“Instead, when a release of OpenSuSE hits the pipes, you can be
sure that what you are downloading is a well-tested, solid,
trouble-free release.“And like most popular Linux distributions, OpenSuSE offers a
Live CD. Most everyone can stick in a CD, boot it, play around with
it, and double click the “Install” icon. But what about the
full-blown, standard installation DVD? Is that more difficult than
the Live CD? I’m glad you asked, because in this tutorial I am
going to walk you through the installation (complete with pictures)
of OpenSuSE 11.2.“It should go without saying that the first step is to download
the ISO image, burn it to disk, put it in the DVD drive, and boot
your machine. Once you have taken care of that you are on your way
to installation Nirvana. I say that, not necessarily because the
installation is the simplest installation you will encounter, but
more because it is the cleanest and well thought out installation
you might see.”
