A few seconds after starting the installation, <strong>SUSE</strong> Linux loads a minimal Linux system<br />

to run the installation procedure. If you want to know what is going on during the boot<br />

process, press Esc to see messages and copyright notices scroll by. At the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />

automatically. In this case, use the keyboard for the time being. Navigation with the<br />

keyboard is similar to the description in Section 2.11.1, “Navigation in Modules”<br />

1.3 Language Selection<br />

YaST and <strong>SUSE</strong> Linux in general can be configured to use different languages according<br />

settings can be modified later along with the selection <strong>of</strong> secondary languages to install<br />

and press Tab until Next is highlighted. Then press Enter to confirm your language<br />

selection.<br />
