SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 Installation Quick Start

SUSE®Linux Enterprise

Desktop

June 1, 2006

Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise

Desktop

SUSE Linux* Enterprise Desktop (SLED) offers a stable and secure working environment packed

with easy-to-use business software and services. SLED offers both GNOME* and KDE desktops

as well as leading Novell products and services to create a work environment that helps you

capture and share business information.

For more detailed installation instructions and deployment strategies, see the SUSE Linux

Enterprise Desktop Deployment Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/sled10/pdfdoc/

sled10_deployment/sled10_deployment.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 MB available disk space (2.5 GB recommended)

⌧800 x 600 display resolution (1024 x 768 or higher recommended)

INSTALLING SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP

Use these instructions if there is no existing Linux system on you machine or if you want to replace

an existing Linux system. See “Updating SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop” on page 5 for

information on updating an NLD 9 system to SLED 10.

1Insert the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop CD 1 or DVD into the drive, then reboot the

computer to start the installation program.

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

This loads the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop installation program and starts the installation

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 normally booted when the machine is started).

novdocx (ENU) 01 February 2006

• Installation—ACPI Disabled: If the normal installation fails, it could be because the

system hardware doesn’t support the Advanced Configuration 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 doesn’t support the local Advanced Programmable

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 computer from the CD using this option. This starts a minimal Linux system

without a graphical user interface, which lets you access disk partitions for

troubleshooting and repairing the installed system.

• Memory Test: Tests your system RAM by means of repeated read and write cycles.

This is done in an 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.

3Select the language to be used during the installation and for the installed system, then click

Next.

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

5Select New Installation, then click Next:

6Select the clock and time zone to use in your system, then click Next.

7Use the Installation Settings screen to view the hardware detected and to view a number of

proposed installation and partitioning options, then select your desired options.

The Overview tab contains options that sometimes need manual intervention (in most

common installation situations). The Expert tab contains special options, described below.

IMPORTANT: If you do not make any changes to the Software selections, GNOME is

installed as the default 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 configuring 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 floppy or file.

• Keyboard Layout: Lets you change the previously selected keyboard layout. By

default, the layout corresponds to the selected language.

novdocx (ENU) 01 February 2006

• Partitioning: Lets you customize the partitioning. In most cases, SUSE Linux

Enterprise Desktop proposes a reasonable partitioning scheme that can be accepted

without change.

For more information on partitioning options, see “Section 3.7.1: Partitioning” in the

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Deployment Guide (http://www.novell.com/

documentation/sled10/pdfdoc/sled10_deployment/sled10_deployment.pdf).

• Add-On Products: Use this option to install additional 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 directly with .ISO files (select Local Directory > ISO

Image).

• Software: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop offers several types of software packages

with various installation scopes. Use this option to change the selected desktop

environment and to add or remove packages and filters.

•Booting:During the installation, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop proposes a boot

configuration for your system. You should normally leave these setting unchanged, but

you can use this option if you need a custom setup.

You can configure the boot mechanism to rely on a special boot floppy. Although this

means that the boot floppy must be in the drive when booting, it leaves an existing boot

mechanism untouched. This is usually unnecessary because YaST can configure the

boot loader to also boot existing operating systems.

You can also use the boot configuration to change the location of the boot mechanism

on the hard disk.

For more information, see “Section 17.3: Configuring the Boot Loader with YaST” in

the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Deployment Guide (http://www.novell.com/

documentation/sled10/pdfdoc/sled10_deployment/sled10_deployment.pdf).

• Time Zone: Lets you select a time zone. 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

automatically. Set the clock to Local Time if you are dual booting.

• Language: Lets you change the language you selected in Step 3 on page 2. You can

also change the language when you log in.

• Default Runlevel: Lets you define 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 interface). Do not change the runlevel unless instructed to do

so by your system administrator.

8When you are finished configuring the installation settings, click Accept.

9Click Accept to accept each license agreement, then click Install to begin the installation.

novdocx (ENU) 01 February 2006

After completing the basic system setup and the installation of all selected software

packages, the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop installation boots into the new Linux system,

after which you can create users, configure 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. When the reboot is finished, the installation continued and you

are prompted to insert the remaining CDs.

10 Enter a name for this computer and the DNS domain that it belongs to, then click Next.

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

configuration, install programs, set up new hardware, and change user passwords. The

root account 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 files.

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 In the Network Configuration 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 configure them now, because an Internet

connection allows SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop to retrieve any available updates and

include them in the installation.

The network hardware can also be configured after the system installation has been

completed. See the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 GNOME User Guide (http://

www.novell.com/documentation/sled10/userguide_gnome/data/bktitle.html) and the SUSE

Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 KDE User Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/sled10/

pdfdoc/userguide_kde/userguide_kde.pdf) for more information.

To skip the network configuration, click Skip Configuration > Next.

13 To test your Internet connection, click Yes, Test Connection to the Internet > Next.

This option also checks for the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop release notes. If you

don’t want to test the connection at this point, click No, Skip This Test > Next. This also skips

checking for updated release notes.

14 On the Running Internet Connection Test screen, view the results of the test, then click Next

to continue.

15 On the Novell Customer Center Configuration screen, click Configure Now > Next >

Continue to enable your system for online updates.

novdocx (ENU) 01 February 2006

Click Configure Later > Next to skip this step and continue the installation. You can configure

this option after the product has been installed.

If online updates are available and you want to install them, select Run Update on the Online

Update screen, then click Next. To skip the online updates, select Skip Update, then click

Next. You can update your system any time after installation.

16 In the User Authentication Method screen, select Local (/etc/passwd), unless instructed

otherwise by your system administrator, then click Next.

17 To create your user account, type your first and last name in the User’s Full Name field, a

username in the Username field, and a password (as recommended by your system

administrator) in the Password field.

For security reasons, your password should be at least eight characters long and should

contain both uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. The maximum length for

passwords is 72 characters, and passwords are case sensitive.

18 Click Next to complete the User Authentication setup and start the system configuration.

19 After the system configuration has completed, view the Release Notes, then click Next.

20 Use the Hardware Configuration screen to view or configure your graphics card and other

hardware devices, then click Next.

Click a component to start its configuration. For the most part, the SUSE Linux Enterprise

Desktop installation detects and configures the devices automatically.

If you prefer not to perform this action right now, click Skip Configuration > Next. You can

configure these items later, but we recommend that you configure the graphics card now.

Although the display settings autoconfigured by SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop should be

generally acceptable, 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 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Deployment Guide (http://www.novell.com/

documentation/sled10/pdfdoc/sled10_deployment/sled10_deployment.pdf).

21 On the Installation Completed screen, click Finish to close the SUSE Linux Enterprise

Desktop installation and continue to the login screen.

22 Type your username in the Username field, then press Enter.

23 Type your password in the Password field, then press Enter.

UPDATING SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP

continue the installation.

5Select Update, then click Next:

6Select the partition or system to update, then click Next.

7In the Installation Settings screen, adjust the settings 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 components. Selecting backups slows down

the update process. Use this option if you do not have a recent system backup.
