This chapter encompasses all the decisions that need to be made
before installing SUSEŽ Linux Enterprise Server on x86, AMD64, Intel 64, and Itanium
hardware. Find the current
hardware and software requirements for installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
on x86, AMD64, Intel 64, and Itanium in the Architecture-Specific Information
manual, which is contained on the first CD or DVD as a printable PDF in the
/docu directory.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is normally installed as an independent operating system. With the introduction of Xen, it is also possible to run multiple instances of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on the same hardware. However, the controlling Domain-0 installation for Xen is done like a typical installation with some additional packages. The installation of Xen guests is described in Installation and Administration, which is available in the installed system as well as on the first CD or DVD.
