General Installation Notes
Be sure to read
General Guidelines for All VMware Products as well as this guide to installing your specific guest operating system.
The easiest method of installing SUSE LINUX 10 in a virtual machine is to use the standard SUSE LINUX distribution CDs. The notes below describe an installation using the standard distribution CD; however, installing SUSE LINUX 10 via the boot floppy/network method is supported as well. If your VMware product supports it, you may also install from a PXE server.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created and configured a new virtual machine.

Installation Steps
1. Insert the SUSE LINUX 10 installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing SUSE LINUX 10.
3. Install using the text mode installer. In the first installation screen, press the F3 key to get boot options. Press the F3 key again and use the arrow keys to select text mode, then press Enter to select the text mode installer.
4. Be sure to install gcc and the kernel source so the VMware Tools installer can compile modules for SUSE Linux 10.
At the Installation Settings screen, choose Change, then choose Software. From the Filter menu, choose RPM Groups. Choose the Development group, press Enter to open it, and add gcc, gcc-c++, and kernel-source by highlighting those items in the list and pressing the spacebar.
5. At the Test Internet Cconnection screen - during final configuration, after all packages are installed - do not perform the Internet connection test.
6. Follow the remaining installation steps as you would for a physical machine.
This completes basic installation of the SUSE LINUX 10 guest operating system.
