_deployment_sp2/sled10_deployment_sp2.pdf.

System Requirements

• Personal computer with a Pentium* III 500 MHz or higher

processor (Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or higher or any AMD64

for Intel* EM64T processor recommended)

• 256 MB physical RAM (512 MB recommended)

•800 x 600 display resolution (1024 x 768 or higher recom-

mended)

Installing SUSE Linux Enterprise

Desktop

Use these instructions if there is no existing Linux system

on your machine or if you want to replace an existing Linux

system. See Section “Updating SUSE Linux Enterprise Desk-

top” for information on updating a SLED 10 system.

1. Insert the rst SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Service

Pack CD or the DVD into the drive, then reboot the

computer to start the installation program.

2. Select Installation on the boot screen, then press Enter.

This loads the installation program and starts the instal-

lation in normal mode. You can also select from the

following options:

•Boot from Hard Disk: Boots the system already

installed on the hard drive (the system that is normal-

ly booted when the machine is started).

•Installation—ACPI Disabled: If the normal instal-

lation fails, it could be because the system hardware

does not support the Advanced Conguration and

Power Interface (ACPI). If this seems to be the case,

use this option to install without ACPI support.

•Installation—Local APIC Disabled: If the normal

installation fails, it could be because the system

hardware does not support the local Advanced Pro-

grammable Interrupt Controller (APIC). If this seems

to be the case, use this option to install without local

APIC support.

•Installation—Safe Settings: Boots the system

with the DMA mode (for CD-ROM drives) and any

interfering power management functions disabled.

You can also use the command line to enter or

change kernel parameters.

•Rescue System: If you are unable to boot into

your installed Linux system, you can boot the com-

puter from the CD using this option. This starts a

minimal Linux system without a graphical user inter-

face, which lets you access disk partitions for trou-

bleshooting and repairing the installed system.

•Memory Test: Tests your system RAM by means

of repeated read and write cycles. This is done in an

Installation Quick Start

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP2

NOVELL® QUICK START CARD

endless loop because memory corruption often

shows up sporadically and many read and write cycles

might be necessary to detect it. If you suspect that

your RAM is defective, start this test and let it run

for several hours. If no errors are found after a long

period of time, you can assume that the memory is

intact. End the test by rebooting the system.

3. Select the language to be used during the installation

and for the installed system, then click Next.

4. Read the License Agreement, click Yes, I Agree to the

License Agreement, then click Next.

5. Select New Installation, then click Next:

6. Select the clock and time zone to use in your system.

You can also set the hardware clock to Local Time or

UTC. If you set the hardware clock to UTC, your system

can rely on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop to switch

between standard time and daylight saving time auto-

matically. Set the clock to Local Time if you are dual

booting. Click Next to proceed.

7. Use the Installation Settings screen to view the hard-

ware detected and to view a number of proposed in-

stallation and partitioning options, then select your

desired options.

The Overview tab contains options that sometimes need

manual intervention (in most common installation situ-

ations). The Expert tab contains special options, de-

scribed below.

IMPORTANT

If you do not make any changes to the Soft-

ware selections, GNOME is installed as the de-

fault desktop environment. To install KDE, click

Software and select KDE. Depending on your

available disk space, you can choose to install

both the GNOME and KDE desktops.

After conguring any of the items presented in these

dialogs, you are always returned to the Installation

Settings screen, which is updated accordingly.

•System: Detects system hardware and lets you

save the results to a oppy or le.

•Keyboard Layout: Lets you change the keyboard

layout. By default, the layout corresponds to the

language you selected before.

•Partitioning: Lets you customize the partitioning.

In most cases, YaST proposes a reasonable partition-

ing scheme that can be accepted without change.

For more information on partitioning options, see

“Section 3.7.1: Partitioning” in the Deployment Guide

at http://www.novell.com/documentation/

sled10/pdfdoc/sled10_deployment_sp2/

sled10_deployment_sp2.pdf.

•Add-On Products: Use this option to install addi-

tional products from a separate media source. You

can select various types of product media such as

CD, DVD, or local directory. You can also work direct-

ly with .ISO les (select Local Directory →ISO Im-

age).

•Software: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop offers

several types of software packages with various instal-

lation scopes. Use this option to change the selected

desktop environment and to add or remove packages

and lters.

•Booting: During the installation, YaST proposes

a boot conguration for your system. You should

normally leave these setting unchanged, but you can

use this option if you need a custom setup.

You can congure the boot mechanism to rely on a

special boot oppy. Although this means that the

boot oppy must be in the drive when booting, it

leaves an existing boot mechanism untouched. This

is usually unnecessary because YaST can congure

the boot loader to also boot existing operating sys-

tems.

You can also use the boot conguration to change

the location of the boot mechanism on the hard disk.

