Linux Solutions

It is important to note that before the real installation takes place, you can alter installation settings suggested by YaST and also review the settings you made so far.
To modify the suggestions, either click Change and select the category to change or click on one of the headlines. After configuring any of the items presented in these dialogs, you are always returned to the Installation Settings window, which is updated accordingly.

Partitioning
Review and—if necessary—change the partition setup you configured earlier. Changing the partition setup opens the Expert Partitioner.

Booting
YaST proposes a boot configuration for your system. Other operating systems found on your computer, such as Microsoft Windows or other Linux installations, will automatically be detected and added to the boot loader. However, openSUSE will be booted by default.

Software
openSUSE contains a number of software patterns for various application purposes. Click Software to start the pattern selection and modify the installation scope according to your needs. Select your pattern from the list and see the software packages included in the right part of the window. Each pattern contains a number of software packages needed for specific functions (e.g. Multimedia or Office software). For a more detailed selection based on software packages to install, select Details to switch to the YaST Software Manager.
You can also install additional software packages or remove software packages from your system at any later time with the YaST Software Manager.

Locale Settings
In Locale settings, you can change the system Language and Keyboard Layout you defined in the first step of the installation. It is also possible to add additional languages.

System language settings
In order to change or adjust the system language settings, select Language. Select a language from the list. The primary language is used as the system language.

Keyboard layout settings
You can also adapt keyboard layout and time zone to the primary language if the current settings differ. You can choose secondary languages to be able to switch to a language at any time without having to install additional packages. To change the keyboard layout, select Keyboard Layout. By default, the layout corresponds to the language chosen for installation. Select the keyboard layout from the list. Use the Test field at the bottom of the dialog to check if you can enter special characters of that layout correctly. When finished, click Accept to return to the installation summary.

User Settings
You are able to change the current User settings and change or set the Root Password here.

Default Runlevel
openSUSE can boot to different runlevels. Normally, there should be no need to change anything here, but if necessary set the default runlevel with this dialog.

System
The system dialogue box presents all the hardware information YaST could obtain about your computer. When called, the hardware detection routine is started. Depending on your system, this may take some time. Select any item in the list and click Details to see detailed information about the selected item. Use Save to File to save a detailed list to either the local file system or a floppy. Advanced users can also change the PCI ID setup and Kernel Settings by choosing System Settings.

Installation from Images
Installing from images considerably speeds up the installation. Images contain compressed snapshots of installed systems matching your selection of patterns. Packages not contained in the images deployed will be installed conventionally. Unless your custom software selection does not match any of the available images, this feature is Enabled by default. In case of problems, Disable it for debugging purposes.
