1.12.2 Booting
YaST proposes a boot conguration for your system. Other operating systems found
on your computer, such as Microsoft Windows or other Linux installations, will auto-
matically be detected and added to the boot loader. However, openSUSE will be booted
by default. Normally, you can leave these settings unchanged. If you need a custom
setup, modify the proposal for your system. For information, see Section 9.2, “Cong-
uring the Boot Loader with YaST” (page 166). The boot method should only be changed
by experienced users.
1.12.3 Software
openSUSE contains a number of software patterns for various application purposes.
Click Software to start the pattern selection and modify the installation scope according
to your needs. Select your pattern from the list and see a pattern description in the right
part of the window. Each pattern contains a number of software packages needed for
specic functions (e.g. Multimedia or Ofce software). For a more detailed selection
based on software packages to install, select Details to switch to the YaST Software
Manager.
You can also install additional software packages or remove software packages from
your system at any later time with the YaST Software Manager. For more information,
refer to Chapter 5, Installing or Removing Software (↑Start-Up).
