IMPORTANT: Scope of the Backup
This backup does not include the software. It only contains configuration files.
Language
Primary and other languages currently installed on the system are listed here. Change
them by clicking Language in the displayed configuration or with Change > Language.
Optionally, adapt the keyboard layout and time zone to the region where the primary
language is spoken. Find more about language selection in
Section 8.5.15, “Language
Selection” (page 158).
Important Information about Updates
The system update is a very complex procedure. For each program package, YaST must
first check which version is installed on the computer then determine what needs to be
done to replace the old version with the new version correctly. YaST also tries to adopt
any personal settings of the installed packages.
In most cases, YaST replaces old versions with new ones without problems. A backup
of the existing system should be performed prior to updating to ensure that existing
configurations are not lost during the update. Conflicts can then be resolved manually
after the update has finished.
8.3.9 Installing into a Directory
This YaST module allows you to install packages into a directory specified by you.
Select where to place the root directory, how to name directories, and the type of system
and software to install. After entering this module, YaST determines the system settings
and lists the default directory, installation instructions, and software to install. Edit
these settings by clicking Change. All changes must be confirmed by clicking Accept.
After changes have been made, click Next until informed that the installation is complete.
Click Finish to exit the dialog.
