1.8.5 Keyboard Layout<br />

Select the keyboard layout from the list. By default, the layout corresponds to the selected<br />

language. After changing the layout, test the characters that are special to the<br />

selected language layout to make sure that the selection is correct. To set special options<br />

regarding keyboard behavior, click Expert Settings. Find more information about that<br />

in Section 2.4.9, “Keyboard Layout” (page 46). When finished, click Accept to return<br />

to the installation settings dialog.<br />

1.8.6 Booting<br />

During the installation, YaST proposes a boot configuration for your system. Normally,<br />

you can leave these settings unchanged. However, if you need a custom setup, modify<br />

the proposal for your system.<br />

One possibility is to configure the boot mechanism to rely on a special boot floppy.<br />

Although this has the disadvantage that it requires the floppy to be in the drive when<br />

booting, it leaves an existing boot mechanism untouched. Normally this should not be<br />

necessary, however, because YaST can configure the boot loader to boot other existing<br />

operating systems as well. Another possibility with the configuration is to change the<br />

location <strong>of</strong> the boot mechanism on the hard disk.<br />

To change the boot configuration proposed by YaST, select Booting to open a dialog<br />

in which to change many details <strong>of</strong> the boot mechanism. For information, read Section<br />

“Configuring the Boot Loader with YaST” (Chapter 9, The Boot Loader, ↑Reference).<br />

The boot method should only be changed by experienced computer users.<br />

1.8.7 Default Runlevel<br />

<strong>SUSE</strong> Linux can boot to different runlevels. Normally there should be no need to change<br />

anything here, but if necessary set the default runlevel with this dialog. Refer to Section<br />

2.5.11, “System Services (Runlevel)” (page 58) for information about runlevel<br />

configuration.
