Installation With Yast; Choosing The Installation Method - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 - DEPLOYMENT GUIDE 17-03-2009 Deployment Manual

Installation with YaST

Install your SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop system with YaST, the central tool for
installation and configuration of your system. YaST guides you through the installation
process and the basic configuration of your system. During the installation and configu-
ration process, YaST analyzes both your current system settings and your hardware
components and proposes installation settings based on this analysis. By default, YaST
displays an overview of all installation steps on the left hand side of the window and
provides online help texts for each step. Click Help to view the help text.
If you are a first-time user of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, you might want to follow
the default YaST proposals in most parts, but you can also adjust the settings as described
here to fine-tune your system according to your needs and wishes. Many parts of the
basic system configuration, such as user accounts or system language, can also be
modified after the installation process.
