- README on SuSE Linux (Evaluation Version)
- =============================================
-
-
- Welcome :)
-
-
- This version of our Linux distribution that has been specially
- designed for evaluation is more or less the same as our Linux
- !Snapshot distribution.
-
- >> Please be aware that we do not offer any <<
- >> kind of support for this (Evaluation) version <<
-
-
- Obviously this distribution is not as extensive as our "official"
- distribution. This is only one CD in comparison to 6 CDs that
- come with the "official" SuSE Linux :-).
-
- So, if you like to have a glimpse at our "official" distribution
- feel free to have a look at
-
- http://www.suse.de
-
- or install susepake.rpm which is located under /unsorted.
-
- The sources of the packages can be found on ftp.suse.com.
-
- More information can be gathered from the following README of
- SuSE Linux 7.0. Most of it should also apply for this
- version.
-
- Have a lot of fun...
-
- Your SuSE Team

- README on SuSE Linux 7.0 2000/07/24
-
- This file contains some pieces of information that were not
- available by time of going to press of our manual. Please read
- it thoroughly.
-
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- If you are installing SuSE Linux for the first time, please do take a look
- at the manual. If you don't have the manual available, a copy can be found
- in the /docu directory on the first CD in various formats :
-
- book-en.pdf PDF format
- ascci/suselxen ASCII format
-
-
-
- !! Important: Please read the section about partitioning; !!
- !! if not, you risk loosing data ... !!
-
- The Linux installation is started from a running Linux system.
- You can either boot directly from CD (if this is supported by
- your BIOS), or start Linux from DOS (by invoking setup.exe on the
- root directory on the first CD), or use the shipped boot-disk.
- You may create your own set of boot-disk(s) if you encounter any
- problems with suse-boot-disk. The program setup.exe helps you
- creating these disk(s). If there is already a Linux up and
- running on your system you may of course create these disk(s)
- with Linux.
-
- If the first CD is mounted to /cdrom you can create the necessary
- disk(s) by entering:
-
- dd if=/cdrom/disks/bootdisk of=/dev/fd0
-
- Hints on which disk to use in combination whith your hardware may
- be found on file in /cdrom/disks/README as well as in our
- manual.

- Libz
- ====
-
- Libz has been moved into another package. Therefore when updating
- a system containing libz you might see a warning during the
- update procedure. You can safely ignore this warning.

- Have a lot of fun...
