For those cases, you can try starting installation by selecting ACPI Disabled (which turns
off ACPI) or Safe Settings (which turns off ACPI and APM as well as turning off DMA for any IDE CD,
DVD, or hard drives).
5. Installation mode. Here you can choose whether to run a new installation or upgrade
from an older version. Choosing to upgrade an existing openSUSE Linux installation will
take more time than a clean (new) installation. You can also select the Include Add-On
Products From Separate Media option if you have downloaded and burned a copy of the
Add-On CD for openSUSE 10.3.
For either an upgrade or a new installation, you should back up all your data before you
start.
6. Network setup. You are prompted to set up your network connection, so you can get
files from remote repositories if they are needed. When prompted, choose the type of network
connection to use (DHCP or static addressing).
