Choose this medium option for a rst look at openSUSE. The LiveCD version runs
on your computer using RAM without touching your hard drive and no installation
is needed. However, you can also install openSUSE from the running live system.
There is no network connection required beyond the mere downloading of the
medium.
TIP: Booting the LiveCD from an USB Stick
Live CD iso images can also be used as boot images for USB sticks. Create a
bootable USB stick by using the command-line program dd with the following
syntax:
dd if=
ISO_IMAGE
of=
USB_STICK_DEVICE
bs=4M
dd is available on Linux and MacOS by default. A Microsoft Windows* version
can be downloaded from http://www.chrysocome.net/dd.
Warning: Using this dd command will erase all data on the USB device!
Mini CD
The Mini CD contains the minimal Linux system needed to run the installation.
The installation system itself and the installation data are loaded from a network
source. To install from a network providing SLP, please start the installation as
described in Section 1.2.1, “Installing from a Network Server Using SLP (page 6).
To install from a HTTP, FTP, NFS, or SMB server, follow the instructions in Sec-
tion 1.2.2, “Installing from a Network Source without SLP” (page 6).
IMPORTANT: Add-On CDs—Installing Additional Software
Although add-on CDs (extensions or third-party products) cannot be used as stand-
alone installation media, they can be embedded as additional software sources
during the installation. Currently CDs with additional languages are available as
add-on CDs for openSUSE.
1.2 Choosing the Installation Method
After having selected the installation medium, determine the suitable installation
method and boot option that best matches your needs:
Installing from the openSUSE Media
Choose this option if you want to perform a stand-alone installation and do not
want to rely on a network to provide the installation data or the boot infrastructure.
The installation proceeds exactly as outlined in Section 1.3, “The Installation
Workow” (page 7).
Installing from the LiveCD
In order to install from a LiveCD, boot the live system from CD. In the running
system, launch the installation routine by clicking on the Install icon on the
desktop. Phase one of the installation will be carried out in a window on the
