Install SLES with KDE and GNOME

I am using VMWare Fusion 2 on a Mac.  The disk size is 20 GB.  Sharing will  be disabled.  I will give it 1 GB of Ram.  I will use NAT for the network connection.  The way I understand Fusion is basically the DHCP and gives the VM OS the same IP address every time.  I will use the SLES SP 2 ISO for the CD drive.  I will use a 10 GB disk size split into 2 GB files.

    Step1InstallSLES

  3. Yes, accept the license agreement and click next.
