54 Installing SUSE Linux Installing SUSE Linux from CDs or DVD To install SUSE Linux from CDs or DVD that you have ordered from SUSE, simply insert the first CD or the DVD into your PC s CD/DVD drive and restart your PC (in Windows, choose Start.Shutdown and then select Restart from the dialog box). Note that you may have to enter SETUP and make sure that your PC is set to boot from the CD/DVD drive. If you are using CDs, the installation steps are the same as that for the DVD except that you have to swap CDs when prompted by the installation program. After your PC powers up, a boot loader starts and displays an initial boot screen with a menu of items. Table 2-2 lists these boot menu items and their meaning. As you can see, you can perform a number of tasks from the boot screen, including booting an existing installation from the hard drive and starting a rescue system. Table 2-2 SUSE Installer Boot Menu Items Select This Item To Do This Boot from Hard Disk Boot the PC from a previously installed operating system from the hard drive. Installation Automatically detect hardware and then begin installing SUSE Linux. Installation Disable support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and ACPI Disabled Power Interface), but otherwise detect hardware and start SUSE installation. Installation Disable potentially troublesome features such as ACPI, APM Safe Settings (Advanced Power Management), and DMA (direct memory access) for IDE interface and start installing SUSE. Select this option if the installation hangs with any of the other options. Manual Installation Control all aspects of installation, including loading device driver modules for your PC s hardware. Rescue System Start a small Linux system in memory so that you can troubleshoot by logging in as root. Memory Test Check to see if there is any problem with the PC s memory. Along the bottom of the SUSE installer boot screen, you see some information about using the function keys F1 through F6. Table 2-3 explains what each of these functions does. You can also provide other installer options as well as Linux kernel options at the Boot Options text box below the boot menu. The installer options control some aspects of the installer s behavior, whereas the kernel options are passed to the Linux kernel that starts when you start the installation. I explain many of these boot options in Chapter 3 of this minibook.
