davidinvestworld

2 computers:
Sis630 Mainboard, PIII 733, 256 M RAM,
Another computer Celeron 600, 128 M RAM

Only one monitor

ADSL Modem

I have 10G files, in 6 hard disks (I totally have 8 hard disks)

5 large hard disks, 6 G, one hard disks 15G

In another location, I have another computer.

I have 4 network adapters in my office.

I use Celeron 600, RAM 128 M, 4.5 G hard disk to install SUSE Linux
Enterprise 10 Desktop

Attach the hard disk, Boot from CD-ROM, install SUSE Linux Enterprise
10 Desktop?

I will use Hard Disk Tool CD first, Attach the hard disk, Boot from CD-
ROM, zero the hard disk.

Then Boot from CD-ROM, install SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Desktop?

Please tell me the details step by step.

Set bios, boot from CD-ROM.

Then?

I too am new to Suse. I found it VERY easy to install. Just put the install
disk in (not the Live DVD) and go. The small problems come when you
configure it.

Hi, I don't think anybody will put energy in answering this. From you ip
address it can be deduced that you are located in china, right?
1. Why suse enterprise and not openSuse?
2. Just install and ask specific questions on problems here.
3. 128MB ram is very low for suse 10; I don't think this is enough unless
you don't need any graphics.

No good. 128MB is not much for Enterprise 10. You can try but expect it
will be slow.

No need unless you have very sensitive information and want to use a
special tool to wipe the disk multiple times.
If you just want to free harddisk space for installation: SUSE setup
asks what harddisk to use and/or create free space first.

Yes, you must set the bios to first boot from cd-rom.

I suggest to run openSUSE 10.2 instead of SUSE Enterprise 10 (desktop).
There is more information here

Agree on the 128meg ram comment. I have 128
in a laptop. When I switched from v2.4
kernel to v2.6 I took a very noticeable speed
hit. Particularly noticeable when Yast has
to run.
