Dear all,
I have a Win7 laptop on which I have partitioned a section on which I downloaded the iso file for the openSUS11.4. Now I would like to install and run the openSUSE. How should I do it?
Otherwise, how else do I run openSUSE 11.4 on Win7 platform?

Start with a later version of openSUSE - 11.4 has been out of support (ie,
not been updated) for some time now. 12.3 is the most recent release.

Yes you better try it on vmware/virtualbox first. Build a virtual machine and use the iso in your virtual machine’s cd driver.
Then install it with standard procedure. That’s some basic question.
And yes use latest build plz openSUSE 12.3. Good luck !
I am trying to use Cadence with Linux. I was told that Cadence CDK is not supported with the latest openSUSE version. Only openSUSE 11.4 is supported by Cadence.
There seems like a lot of things you do now know how to do. I find Cadence PDK where PDK=Process Design Kit and Cadence is a commercial company that writes and sells software. What exactly would you have us do here? Where did you get the software in question? Commercial software help normally comes from the company you purchased it from. Loading it in a VM is something you could do, but it sounds like you don’t know how to use a VM and of course you are trying to do this with openSUSE 11.4 where you are not sure what to do with an ISO file you have downloaded. I say step back a bit and pick one thing at a time to learn instead of shooting for the entire solution at once unless that is getting a friend over that already understand every subject in question. I was really not sure what to help with first in all of this.

Sorry, I don’t know what is “Cadence”. I see many hits, but I don’t know
which one. Could you post a link to the software?
Perhaps it is “NC State University’s Cadence Desing Kit (NCSU CDK)”?
The best way to get used to Linux first time is installing as a virtual
machine in vmware or virtual box. Of course, it doesn’t run that fast.
If that Cadence software is resource demanding, it may not be enough.
You can install 11.4, there is some maintenance under the evergreen
project. We can get to that later. And of course, you can use an old
version of any operating system as long as you don’t connect it to
Internet, so that it doesn’t get exposed to current malware.
The normal manner is to get a large enough free space in your disk,
unpartitioned. You basically need an extended partition with free space
inside into which the installer can create at least 3 partitions. You
install by booting the DVD or CD install media.
We can give you a better recommendation if we see your current
partitioning. The problem is how to see that, because Windows tools do
not give the correct information we need. If you can boot a Linux live
CD, you simply run in a terminal “fdisk -l” and post the text here, in a
code tags block. Advanced editor, ‘#’ button.

You might take a look at evergreen, then - it uses 11.4 as a base and is
a community-driven project to provide updates - I think it still has
about a year of life in it IIRC.
