Be sure to read the online instructions first! It is important that you understand what would delete the Windows OS, when to partition manually.

You may buy the CD or download the ISO file. If possible, try a "live" version to play with; installation is optional. There are also versions of Linux that can be installed as a Windows program, then removed just as easily.

You need to burn the ISO image to a CD. If you are using Windows, try a freeware program called "ImgBurn." Find the burn speed option and select x4 or slower! This may make the CD more durable and readable. You cannot just drag and drop it; this would leave a copy of the ISO file on the CD instead of writing (burning) the decompressed image (filesystem).

After you do this, just reboot your computer with the disc in the drive. Most computer will boot directly to the CD. If it continues into Windows, you'll need to enter your BIOS and change the boot order, CD first.

Install Vista first. During the installation of OpenSUSE, you will be prompted if you would like to partition the hard drive to make room for OpenSUSE, or format the drive entirely for OpenSUSE. Make a partition of at least 6 GB, plus a swap partition of 1 GB. The installer will automatically install a bootloader known as GRUB, which can boot Vista or OpenSUSE at your choosing.
