Installing with the openSUSE 12.1
Installer from Windows
openSUSE 12.1 Installer is a Microsoft Windows application that prepares
your computer to directly boot into the openSUSE installation without having to adjust
BIOS settings. It is only available on DVD media. To use the installer, insert the
openSUSE media under Windows. The openSUSE 12.1 Installer setup automati-
cally starts (if not, run openSUSE11_2_LOCAL.exe from the DVD). Choose a
language for the installation and follow the instructions on the screen. The language
you choose here is also precongured to be used for the openSUSE installation.
On the next reboot, the Microsoft Windows boot loader launches. Choose openSUSE
12.1 Installer to start the openSUSE installation. In order to proceed with the installation,
you will be prompted to insert the installation media. The installation proceeds as de-
scribed below. When Microsoft Windows is booted again, openSUSE 12.1
Installer is automatically uninstalled.
TIP: Installing openSUSE alongside Microsoft Windows
openSUSE can easily be installed alongside Microsoft Windows. Carry out the
installation as described below—an existing Windows installation will automat-

the whole installation disk, the installation routine will make a proposal to
shrink an existing Windows partition in order to make room for the openSUSE.
Please read Section 1.10.1.1, “Resizing a Windows Partition” (page 19) prior to
the installation for detailed information.

conguration. During the preparation phase you congure some basic parameters such
as language, time, desktop type, users, passwords, hard disk setup and installation scope.
In the non-interactive installation phase the software is installed and the system is pre-
pared for the rst boot. Upon nishing the installation the machine reboots into the
newly installed system and starts the nal system conguration. You can choose whether
