In the Installation Settings screen, adjust the settings according to your requirements.

You can usually leave the default settings untouched, but if you intend to enhance your system, select the packages offered in the Update Options submenu or add support for additional languages.

You can also make backups of various system components. Selecting backups slows down the update process. Use this option if you do not have a recent system backup.

When you have finished configuring the installation settings, click Accept.

After completing the basic system setup and the installation of all selected software packages, the installation boots into the updated Linux system, after which you can configure the hardware and set up system services.

If you are updating from CD, leave CD 1 in your CD-ROM drive during the reboot and do not select any installation options, but Boot from Hard Disk. When the reboot is finished, the installation continues and you are prompted to insert the remaining CDs.

To test your Internet connection, click Yes, Test Connection to the Internet + Next.

This option also checks for the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop release notes. If you do not want to test the connection at this point (or check for updated release notes), click No, Skip This Test+Next, then continue with Step 13.

On the Running Internet Connection Test screen, view the results of the test, then click Next to continue.

On the Novell Customer Center Configuration screen, click Configure Now+Next to enable your system for online updates.
