1.12.5 Time Zone
Adjust time zone and clock settings here. Provided a network is congured, you can
also set up a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client that automatically synchronizes
your computer with a time server. This is the same conguration as shown earlier
in Section 1.8, “Clock and Time Zone” (page 12).
1.12.6 User Settings
Change the current User settings and change or set the Root Password here. This is
the same conguration as shown earlier in Section 1.11, “Create New User” (page 17).
1.12.7 Default Runlevel
openSUSE can boot to dierent runlevels. Normally, there should be no need to
change anything here, but if necessary set the default runlevel with this dialog. Refer
to Section “Conguring System Services (Runlevel) with YaST” (Chapter 16, Booting
and Conguring a Linux System, ↑Reference) for more information about runlevel
conguration.
1.12.8 System
This dialog presents all the hardware information YaST could obtain about your
computer. When called, the hardware detection routine is started. Depending on
your system, this may take some time. Select any item in the list and click Details
to see detailed information about the selected item. Use Save to File to save a detailed
list to either the local le system or a oppy. Advanced users can also change the
PCI ID setup and Kernel Settings by choosing Kernel Settings.
1.12.9 Installation from Images
Installing from images considerably speeds up the installation. Images contain
compressed snapshots of installed systems matching your selection of patterns.
Packages not contained in the images deployed will be installed conventionally.
Unless your custom software selection does not match any of the available images,
this feature is Enabled by default. In case of problems, Disable it for debugging pur-
poses.
