1.5 System Analysis<br />

Select New installation or Update an existing system. Updating is only possible if a<br />

<strong>SUSE</strong> Linux system is already installed. When a <strong>SUSE</strong> Linux system is already installed,<br />

use Other to access two advanced options: boot the installed system with Boot installed<br />

system or, if the installed system fails to boot, you can try to fix the problem with Repair<br />

installed system. If no <strong>SUSE</strong> Linux system is installed, you can only perform a new<br />

installation.<br />

The following sections describe the procedure <strong>of</strong> installing a new system. Find detailed<br />

instructions for a system update in Section 2.3.7, “Updating the System” (page 41).<br />

Find a description <strong>of</strong> the system repair options in Section “Using YaST System Repair”<br />

When finished, click Next to continue the installation.<br />
