New Users - Sample installation pages
You can also see a full installation walkthrough on the openSUSE wiki:
Installation/11.1 DVD Install - openSUSE
... or for the Live CD:
Installation/11.1 Live CD - openSUSE
This is an excellent reference to point to, if you have an installation failure (after the GUI starts) and you wish to point to the failure location. Simply take note of the page where your problem occurred, and use that information to help you describe the problem to those providing you support.
