Chapter 10 . Running SUSE Linux 333 The DVD that comes with this book includes the first of five OpenSUSE 10.0 CDs that you can copy and use. If you want to download the complete OpenSUSE set or a trial version of SUSE Linux, go to the OpenSUSE download page (www.opensuse .org/us/private/Download). In either case, you have to burn the CD image to a CD yourself. (See Appendix A for information on how to do that.) 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, which 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. Before You Begin To install SUSE, you need at least 96MB of main memory. The entire SUSE default installation requires about 2GB of disk space, although you can get by with less by deselecting packages during installation. Installation should work on any Pentiumclass x86 PC. The description here tells how to install by booting the installation CD and installing the software from that medium. If you don t have a bootable CD, you can create a boot floppy from the floppy image on the CD. To see available boot images and descriptions of how to create boot floppies, refer to the README file in the /boot directory on the SUSE installation CD. Although you need a boot CD or floppy disk to begin the installation, the actual software you are installing can reside in other locations. In fact, because I m providing the SUSE network install CD image, you need a network card installed on your computer and a connection to the Internet to complete the installation. Then, SUSE software can be gathered from the following types of locations: . FTP From the installation boot prompt, identify the location of the directory on an FTP server that contains the contents of the SUSE packages. For example, to install from the /install directory from the FTP server at 10.0.0.1, type the following at the boot prompt: install=ftp://10.0.0.1/install . HTTP To use a Web (http) server instead of an FTP server, type the following: install=http://10.0.0.1/install Note