For more information, see “Section 17.3: Conguring

the Boot Loader with YaST” in the Deployment Guide

at http://www.novell.com/documentation/

sled10/pdfdoc/sled10_deployment_sp2/

sled10_deployment_sp2.pdf.

•Time Zone: Lets you change the previously select-

ed a time zone.

•Language: Lets you change the language you se-

lected in Step 3. You can also change the language

when you log in.

•Default Runlevel: Lets you dene how the system

is started after booting. Use the default runlevel 5:

Full Multiuser with Network and XDM (you will be

prompted to log in directly under a graphical inter-

face). Do not change the runlevel unless instructed

to do so by your system administrator.

8. Click Accept to accept any license agreements.

If you made changes to the default Software selections

in Step 7, you might also have to click Continue to re-

solve software dependencies.

9. When you have nished conguring the installation

settings, click Accept.

10. Click Install to begin the installation.

After completing the basic system setup and the instal-

lation of all selected software packages, the installation

boots into the new Linux system, after which you can

create users, congure the hardware, and set up system

services.

If you are installing from CD, leave CD 1 in your CD-

ROM drive during the reboot and do not select any

installation options, but Boot from Hard Disk. When the

reboot is nished, the installation continues and you

are prompted to insert the remaining CDs.

11. Type a password for the system administrator account

(called the root user, or root), then click Next.

Unlike regular users who might or might not have

permission to do certain things on the system, root

has unlimited power to do anything, including change

the system conguration, install programs, set up new

hardware, and change user passwords. The root ac-

count should be used only for system administration,

maintenance, and repair. Logging in as root for daily

work can be risky, because a single mistake could lead

to the irretrievable loss of system les.

You should never forget the root password. After you

enter it here, the password cannot be retrieved. It can

only be reset with administrative assistance.

12. Enter a name for this computer and the DNS domain

that it belongs to, then click Next.

13. In the Network Conguration screen, view or change

the network connections of your system, then click

Next.

If you have network devices (for example, network or

wireless cards, a DSL connection, ISDN adapter, or

modem), it is a good idea to congure them now, be-

cause an Internet connection allows your product to

retrieve any available updates and include them in the

installation.

To skip the network conguration, click Skip Congu-

ration →Next.

14. To test your Internet connection, click Yes, Test Connec-

tion to the Internet, then click Next.

This option also checks for the latest SUSE Linux Enter-

prise Desktop release notes. If you don’t want to test

the connection at this point (or check for updated re-

lease notes), click No, Skip This Test, click Next, then

continue with Step 17.

15. On the Running Internet Connection Test screen, view

the results of the test, then click Next to continue.

16. On the Novell Customer Center Conguration screen,

click Congure Now →Next →Continue to enable

your system for online updates.

Click Congure Later →Next to skip this step and

continue the installation. You can congure this option

after the product has been installed.

17. In the User Authentication Method screen, select Local

(/etc/passwd), unless instructed otherwise by your sys-

tem administrator, then click Next.

18. To create your user account, type your rst and last

name in the User’s Full Name eld, a username in the

Username eld, and a password (as recommended by

your system administrator) in the Password eld.

For security reasons, your password should be at least

eight characters long and should contain both upper-

case and lowercase letters and numbers. The maximum

length for passwords is 72 characters, and passwords

are case-sensitive.

19. Click Next to complete the User Authentication setup

and start the system conguration.

20. After the system conguration has completed, view

the Release Notes, then click Next.

21. Use the Hardware Conguration screen to view or

congure your graphics card and other hardware de-

vices, then click Next.

Click a component to start its conguration. For the

most part, the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop installa-

tion detects and congures the devices automatically.

If you prefer not to perform this action right now, click

Skip Conguration →Next. You can congure these

items later, but we recommend you to congure the

graphics card now. Although the display settings auto-

matically congured by YaST should be generally ac-

ceptable, you might have strong preferences as far as

resolution, color depth, and other graphics features

are concerned. For more information, see “Section

7.13: Sax2” in the Deployment Guide at http://www

.novell.com/documentation/sled10/pdfdoc/

sled10_deployment_sp2/sled10_deployment

_sp2.pdf.

22. On the Installation Completed screen, click Finish to

close the installation and continue to the login screen.

23. Type your username in the Username eld, then press

Enter.

24. Type your password in the Password eld, then press

Enter.

according to your requirements.

You can usually leave the default settings untouched,

but if you intend to enhance your system, select the

packages offered in the Update Options submenu or

add support for additional languages.

You can also make backups of various system compo-

nents. Selecting backups slows down the update pro-

cess. Use this option if you do not have a recent system

backup.

8. When you have nished conguring the installation

settings, click Accept.

9. Click Start Update to begin the installation

After completing the basic system setup and the instal-

lation of all selected software packages, the installation

boots into the updated Linux system, after which you

can congure the hardware and set up system services.

If you are updating from CD, leave CD 1 in your CD-
