SuSE Linux 7.3 Installation Guidelines
The easiest method of installing SuSE Linux 7.3 in a virtual machine is to use the
standard SuSE distribution CDs. The notes below describe an installation using the
standard distribution CD; however, installing SuSE Linux 7.3 via the boot floppy/
network method is supported as well.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have created a new virtual
machine and configured it using the ESX Server Virtual Machine Wizard.
Note: Note: You should not run the X server that is installed when you set up SuSE
7.3. Instead, to get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual machine,
install the VMware Tools package immediately after installing SuSE Linux 7.3.
SuSE Linux 7.3 Installation Steps
1. Use the VMware Management Interface to verify the virtual machine’s devices
are set up as you expect before starting the installation. For example, if you
would like networking software to be installed during the SuSE Linux 7.3
installation process, be sure the virtual machine's Ethernet adapter is enabled
and configured.
If you plan to install the guest operating system from a physical CD-ROM disc, be
sure the CD-ROM drive is connected to the virtual machine.
2. Insert the SuSE Linux 7.3 installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and click the Power
On button. The virtual machine should start booting from the CD and the
installation process begins.
Installation is faster with the text-mode installer. Press F2 to select it.
3. Follow the installation steps as you would for a physical machine
4. Part way through the installation, the installer reboots the virtual machine.
5. At the Desktop Settings screen, select 640x480 256 colors. After you install
VMware Tools in a later step, you can change your screen resolution and number
of colors to any settings you wish.
6. At the Configure Monitor screen, choose any monitor. You must choose some
monitor so the installer will install a required package.
7. At the Desktop Settings screen, select Text mode only.
8. Finish installing SuSE Linux 7.3 as you would on a physical machine. At the end of
the installation, boot again using the default LILO selection of linux.
9. Log in to the guest operating system as root.
