Let's go ahead and go up to a normal installation though and we press enter. Now you're going to hear my CD-Rom spin up in the background as we load the Linux kernel, which is the minimal system to get us started in the installation. And sometimes this can take a few moments before we get the installation going. One thing I want to point out is we're installing into a virtual machine for the purposes of this demonstration so that we can record the screen for you. If this were an actual physical machine, the installation would likely go a lot faster. Now, in this screen you can see the little status bar clicking along there and it's going kind of slow. Again, this would go a little bit faster if it were a physical machine. You don't have to, but if you like you can press escape and you'll see openSUSE detect hardware and get the system started. So let's go ahead and do that just to see what it's doing behind the scenes here. We can see that it's loading drivers for hardware. It's detecting hardware and it's loading drivers. Windows XP and Windows Vista also do this. It's just that it does it in the background and you don't see it and again, once it's done, we'll boot into the graphical installation program. We could use the graphical installation program or we could choose to use a command-line installation system. We'll go ahead and use the graphical one for the purposes of this demonstration. And we're about to start YAS, which is the default tool in openSUSE that will configure, uh, hardware services and so forth in openSUSE, booting into the graphical installation program. Now, as you can see, it's going to probe for hardware once again and if you look on the left of the screen, you'll see basically the stage of installation that openSUSE is at and usually in the middle of the screen is where, oh, the information on what's going on during this particular phase appears. The first thing we get is a media check. We can choose to check our CD-Rom and make sure that, uh, there's no problems with it because if there are, that will result in bad files being copied over during installation or perhaps a failed installation. We're going to go ahead and skip this and it's worthy to note that if you buy your DVD in the box set that comes from Novell, you won't get this screen because it's assuming that the DVD is good. So we're going to click next and move on. Now, we have a license agreement, of course, that we need to agree to. We can select the language for the license agreement up there at the top of the screen. Clicking next, let's continue. It's going to probe the system once again and look for different controllers and devices. It's going to see if there's any Linux partitions on there, uh, that it could possibly upgrade. Because this is a new installation, there aren't any. If this, uh, were an upgrade installation, uh, and it found other Linuxes on the system, we would get an update option or even other options. We also do have two options down here that you can check before installation and that's to add on-line repositories before installation. Basically that means it will check, uh, online if it can get to the Internet to see if there's any additional software programs on there. This is rather time consuming, by the way and you can do it after installation so we're going to uncheck this box for the sake of time. We could also include add-on products if we had another CD-Rom that had say the non-open source software that you can download from, uh, Novell and add with this. I'm going to check that at this time. We're going to say next. And it's going to initialize this repositories and determine what software it needs to install. It gets this right off the CD-Rom. Again, again this is a, uh, GNOME installation we're going to do. Sometimes this can take a little bit of time. Now, we're going to get, uh, the option to, uh, configure the clock and time zone. I'm in USA in central time. We can also choose to set the clock to local time or UTC. I usually prefer to go to local time. And then we're going to say next. Then it's going to look at our installation settings before it performs the installation. During this part of the installation, we have the opportunity to make some changes, uh, if we don't like the way it's going to install, such as partitioning, software selection and locale settings and so forth. As you can see, it's generated a list of software it's going to install and it knows that I want the, uh, keyboard layout and the language as US English. I could change any of these things if I want to by hitting this button; the change button. I can change the, uh, partitioning if I like. I can switch over to expert and change some other things as well. Some of the same things. But I can go back and change some of the things I already selected such as the language and the time zone. We can also change the run level here and we'll talk about run levels later on in the course. But basically, it determines how the system initially starts and what's loaded on startup. Let's go ahead and click the overview tab again. We're going to accept this and then it's going to confirm the installation. It's going to tell us that it has all the information it needs and that the hard disk is going to be formatted. Let's go ahead and click install and we see that it's going to create some partitions for us based upon the, uh, settings that we dictated or that it determined automatically that it needed. Again, we could have changed those if we liked. And once it does that it's going to mount devices. And now finally it's going to install software. As you can see, it's going to install, uh, a lot of software; right about one and one-half gig worth of software and while, uh, while it's doing that it could take time. It could take a few minutes and while it's doing that we can watch the, uh, slideshow, which essentially, uh, outlines the features of openSUSE, tells us what a great operating system it is. Or we could look at the details and the details basically would tell us, uh, the progress, would give us the progress of installing the software; what's installing and so forth and sometimes this can go by pretty fast so you may not get to read most of it. You can also read the release notes at this time. Let's go ahead and click back to the slideshow. This is going to conclude the first part of our demonstration. Uh, as this installs, we're going to pick back up when it's more closer to the middle of the installation. After it installs this, uh, this software, so we'll pick back up here again here in a moment.
