Installing openSUSE
The installation procedure described here is for openSUSE Linux 10.3. This edition is available free
of charge. Functionally, it is almost exactly the same as the SUSE Linux 10.3 boxed set version that
Novell sells. The primary differences between the two are product support (only with SUSE Linux)
and inclusion of some non??“open source software (also only with SUSE Linux). So, essentially, these
instructions should work equally well for both SUSE and openSUSE 10.3.
The DVD that comes with this book includes the openSUSE 10.3 KDE install CD, remastered
to coexist with other Linux distributions on the DVD. If you like SUSE and want a commercial
version, select the How to Buy link at the SUSE Linux site (www.novell.com/products/
suselinux). You can purchase a boxed set of SUSE Linux, which includes installation support,
some non??“open source software (such as multimedia plug-ins and Java support) and hardcopy
documentation. Or you can choose one of the other editions, such as the SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server edition, that also include support and documentation.
The installation description in this chapter covers installs on Intel x86 PCs. If you have
AMD 64-bit or Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology systems, you need to purchase
the SUSE Linux boxed set, which includes installation media for both of those types of hardware, or
download the version of openSUSE for the x86_64 platform.
