After making all installation settings, click Install
in the Installation Settings window to start the installation. In the
dialog that opens, confirm with Install again. Some
software may require a license confirmation. If your software selection
includes such software, license confirmation dialogs are displayed. Click
Accept to install the software. When not agreeing to
the license, click I Disagree and the software will
not be installed.
The installation usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on
the system performance and the selected software scope. After having
prepared the hard disk, having saved and restored the user settings, and
having deployed the installation images, the software installation
starts. During this procedure a slide show introduces the features of
openSUSE. Choose Details to switch to the
installation log or Release Notes to read important
up-to-date information which was not available when the manuals were
printed.
NOTE: Release Notes
The release notes that can be viewed during this step are the ones
printed on the installation CD. A newer version may be available on the
Internet. When manually configuring network and Internet access as
described in Network Configuration, the
latest version of the release notes will be displayed at the end of the
installation.
After the software installation has completed, the basic system is set
up. Among others, Finishing the Basic Installation
includes installing the boot manager, initializing fonts and more. Next
YaST boots into the new Linux system, where you can configure the
hardware and set up system services.
HINT: Existing SSH Host Keys
If you install openSUSE on a machine with existing Linux installations,
the installation routine automatically imports the SSH host key with the
most recent access time from an existing installation.
