3 Select Installation then press [Enter] to start the installation .
Instead of starting right into the graphical installation routine, the system
continues to run in a text mode, then halts, displaying a message containing
the IP address and port number at which the installer can be reached via a
browser interface or a VNC viewer application.
4 If using a browser to access the installer, launch the browser and enter the
address information provided by the installation routines on the future open-
SUSE machine and hit [Enter]:
http://
ip_address_of_machine
:5801
A dialog opens in the browser window prompting you for the VNC password.
Enter it and proceed with the installation as described in Chapter 1, Installation
with YaST (page 3).
IMPORTANT
Installation via VNC works with any browser under any operating system,
provided Java support is enabled.
Provide the IP address and password to your VNC viewer when prompted. A
window opens, displaying the installation dialogs. Proceed with the installation
as usual.
9.2.7 Only Minimalistic Boot Screen Started
You inserted the medium into the drive, the BIOS routines are nished, but the system
does not start with the graphical boot screen. Instead it launches a very minimalistic
text-based interface. This may happen on any machine not providing sucient
graphics memory for rendering a graphical boot screen.
Although the text boot screen looks minimalistic, it provides nearly the same func-
tionality as the graphical one:
Boot Options
Unlike the graphical interface, the dierent boot options cannot be selected using
the cursor keys of your keyboard. The boot menu of the text mode boot screen
oers some keywords to enter at the boot prompt. These keywords map to the
options oered in the graphical version. Enter your choice and hit [Enter] to launch
the boot process.
Custom Boot Options
After selecting a boot option, enter the appropriate keyword at the boot prompt
or enter some custom boot options as described in Section 9.2.5, “Fails to Boot”
(page 134). To launch the installation process, press [Enter].
