“Users of SuSE Linux 7.0 shouldn’t have to think twice about
upgrading to the newest release of SuSE Linux, version 7.1. SuSE
Linux 7.1 Professional offers ease of use that rivals Mandrake 7.2,
adds excellent configuration options, and–for good measure–tosses
in a vast software catalog.“
“Installation is easier than ever with SuSE’s YaST2 (Yet Another
Setup Tool). SuSE Linux 7.1 also improves on the processes used in
version 7.0 for disk partitioning and initial configuration. We
suggest that you turn off plug and play in your PC’s BIOS before
installing and be sure to back up any disks you’re going to
partition or install onto. In particular, if you’re upgrading to
SuSE 7.1 from version 7.0, be sure to save any special
configuration files in case you encounter problems during the
installation process.”
“Performing a new installation of SuSE 7.1 is easy too, once you
get past the process of configuring partitions for your hard drive.
This procedure has been improved but still requires a working
knowledge of boot sectors and file structures for dual-boot
configurations. Installing onto a clean drive is the easiest
solution.”
