334 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution . NFS To use an NFS server instead of an FTP server, type the following: install=nfs://10.0.0.1/install Other installation media that are supported include hard disk (with the SUSE software installed on a different hard disk or partition on the local computer) and Samba (where the software is on an SMB share from a Windows or other Linux system). Starting Installation Here are the steps for installing SUSE Linux on your hard disk, using the network install CD: 1. Insert the installation CD in your CD drive. Reboot the computer. The SUSE installation boot screen appears. 2. Installation type. Use your arrow keys to highlight Installation and then press Enter. The YaST screen appears to begin installation. 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. 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). The remaining steps in the installation process are divided into three sections: Preparation, Installation Settings, and Configuration. Preparation Continue with Step 3 to prepare for installation. 3. Language. Select the Language you want to use for your SUSE Linux system and click Next. The License Agreement appears. 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. 5. Mode. Here you can choose whether to run a new installation or upgrade from an older version. Choosing to upgrade an existing SUSE Linux installation will take more time than a clean (new) installation. For either an upgrade or new installation, you should back up all your data before you start. 6. Clock and Time zone. Select the time zone in which you re located. If the time is wrong, click Change, and type your new date and/or time and click Apply. Select Next to continue. You are asked to choose a Desktop. Caution Note
