How to Use the SUSE LINUX 9.2 Live CD

1. Download one of the ISO files from the specified Internet address
   and save it on your hard disk. For this you will need about 700 MB
   of storage space for the CDs or 1.3 GB for the DVD.

2. Use a burning application of your choice to burn the ISO file to a
   blank DVD or CD. Select the option that allows burning a CDROM
   image and/or a iso9660 filesystem.

2. Use a burning application of your choice to burn the ISO file on a
   blank CD/DVD.

3. Insert the CD/DVD in your CD or DVD drive and reboot the
   machine. In contrast to a system installed on the hard disk, the
   live CD consumes a lot of memory.  Therefore, at least 384 MB RAM
   are needed for the smooth operation of the live CD.

4. SUSE LINUX 9.2 will boot directly from the live CD without
   modifying your hard disk.  You can type "F4" function at the boot
   prompt to change the language, the current setting is displayed
   next to the "F4" at the bottom line (default is English).

5. The default user is called "linux" and has no password (NIS users
   may work also).  Live DVD only: login as this user and choose the
   desktop you want to run under.

6. Test your new SUSE LINUX and take a look at the office, e-mail,
   Internet, photograph management, and other applications. Use a device
   such as a memory stick for saving files.

7. Impressed? Then visit the SUSE home page and order your full
   version with detailed documentation and free installation support.
