Chapter 10 . Running SUSE Linux 335 7. Desktop Selection. Choose KDE, GNOME, or Other to set your desktop environment. KDE is most commonly used with SUSE. With Other, you can have a minimal graphical interface or completely text-based (no GUI). Installation Settings The installation settings that appear allow you to select either the Overview or Expert tab. Review the settings on these tabs. The following steps describe how you might want to change the values shown. 8. System. Select System to probe your computer hardware. The result is details about the type and model of each hardware item on your computer. You can save this information to your hard disk (if there is an available partition) or to a floppy disk. Click Details to see further information about any selected item. You might find this information useful if, for some reason, the hardware is not properly configured after the install is complete. It will give you information you need to search the Web or ask a question to a Linux forum about your hardware problem. 9. Keyboard layout. Make sure the language/country associated with the keyboard you are using is properly identified. 10. Partitioning. Partitioning is very important, especially if you want to protect any data currently on your hard disk. Select Partitioning. SUSE recommends a partitioning scheme. (If your disk is already partitioned, SUSE tries to use that scheme.) You can simply accept that scheme (choose Accept Proposal As-Is and click Next) or elect to create a custom partition setup. The Expert partitioning selection enables you to use a partitioning interface that is very similar to Disk Druid. See the description of partitioning in Chapter 7 for information on partitioning your hard disk. If you ever plan to move your partitions around with a tool such as Partition Magic, you should assign your Linux partition to the ext3 file system type. (If you are an expert and want to use the fdisk command described there, press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a shell, run fdisk, and then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to the graphical installer.) 11. Software. Select Software to see a list of packages available to install on your hard disk. The default Desktop install offers the following package groups of software: Graphical Base System X Window System, window managers, graphics libraries, and so on. KDE Desktop Environment The KDE desktop and related applications. Help & Support Documentation The SUSE help system and related tools.
