F5 Driver
Press this key to tell the system that you have an optional disk with a driver update
for SUSE Linux Enterprise. With File, load drivers directly from CD before the
installation starts. If you select Yes, you are prompted to insert the update disk at
the appropriate point in the installation process. The default option is No—not to
load a driver update.
After starting the installation, SUSE Linux Enterprise loads and configures a minimal
Linux system to run the installation procedure. To view the boot messages and copyright
notices during this process, press Esc . On completion of this process, the YaST installa-
tion program starts and displays the graphical installer.
