1. How to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15


Once we download the ISO image, we must burn it to a bootable USB drive or to a double-layer DVD (the size of the ISO is 9.9 GB).

 

Step 1

After this we configure the equipment where it has to be installed so that it boots from the selected medium and we will see the following:

Options
There we find options such as:
  • Boot from Hard Disk: applies if we already have the system installed locally
  • Installation: allows us to install SUSE
  • Upgrade; applies when we want to upgrade from a previous version to version 15
  • More: it has additional control tools

 

Step 2

In this case we press the F2 key to access the language selection to use:
