This article mainly introduces the OpenSUSE CD installation example analysis, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let Xiaobian take you to understand.

This HOWTO guides you on how to install / upgrade an openSUSE system using the downloaded openSUSEDVDiso image. If you are using LiveCD, please refer to USB disk to install Hybrid_ISO

When you do not want to burn DVD CD to install / upgrade openSUSE, you can install / upgrade openSUSE in the same way as this HOWTO.

OpenSUSE CD installation preparation:

Know how to partition a new ext2/ext3 partition

Know how to use grub to boot the system

Next, the OpenSUSE CD installer this HOWTO describes step by step the process of installing openSUSE using the iso image as an example. According to the structure of your system, you can compare with the method of this HOWTO to get the method of installing your openSUSE. It is recommended that you repartition your system into a partition in ext2/ext3 format (in this case, it refers to the traditional partition, excluding the LVM logical volume), dedicated to storing the iso image, so that the installation will be more successful.

5.1WindowsXP&NTFS environment

5.2 I don't have linux installed, how can I create a new ext2/ext3 partition?

Put the iso image on a newly partitioned ext2/ext3 partition

Give your iso image a simple name (such as openSUSE.iso) to make it easier for you to specify your installation directory during installation.

Suppose the device name of our ext2/ext3 partition is / dev/sda7,openSUSE.iso and is stored in the root directory of that partition.

Preparation before guidance

Extract the kernel and initrd needed to boot from the iso. File location:

OpenSUSE.iso/boot/x86_64/loader/linux

OpenSUSE.iso/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd

Place linux,initrd2 files in the / dev/sda7 root directory

OpenSUSE CD installation Boot from grub into the installation Environment

1. Enter grub

If you are upgrading on an existing openSUSE system, press the ESC key when grub starts, exit gfxboot and enter the normal grub interface

If you only have windows on your computer, you can use grub4dos, a derivative of grub.

two。 After entering the grub interface, press the c key to enter the grub command line

3. Boot installation environment

Root (hd0,6)

Kernel/linuxvga=791

Initrd/initrd

Boot

Indicates that hd0,6 is the corresponding / dev/sda7 in this HOWTO. Vga=791 corresponds to framebuffer1024x768@16bpp. Please modify the corresponding value according to the structure of your system. If it cannot be started, you can try to add the kernel parameter devfs=mount,dall (kernel/linuxvga=791devfs=mount,dall).

Specify the iso location during installation

Zone: sda7

Directory: / openSUSE.iso

If the prompt cannot be found, you have specified the wrong partition and directory.

Supplement

WindowsXP&NTFS environment

OpenSUSE provides an installer (openSUSE.iso/openSUSE11.x_LOCAL.exe), and after you run it, an option to install openSUSE appears in the Windows startup menu, and you can also enter the openSUSE installation environment from there. In fact, if you put the image on the NTFS partition, there will be a series of troubles.

You can refer to the following documentation to learn how to install through ISO on the NTFS partition:

OpenSUSE_11_0_NTFS partition hard disk installation

I don't have linux installed, how can I create a new ext2/ext3 partition?

If you have any version of InstallDVD of openSUSE, you only need to boot on CD and select rescuesystem on the startup menu to enter the linux command line. The system provides fdisk (Partition tool) and mkfs.ext3 (formatting tool).

Slax and other linux systems that can be installed on USB drives, and LiveCD of various linux distributions will also provide you with the tools you need.

If you don't mind the trouble, you can operate the physical hard disk directly by VMwareWorkstation virtual machine software under Windows, load openSUSE image-> VMware virtual machine CD boot-> enter rescue mode-> partition, format, copy iso image to the new partition
