Hi Mukund:
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Power up the machine and put back the OpenSuSe Linux 11 DVD.
2. Select 'New installation'
3. Define partitions etc.
4. IMPORTANT
Select desktop as KDE 3.5
5. Next in the package selection, do the following:
. Uncheck / Unselect openoffice by right clicking and selecting 'Do
not install' option.
. Select Koffice along with presenter and writer.
6. Proceed with the installation and it will be about 2.3 GB of
packages.
The installation should go fine through till the end.
You can install the rest of the packages of your choice later throught
Yast. The coolest thing about Yast is that it can sort out the
dependencies for you and install the required packages.
All the best. Go ahead.
thanks
Saifi.
