Installing OpenSUSE 11.3 KDE from the DVD

If you're not sure what version you need, download the 32 bit version as it will work on 64 or 32 bit systems.

download OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 version

download OpenSUSE 11.3 32 bit version

Next, highlight Installation and hit the enter key, that should cause the Loading Linux Kernel to pop up.

After you hit the Next button OpenSUSE will probe your system to see what hardware you're using.

If OpenSUSE detects an old version you will have an option to upgrade it. Select what you want to do and hit next.

I would recommend partition based as it's simpler.

If the password you enter is weak you will get a warning. If the machine you're setting up is critical you may want to use a more secure password.

Review your installation settings and click on the Install button.
