"openSUSE Linux Unleashed"


If you open the Software page, you??™ll see packages organized by function, in what
openSUSE calls ???patterns.??? To turn your openSUSE box into a free software development
engine, check the Development pattern (or some subset of it). Deciding to install something
is just a matter of checking a box from the thousands of individual programs
included in your openSUSE Linux DVD.
Click Accept when you are ready to install the base system. Depending on the software
packages you selected, you may have to view and accept other license agreements for
certain applications (for example, the Adobe Flash player).
CAUTION
YaST will also warn you that it is formatting a partition and that any data on that partition
will be destroyed. This gives you one more chance to turn back in case you have
data on your computer that you want to preserve. Click Install to begin the process.

YaST formats the designated partition for the data drive and the swap partition and then
begins installing the operating system and the designated software packages. Depending
on the amount of software to be installed and the speed of your processor and CD drive,
the time it takes to do this will vary.
