Instalasi Linux Suse 9.3

Requirements

To install such a system you will need the following:

SUSE 9.3. I downloaded the 5 CD iso images from here: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/9.3/iso/
an internet connection...

1 The Base System

Boot from your first SUSE 9.3-CD and select Installation from the boot screen:

Accept the license:

The SUSE installer (called YaST - Yet another Setup Tool) starts.

Select your language:

Skip the media check:

The installer analyzes your system and makes some automatic installation decicions which it lists on the following screen (Installation Settings). You can change each of its choices by navigating to the appropriate headline. First, I change the keyboard layout (I don't have an English (US) keyboard...):

I select my new keyboard layout and click on Accept:

Then I want to have a look at the partitioning. You can accept YaST's proposal or create your own partitions. In this case, I accept YaST's proposal. For my purposes one big /-partition and a swap partition are a good choice:

Next, I adjust the time zone:

Back on the Installation Settings screen, you can also choose the software you want to install if you know what you are doing. In this example, I will leave YaST's package choice unchanged. I will install the software I need to run a web/email/ftp server manually after the base installation has finished. So we click onAccept as we're done here:
