A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system with an SSH
client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is mixed with kernel messages
and because the terminal process might quit before you become aware of the message.
Now perform the following steps to complete the installation:
1 Use SSH to log into the Linux system as root. If the connection is denied or
times out, wait a few minutes then try again.
2 Execute the command /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.ssh. yast
does not suffice in this case.
After that, YaST starts to complete the installation of the remaining packages and create
an initial system configuration.
3.10 Configuration
After completing the basic system setup and the installation of all selected software
packages, provide a password for the account of the system administrator (the root
user). You can then configure your Internet access and network connection. With a
working Internet connection, you can perform an update of the system as part of the
installation. You can also configure an authentication server for centralized user admin-
istration in a local network. Finally, configure the hardware devices connected to the
machine.
3.10.1 Hostname
The hostname is the computer's name in the network. The fully qualified domain name,
needed here, includes the name of the domain to which the computer belongs. Each
server and client in the network should have a unique hostname.
If you are located in a local network, you might receive your hostname over DHCP, in
which case you should not modify the name. To receive the hostname over DHCP, select
Change Hostname via DHCP.
