to do a fully automatic or a manual conguration. In this stage, network and Internet
access, as well as hardware components such as printers, are set up.
1.4 System Start-Up for Installation
You can install openSUSE from local installation sources, such as the openSUSE CDs
or DVD, or from network source of an FTP, HTTP, NFS, or SMB server. Any of these
approaches requires physical access to the system to install as well as user interaction
during the installation. The installation procedure is basically the same regardless of
the installation source. Any exceptions are sufciently highlighted in the following
workow description.
1.5 The Boot Screen
The boot screen displays a number of options for the installation procedure. Boot from
Hard Disk boots the installed system and is selected by default, because the CD is often
left in the drive. Select one of the other options with the arrow keys and press Enter to
boot it. The relevant options are:
Installation
The normal installation mode. All modern hardware functions are enabled. In case
the installation fails, see F5Kernel (page 11) for boot options that disable poten-
tially problematic functions.
Rescue System
Starts a minimal Linux system without a graphical user interface. For more infor-
mation, see Section “Using the Rescue System” (Appendix A, Help and Trou-
bleshooting, ↑Start-Up). This option is not available on LiveCDs.
Check Installation Media
This option is only available when you install from media created from downloaded
ISOs. In this case it is recommended to check the integrity of the installation
medium. This option starts the installation system before automatically checking
the media. In case the check was successful, the normal installation routine starts.
If a corrupt media is detected, the installation routine aborts.
