We have included the KDE CD on the DVD that comes with this book. If you want to download
the GNOME version or the full openSUSE 10.3 install DVD, follow the Download link from the
openSUSE.org site. From that same site, you can download the Non-Open Source Software CD, which
contains software that is not open source but can otherwise be distributed without cost.
1. Insert the installation DVD in your drive. Reboot the computer. The installation boot
screen appears.
2. Installation type. Type suse and then press Enter.
3. Swap space. Select whether you want to create a swap partition or a swap file. A swap
partition is the default, and the one recommended. With a single hard disk, the swap partition
will default to sda1. The system will reboot and open YaST. (If your hard disk
already has a swap partition, the installer will skip this step.)
4. License. Read the Novell Software License Agreement. If you agree, select Yes and click
Next. (If you select No, it ends the install process.) You are prompted to select an install
mode. The system is probed to make sure minimum hardware requirements are met.
Sometimes installation can fail because the computer hardware doesn??™t support certain
features, such as power management (ACPI or APM) or DMA on hard drives or removable
media.
