Hur man installerar openSUSE 11 i användande paralleller för OS X - en färdig walkthrough

Linux Mac

Denna tutorial ska take dig som varje singel kliver av installationen långt igenom openSUSE 11 använda Paralleller skrivbords- 3.0 för OS X.

Bakgrund

Denna tutorial är för någon med en Intel baserad Mac som är nyfiken om Linux - specifikt openSUSE och har omkring en timme som ska dödas (inte däribland tiden som den tar till nedladdningopenSUSE).

Kliver, och screenshots som används för denna tutorial, är specifika till Paralleller skrivbords- 3.0 (byggande 5608) spring på en MacBook som är pro med OS X (10.5.5). Med sagt det, ska de är för den nästan identisk, om du har en Pro Mac, macen kortkortet, MacBook eller någon annan Intel den baserade rinnande tigern eller leoparden för Apple Mac.

Som du kan ha märkt, här på enkel hjälp rekommenderar vi ofta programvara och 90 något procent av tiden att programvara är fri. Paralleller är inte fria, men det är egentligen värt kosta. Det ska låter dig köra andra fungerande system (lik openSUSE) på din Mac - utan att måste att oroa om några av dina inställningar för OS X, dokumenterar eller sparar oavsiktligt att tas bort. Och, om du inte gillar openSUSE, kan du kassera den och bära på något liknande som den händde aldrig.

En annat (ha som huvudämne), gynnar av att använda paralleller är att du kör det annat fungerande systemet (i denna fallopenSUSE) stunder OS X är rinnande. Du behöver inte att starta din Mac om igen, varje gång du önskar att koppla från OS X till openSUSE och vice-versa.

Om openSUSE

OpenSUSEen projekterar är ett världsomspännande gemenskapprogram som sponsras av Novell som främjar bruket av Linux överallt. Programet ger fritt, och lätt ta fram till openSUSE. Här kan du finna och sammanfoga en gemenskap av användare och bärare, som alla har det samma målet i åtanke? att skapa och fördela världens användbaraste Linux.

Installera openSUSE i skrivbords- paralleller

  1. Första saker första. Du ska behov nedladdningopenSUSE 11.0. Från nedladdningsidan välj 32 bet PC version (ja, även om du har en Mac). Välj LiveCD installationsmedel - om du önskar alla av programvara som är inklusive på DVDEN som du kan alltid nedladda den separat som är mer sistnämnd. Avgör, om du önskar att använda, slutligen Gnome eller KDE version. I opted for KDE, so the screenshots in this tutorial are specific to it, but you should have no problem following along if you prefer Gnome. Plus, you can always switch from one to the other later if you prefer. The download itself uses bittorrent - if you need help setting up and using a bittorrent client in OS X, see this tutorial.

  3. Once the download has completed, you can burn the .iso file to a CD, or just boot from the .iso in Parallels. I’ll outline both methods in this tutorial. Launch Parallels Desktop and select File -> New to create a new virtual machine for openSUSE.
  4. Select Custom as the installation mode, and click Next.

  6. From the OS Type: drop-down menu select Linux and from the OS Version: select SUSE Linux. Click Next.

  8. Now you’ll have to decide how much memory (RAM) you want to allocate to openSUSE. I opted for 512MB, as I have 2GB of RAM on my MacBook Pro. If you have less memory on your Mac, I’d suggest sticking with the default of 256MB. If you have more, you can increase the memory for openSUSE. When you’ve set your preference, click Next.

  10. Choose Create a new hard disk image and click Next to continue.

  12. Decide how large you want your ‘virtual hard drive’ to be. As indicated by the screenshot below, I set mine at approximately 15GB. Select Expanding as the format for your virtual hard disk. This means that even if you allocated 15GB to openSUSE, it won’t actually use that much space until you “fill” the openSUSE drive. After you’ve completed the installation, your openSUSE virtual disk will be about 2GB in size, so if you set your drive to be 15GB, you’ll have about 13GB left to install additional programs etc. Once you’ve made your choice, click Next.

  14. Select Shared Networking as your networking option, and click Next.

  16. Give your virtual machine a name. Anything will do, but a descriptive name is ideal, especially if you plan on installing multiple virtual operating systems. Click the arrow next to More Options and decide if you want Parallels Desktop to create a shortcut to openSUSE on your Desktop. You can also change the location that your virtual machine is saved if you wish. When you’re done, click Next.

  18. Select Virtual machine (recommended) as the one optimized for performance, and yet again, click Next.

  20. If you burned the .iso file to a disk, insert it into your CD/DVD drive now. Make sure Start SUSE Linux installation is selected, and click Finish. Skip down to step #15 below.

    If you’re going to boot from the .iso file itself, continue with the next step.

  22. Click the arrow next to More Options and select ISO image. Then click the Choose… button.

  26. Make sure Start SUSE Linux installation is selected, and click Finish.

    Great Writeup!

    This helped me a lot, thanks!

    On my PC I have one partition with Mac OS X and Parallels. With Parallels I have Vista and now openSUSE. On my other partition I have Vista. I always wanted to have a third partition with SUSE but I also always encountered errors with my USB flash drive. So, at least for now, this will be the alternative . . . and that’s not at all bad!

    Again, thanks.
