Deploying Deep Freeze
Installation and configuration of Deep Freeze Linux requires administrative access. Installs, uninstalls,
and configuration changes require a restart to take effect.
Deep Freeze Linux is distributed on a CD-ROM in a media package, or as a downloadable file via the
Internet.

Upon completion of a successful installation and after the computer has been restarted, Deep Freeze
is automatically configured to put all partitions into a Frozen state. Partitions that are to be put in a
Thawed state can be specified after the install.
Alternatively, Deep Freeze Linux can be installed using YaST. Refer to the YaST documentation for
instructions on how to do this.
After installation has completed, the Deep Freeze Linux application (dfl) will be installed in /opt/dfl
