README on SuSE Linux 6.4 2000/03/09
This file contains some pieces of information that were not
available by time of going to press of our manual. Please read
it thoroughly.
Installation
============
If you are installing SuSE Linux for the first time, please do take a look
at the manual. If you don't have the manual available, a copy can be found
in the /docu directory on the first CD in various formats :
book-en.pdf PDF format
ascci/suselxen ASCII format
!! Important: Please read the section about partitioning; !!
!! if not, you risk loosing data ... !!
The Linux installation is started from a running Linux system.
You can either boot directly from CD (if this is supported by
your BIOS), or start Linux from DOS (by invoking setup.exe on the
root directory on the first CD), or use the shipped boot-disk.
You may create your own set of boot-disk(s) if you encounter any
problems with suse-boot-disk. The program setup.exe helps you
creating these disk(s). If there is already a Linux up and
running on your system you may of course create these disk(s)
with Linux.
If the first CD is mounted to /cdrom you can create the necessary
disk(s) by entering:
dd if=/cdrom/disks/eide01 of=/dev/fd0
Hints on which disk to use in combination whith your hardware may
be found on file in /cdrom/disks/README as well as in our
manual.
Libz
====
Libz has been moved into another package. Therefore when updating
a system containing libz you might see a warning during the
update procedure. You can safely ignore this warning.
Have a lot of fun...
Your SuSE Team
