Installing SuSE Linux 10.2 / SuSE Linux 10.3
Install SuSE Linux from CD, DVD or network. You can do a text installation only (minimal install for a server) or install a GUI. Disable the firewall during installation.
Setup the necessary SuSE repositories
The following basic repositories need to be setup in your system: OSS, NON-OSS, UPDATE. There are many mirrors available for these. A basic description of these repositories is here. You can setup these repositories during installation in YaST, use YaST to set them up later, or use a different package management system.
openSUSE 10.2
openSUSE 10.2: Example Repository URLs:
Note: Add server name in the top line mirrors.kernel.org. Add path starting with a "/" in the second line.

Additional Repositories:
Some of the required packages are not in the main SuSE repository but can be found in repositories that belong to the SuSE build service. You can either search for the required packages here and load them individually, or install the respective repositories into your system. The needed repositories include:
