where most users encounter problems because of differences

installing Linux versus Windows. This chapter demystifies the

The program used to install SUSE Linux is known as YaST,
which stands for Yet another System Tool. (The “Yet
another . . .” naming convention is a standard Unix/Linux
naming convention, intended to reflect humorously on the
number of similar tools that different people and companies
have developed to do specific tasks in their favorite, cus-
tomized fashion. YaST provides a framework that supports
independent modules that perform a variety of administrative
tasks, including modules for installation, all system adminis-
tration and configuration tasks, and subsequent system
updates. The YaST interface that you use for installation is
therefore very similar to the interfaces that you will use for
system configuration and administrative tasks when you have
completed your SUSE Linux installation. Powerful and well
designed, YaST will quickly become your friend.

Selecting Your Installation Method
You can install SUSE in numerous ways. Different installation
methods are useful in different circumstances. The most com-
mon and recommended installation method is to use the
installation media provided with the boxed SUSE Linux prod-
uct. This book focuses on installing SUSE Linux 10 through the
CDs provided with the SUSE Linux product. Installing SUSE
Linux using the DVD that is also provided in the boxed SUSE
product follows essentially the same process, but with the
added bonus of not having to switch CDs.
