New Local User
In addition to the user created in part one of the installation, you can create an additional
user in this dialog. To create more users, manage groups, modify defaults for new users
and set up network authentication, launch the User Management. Refer to
Managing Users with YaST
To skip this step, just click Next without entering any data.

Release Notes

After completing the user authentication setup, YaST displays the release notes. Reading
them is recommended, because they contain important up-to-date information which
was not available when the manuals were printed. If you successfully tested the Internet
connection, read the most recent version of the release notes, as fetched from SUSE
Linux Enterprise Desktop's servers. Use Miscellaneous > Release Notes in YaST or
start the SUSE Help Center to view the release notes after installation.

Hardware Configuration

At the end of the installation, YaST opens a dialog for the configuration of the graphics
card and other hardware components connected to the system, such as printers or sound
cards. Click the individual components to start the hardware configuration. For the most
part, YaST detects and configures the devices automatically.
You can skip any peripheral devices and configure them later, as described in
Setting Up Hardware Components with YaST
select Skip Configuration and click Next.
However, when setting up a desktop system you should configure the graphics card
right away. Although the display settings as configured by YaST should be generally
acceptable, most users have very strong preferences as far as resolution, color depth,
and other graphics features are concerned. To change these settings, select the respective
item and set the values as desired.
TIP: Resetting Hardware Configuration to the Default Values
You can cancel any changes to the hardware configuration by clicking Change
> Reset to Defaults. YaST then shows the original proposal again.
