Linux all in one desk reference for dummies phần 2 51 Installing SUSE Linux ✦ Order the latest release of the full distribution from SUSE (www.suse. Book I com) or buy it at a retail computer store. The personal edition of SUSE Chapter 2 Linux 9.1 costs approximately $30 U.S. Installing LinuxIn the following sections, first I go over the steps for performing an FTPinstall, and then I describe the full SUSE install from CDs or a DVD.Performing an FTP installTo install SUSE Linux from one of many FTP servers that mirror the SUSE dis-tribution, you have to perform the following major steps: 1. Download the SUSE boot image from the FTP server and burn a CD with that image. 2. Make a note of the FTP server’s IP address and the directory where the SUSE distribution’s files are located. 3. Boot the PC with the boot CD and then type a command at the boot prompt to begin an FTP install from the FTP server that you identify by its IP address.If you have a PC that runs Windows and has a high-speed Internet connec-tion, you can use that PC to download the boot image and burn the boot CD.You can also use the PC to look up the IP address of the FTP server.You also need to know the name of the network card installed in your PCbecause you have to manually load the driver before you can start the SUSEFTP install. You can find the FTP server’s IP address at the same time whenyou download the SUSE installer’s boot image. I explain the steps in thissection.Installing SUSE from an FTP server can take two hours or more over a typicalbroadband DSL or cable modem connection to the Internet. Follow thesesteps to do an FTP install from an FTP server over the network: 1. Use a Web browser to open the list of FTP servers at www.suse.com/ us/private/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html and find a FTP server near you that’s marked complete (that means the server has the com- plete SUSE distribution and all updates). The list of servers is organized by country and it includes both FTP and HTTP (Web) servers. Go to your nearest country and then pick the near- est server that’s marked complete. If you are performing this step in Microsoft Windows, open a Command Prompt window (choose Start➪Run and type cmd and press Enter) and type ping followed by the name of the FTP server (for example, mirror. mcs.anl.gov). You’ll then see the IP address of the FTP server on the next line (for example, 140.221.9.138). Write down that IP address for use later on.

Click your FTP server link and find the directory that contains the boot.iso file — that’s the SUSE installer’s boot image. The directory depends on the version of SUSE. For example, for version 9.1, the boot.iso file is in the FTP server’s pub/suse/i386/9.1/boot/ directory. The file is about 23MB in size. 3. Download the boot.iso file and save it. 4. Burn the boot.iso image onto a CD. Use your PC’s CD burner application to burn the ISO image named boot.iso. 5. Go to the PC on which you want to do the SUSE FTP install, insert the boot CD, and restart the PC. If your PC isn’t set up to boot from the CD drive, you have to enter SETUP (by pressing a key such as F2 as the PC powers up) and change the order of the boot devices. The PC reboots and after a few moments, a text screen displays a screen with a number of options. Use the arrow keys to move between list items and the buttons on the screen. 6. Use the arrow keys to select the Manual Installation option and press Enter. The installer shows a list of languages. 7. Select the language and press Enter. The installer displays a list of keyboard maps — the language-dependent layouts for the keyboard. 8. Select the keyboard language and press Enter. The installer displays the Main menu. 9. Use the arrow keys to select Kernel Modules (Hardware Drivers) and press Enter. The installer displays a list of choices that includes options to load driver modules as well as view names of loaded modules. 10. Use the arrow keys to select Load Network Card Modules and press Enter. The installer displays a list of network driver modules, organized by the name of the network card. 11. Use the arrow keys to select your network card and press Enter. ...
