If everything works fine, then press Next and you will get the screen for

selecting the number of packages to be installed.

Choosing the type of installation: A default installation is preferred as

it comes with almost all the basic utilities and occupies around 500MB

space. A minimal installation will cost you around 150MB and restricts you

to the basic required things only. An 'Almost Everything' Installation

requires around 1.5GB space.

Installing LILO (LInux LOader): LILO gives you a variety of options as to

where it should install it's bootable content. Out of the variety of

options available, the first option is most viable. However do remember,

that LILO does not provide you with the option "default OS to Boot". So

if you're dual booting then by default you will find your self booting

into Linux. You need to set it up manually to Windows (default is

SuSE) which I will do after the installation is done.

Dual Booting: Theoretically LILO can boot into any system. The LILO

screen gives 5 options, as to in what way it should be installed in the system.

Boot Disk ('MBR'): This option loads LILO in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of

the system. This means that whenever you start your PC, LILO will ask you two

options as to what system it should boot into. The default is Suse 6.4. If you

want to boot into Windows, just type Windows at the LILO prompt and it will

boot into the same. Press tab to get a list of the OS' that you can boot

into.

Boot Floppy: Much similar to the Windows Start Up Disk, a bootable

floppy makes your system boot into Windows whenever you insert the floppy.

This is a good option to select as whenever one re-installs Windows, the

MBR is modified and one option is booting into Linux is through the

bootable floppy. By default, LILO loads into SuSE 6.4. If you want to load

Windows by default, then after booting into Linux and logging in as root ,

type lilo -D windows . The lilo.conf file is located in the /etc directory

and is self explanatory. It contains a list of the different operating

systems installed on the system.

Personal Information: Under Linux you should create a regular user with

non-root privileges. This is the account you should be using in Linux. Do

not login as root and there is too much power in that account. Logging in

as a regular user prevents you from damaging your setup. Just enter the
