14 Start-Up<br />

The first bar graph shows how much disk space is currently occupied by Windows and<br />

how much space is still available. The second bar graph shows how the space would<br />

be distributed after the resizing, according to YaST's current proposal. See Figure 1.3,<br />

“Resizing the Windows Partition” (page 13). Accept the proposed settings or use the<br />

slider to change the partition sizing (within certain limits).<br />

If you leave this dialog by selecting Next, the settings are stored and you are returned<br />

to the previous dialog. The actual resizing takes place later, before the hard disk is formatted.<br />

IMPORTANT: Windows Systems Installed on NTFS Partitions<br />

By default, the Windows versions NT, 2000, and XP use the NTFS file system.<br />

Unlike FAT file systems, NTFS file systems can only be read from Linux. This<br />

means you can read your Windows files from Linux, but you cannot edit them.<br />

If you want write access to your Windows data and do not need the NTFS file<br />

system, reinstall Windows on a FAT32 file system. In this case, you will have<br />

full access to your Windows data from <strong>SUSE</strong> Linux.<br />

1.8.2 S<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

<strong>SUSE</strong> Linux contains a number <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware packages for various application purposes.<br />

Click S<strong>of</strong>tware in the suggestion window to start the s<strong>of</strong>tware selection and modify the<br />

installation scope according to your needs. Select your categories from the list in the<br />

middle and see the description in the right window. Each category contains a number<br />

<strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware packages that meet most requirements for that category. For more detailed<br />

selection <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware packages to install, select Details to switch to the YaST Package<br />

Manager. See Figure 1.4, “Installing and Removing S<strong>of</strong>tware with the YaST Package<br />

Manager” (page 15).
