1.8.8 Time Zone<br />

In this dialog, change your region and time zone by selecting them from the lists. Choose<br />

between Local Time and UTC (GMT) under Hardware Clock Set To. The selection<br />

depends on how the BIOS hardware clock is set on your machine. If it is set to GMT,<br />

which corresponds to UTC, your system can rely on <strong>SUSE</strong> Linux to switch from standard<br />

time to daylight saving time and back automatically. Click Change to set the current<br />

date and time. When finished, click Accept to return to the installation settings dialog.<br />

1.8.9 Performing the Installation<br />

After making all installation settings, click Accept in the suggestion window to begin<br />

the installation. Confirm with Install in the dialog that opens. The installation usually<br />

takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the system performance and the s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

selected. As soon as all packages are installed, YaST boots into the new Linux system,<br />

after which you can configure the hardware and set up system services.<br />

1.9 Configuration<br />

After completing the basic system setup and the installation <strong>of</strong> all selected s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

packages, provide a password for the account <strong>of</strong> the system administrator (the root<br />

user). You can then configure your Internet access and network connection. With a<br />

working Internet connection, you can perform an update <strong>of</strong> the system as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

installation. You can also configure an authentication server for centralized user administration<br />

in a local network. Finally, configure the hardware devices connected to the<br />

machine.<br />

1.9.1 Hostname<br />

The hostname is the computer's name in the network. The fully qualified domain name,<br />

needed here, includes the name <strong>of</strong> the domain to which the computer belongs. Each<br />

server and client in the network should have a unique hostname.<br />

If you are located in a local network, you might receive your hostname over DHCP, in<br />

which case you should not modify the name. To receive the hostname over DHCP, select<br />

Change Hostname via DHCP.<br />
