Easy.

Option 1: Check if it is already included with your SuSE CD's
To do this go into the YAST control center and click on the Install software option, then search for adobe reader. It will ask you to insert the relevant CD's and install it for your.

Option 2: If it doesn't come on the SuSE CD' then download it from Adobe - Adobe Reader Download - All versions
Choose "Linux (.rpm)" in the "Select Version" box.
Then once its downloaded, just double click on it and follow the onscreen instructions. SuSE will probably still ask for your CD as adobe reader will depend on other programs to be installed on your system as well.

Noteyou'll need your root password for all of these

Hope this helps!

really thanks for this useful information

now i have win xp on my pc
me college information about linux suse
i have coral draw 10 on my pc
if i want install it on linux suse will be by same installer

[gogalthorp]

coral draw is not a Linux program so it will not run. It may run under wine (this program allows some windows programs to run)

Here is a list of equivalent programs
The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux. (Official site of the table)

To install Linux with XP you need to repartition the hard drive and leave as FREE SPACE the amount of the hard drive you plan to use for Linux.

If you're unsure about your motherboard or any of your hardware then try the Live CD. It lets you boot up into Linux without installing to your hard drive, it runs completely from the CD!

You can download The OpenSuSE Live DVD from here.



I'm guessing you have a few more questions so I shall try to answer some more

What is OpenSuSE?
Ok there are two versions of SuSE Linux, simply put OpenSuSE is free!!! and you can do what you like with it so long as you respect the GPL license. The second (SuSE Linux) you pay for and you're more restricted with what you can do with it, but you get support from Novell.

I don't have a DVD Burner
That's ok neither do I, ok, a few choices:
1) find someone who does and get them to burn it for you
2) Purchase a ready burnt DVD (Released Version - openSUSE)
3) If you just want to try things out, try a different distro KNOPPIX Linux Live CD or try http://www.puppylinux.org/user/downl...download_id=57 if you're looking for something small and fast.
4) Treat yourself to a new DVD Burner!!!

Depending on your hardware, most devices should be detected automatically during the installation. The exception is certain sound cards such as the X-Fi by Creative Labs. There are no current (or future) plans for Creative to offer support to the Linux community for this hardware. Most on-board sound cards are supported natively by linux however, so if you do have on-board sound, chances are good that you will be fine.

As for Network, again, most network cards are supported natively by Linux. And these too should be detected during the install. By default, SuSE will set up your network for DHCP. If you prefer to use a static or fixed IP address, you will need to set this manually.

VGA video. Again, most chipsets should at least give you basic video support during installation. An exception to this would be certain On-Board video chips by Intel. These chipsets (such as the i810) are not supported during the actual install, but will work fine once the actual system has been installed. This is a documented issue, and all you will need to do is use the text-based YAST installer. It works the same as the graphical version, but without the pretty mouse pointer and screens.

As suggested in previous posts, the best way to check out most Linux Distros would be to use a Live-CD to try it out first before you actually install anything. This way you should find out quite easily if your system will in fact work with the selected distribution of Linux you are hoping to install.

Good Luck!
