace.
This is your last chance to abort your installation without making any changes to
your disk. You should continue only if you are sure that the selected settings are correct.
If you are installing SUSE Linux 10 for the first time on a new computer system, you have
nothing to worry about. If you are installing SUSE Linux 10 on an existing computer system on
which you need to preserve existing data, double-check your settings before proceeding.
You can double-check that your partitioning scheme is, in fact, correct for
your environment and make changes as necessary by selecting Partitioning from the
Installation Settings screen Then triple-check your selections before proceeding.
Selecting Install will destructively create the partitions and filesystems and installs
the packages you selected.
Figure 1-20
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 packages
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.
