Start OpenSUSE installer

After the operating system boots you should be greeted by a screen like the one below. Click the “CLOSE” button to get to the desktop.

Once in the OpenSUSE desktop double click the “Live Installer” icon in the upper left corner of the desktop.

If you have less than 1 GB of memory installed in the system you will get a warning like the one below. Just click “Continue”, I performed the installation with 512 MB of RAM and it worked great.

Select your language and keyboard layout and then hit “Next”.

Select your region and time zone. If the “Time and Date” aren’t correct for you try check marking “Hardware Clock Set To UTC”.

Click on the “Create Partition Setup…” button.

Select the hard drive you would like to install OpenSUSE on.

Make sure “Propose Separate Home Partition” is unchecked. Also, make sure to check mark “Create LVM Based Proposal”.

Review the partitioning layout and then click “Next”.

Fill out all of the text fields and check mark any desired options. 

Review the live installation settings and then click the “Install” button.

Click the “Install” button to start the installation.

Once the installation is done click “OK” to return to the live CD desktop.

Go to the bottom left of the screen and click on the “Computer” button. Then click on “Shutdown”.

Click on “Restart”, once the computer restarts make sure to remove the CD or DVD from the drive to keep from booting back into the OpenSUSE Live CD.
