Sep 09, 2010 Microsoft made some VERY BIG changes to 7 to stop dual booting. The windows bootloader MUST stay on the mbr AND must be 100% intact. Suse 11.3 installs and runs just fine with putting grub on the FIRST linux partition ( as a 100 meg /boot partition) 1. For the past year, Microsoft has been experimenting with the service known as WSL or Windows Subsystem for Linux.A setup that allowed you to run an Ubuntu terminal under Windows 10. These days since Windows 1709 (September 2017), WSL has come out of beta and is now available for general usage. This article will guide you through the steps to install, and setup openSUSE Leap 42 on your Windows.

SuSE Linux 7.2 Installation Guidelines
The easiest method of installing SuSE Linux 7.2 in a virtual machine is to use the standard SuSE distribution CDs. The notes below describe an installation using the standard distribution CD; however, installing SuSE Linux 7.2 via the boot floppy/network method is supported as well.
Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created a directory for the new virtual machine and configured it using the VMware Workstation New Virtual Machine Wizard (on Windows hosts) or Configuration Wizard (on Linux hosts).
Note: During the SuSE Linux 7.2 installation, a standard VGA16 X server (without support for the VMware Workstation X server) should be installed. To get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual machine, install the VMware Tools package immediately after installing SuSE Linux 7.2.
Installation Steps
On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.
AbstractThis chapter describes the procedure in which the data forSUSE Linux Enterprise Server is copied to the target device. Some basicconfiguration parameters for the newly installed system are setduring the procedure. A graphical user interface will guide youthrough the installation. The proceduredescribed in the following also applies to remote installationprocedures as described in. The text mode installationhas the same steps and only looks different.
For information about performing non-interactiveautomated installations, see.Before the installation starts, the installer can update itself. Fordetails, see.The actual installation starts with choosing thelanguage and the product. For details, see.Accept the license agreement. For details,see.IBM Z machines need to activate disks. For details, see.Configure the network. This is only required when you need network accessduring the installation and the automatic network configuration via DHCPfailed. If the automatic network configuration succeeded, this step isskipped.
For details, see.With a working network connection you can register the machine at theSUSE Customer Center or an RMT server. For details, see.Select the modules you want to enable for the machine. This impacts theavailability of system roles in the next step and packages later on.For details, see.You can manually add repositories.For details, see.Select a role for yoursystem. Among other things, this defines the default list of packages toinstall and makes a suggestion for partitioning the hard disks. Fordetails, see.Partition the hard disks of your system.

For details, see.The installer copies all required data and informs you about the progress.For details, see. Tip: Language SelectionThe installer self-update is executed before the language selection step.This means that progress and errors which happen during this process aredisplayed in English by default.To use another language for this part of the installer, use thelanguage boot parameter if available for yourarchitecture, for example, language=deDE. On machinesequipped with a traditional BIOS, alternatively, press F2in the boot menu and select the language from the list.Although this feature was designed to run without user intervention, it isworth knowing how it works. If you are not interested, you can jump directlyto and skip the rest of thissection.By evaluating the regurl bootparameter.By evaluating the /suseregister/regserver profileelement if you are using AutoYaST.By performing an SLP lookup. If an SLP server is found, YaST willask you whether it should be used because there is no authenticationinvolved and everybody on the local network could announce aregistration server.By querying the SUSE Customer Center.If none of the previous attempts worked, the fallback URL (defined inthe installation media) will be used. 8.2.1.3 Temporary Self-Update Add-on RepositorySome packages distributed in the self-update repository provide additionaldata for the installer, like the installation defaults, system roledefinitions and similar. If the installer finds such packages in theself-update repository, a local temporary repository is created, to whichthose packages are copied.
They are used during the installation process,but at the end of the installation, the temporary local repository isremoved. Its packages are not installed onto thetarget system.This additional repository is not displayed in the list of add-onproducts, but during installation it may still be visible asSelfUpdate0 repository in the package management.Only HTTP/HTTPS and FTP repositories are supported.Only RPM-MD repositories are supported (required by RMT).Packages are not installed in the usual way: They are uncompressed onlyand no scripts are executed.No dependency checks are performed. Packages are installed inalphabetical order.Files from the packages override the files from the originalinstallation media.
This means that the update packages might not need tocontain all files, only files that have changed. Unchanged files areomitted to save memory and download bandwidth. Figure 8.1: Language, Keyboard, and Product SelectionThe Language and Keyboard Layoutsettings are initialized with the language you chose on the bootscreen. If you did not change the default, it will be English (US). Changethe settings here, if necessary.Changing the language will automatically preselect a corresponding keyboardlayout. Override this proposal by selecting a different keyboard layoutfrom the drop-down box. Use the Keyboard Test text box totest the layout.
The language selected here is also used to assume a timezone for the system clock.
