Book I Chapter 2 Installing Linux Installing SUSE Linux 55 Table 2-3 Using Function Keys at the SUSE Installer Boot Screen Press This To Do This Function Key F1 Get context-sensitive help help information that depends on the currently selected item. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to read the Help screen and the left- and right-arrow keys to jump between topics. You can dismiss the Help screen by pressing Escape. F2 Select a screen resolution that you want the YaST installer to use for its GUI. If the GUI screen fails to appear, you can select Text Mode for a text mode interface. F3 Select the source from where you want to install. The choices are: CD or DVD, network sources with different protocols such as FTP, HTTP, NFS, and SLP (Service Location Protocol). F4 Select the language and keyboard mapping to be used by the boot loader. F5 View kernel messages as the Linux kernel loads. This could help you identify problems if the installation hangs. F6 Update a driver module for new hardware for which drivers may not be on the CD or DVD. You will be prompted to insert the updated driver module on a floppy or CD-ROM after you start the installation. The installer initially picks a rather high screen resolution for the GUI screen (typically, 1280 x 1024 pixels). You should press F2, which brings up a menu from which you can select a more reasonable screen resolution, such as 1024 x 768 pixels. After setting the screen resolution by pressing F2, select Installation from the boot menu and press Enter. This loads the Linux kernel from the DVD and the Linux kernel starts running the YaST installation program. For the rest of the installation, you work with YaST s GUI screens. If you run into any problems during the installation, turn to Chapter 3 of this minibook. That chapter shows how to troubleshoot common installation problems. Starting the SUSE install in YaST YaST the SUSE installer displays a GUI screen (see Figure 2-8) from which you install SUSE Linux on your PC s hard drive and configure it. The left-hand side of the YaST screen shows the list of installation steps, organized into two broad categories of tasks Base Installation and Configuration. An arrow marks the current step. For example, in Figure 2-8, the arrow marks the language selection step. After the step is complete, YaST displays a check mark next to the step.
