Select "New installation". Both other options will abort the SLRS instal-
lation. Option "Boot installed system" will try to boot an OS from the
primary hard disk drive.
Expert: Click the headline Partitioning to change the YaST default set-
tings. Furthermore please note, that in some cases YaST will not delete ex-
isting partitions. Herefore select the option "Create custom partition setup".
For further information refer to the SUSE LINUX documentation.
Click the headline Software to change the Installation Settings and select
one of the two possibilities:
– Minimum system
– Minimum graphical system (without KDE)
For example, select "Minimum graphical system (without KDE)" (recom-
mended).
Click "Detailed selection..." and change the following items:
– Select "SLRS POS/Retail Branch and Admin server Minimum System"
– Select "YaST2 config modules" (recommended, it provides online
update services and easy-to-use configuration programs through
YaST2)
Accept your selection.
Note: If you have selected the "Minimum system" instead of the "Minimum
graphical system", as the base system, you will be asked to resolve a depen-
dency for the GL graphics subsystem when you add the "SLRS POS/Retail
Branch and Admin server Minimum System" selection - it is recommended
to select the "mesasoft" package here.
Accept your Installation Settings and start the installation.
After rebooting the system, YaST2 starts again and you are prompted to
set the password for root.
Skip "Add a new user" and confirm the question about the network client
with "Yes".
Confirm the proposal for the display resolution parameters.
Ignore the Printers headline warning: "The print spooler is not installed
properly. ERROR: No proposal."
Click the headline Network interfaces when prompted and configure the
network interface, for example, eth0. Enter the IP address, such as
