14. On the suggested Partitioning window you can see system automatically selected partition /dev/sdc1 (300 GB) for operating system, but as you remember we added this disk for HANA Database. So we have to remove this partition and add /dev/sda1 for Operating System. For removing /dev/sdc1 and adding /dev/sda1 click the Expert Partitioner button in Figure 2.14
Figure 2.14: Suggested Partitioning
15. Select sdc under Hard Disks and click Delete button (Figure 2.15)

24. You can see the partition changes in the Expert Partitioner window in Figure 2.24 but these changes still not applied, to apply all these changes click the Accept button.
Figure 2.24: Expert Partitioner Summery
25. Now on the Suggested Partitioning page you can see all the changes we done, the root volume is /dev/sda1 and swap volume is /dev/sdb1 (Figure 2.25)
Figure 2.25: New changes applied
26. Adjust the Clock and Time Zone in Figure 2.26
Figure 2.26: Clock and Time Zone

Figure 2.33: Logon screen for entering Password
34. In few second after the entering the password and pressing enter key you will get the initial desktop of SUSE Linux in Figure 2.34
Figure 2.34: Desktop of SUSE Linux
We have successfully installed the Operating System (SUSE Linux) in the Virtual Machine.
In the Part 3 of this blog we will create the partition of disk /dev/sdc which will be used for HANA Database, we also create the partition of disk /dev/sdd which will be used for HANA IDES Setup files, we will also create directories for both Database and Setup files and mount both new partitions to the relevant directory, finally we will copy all the setup file to the HANA IDES setup directory which we downloaded in the Part 1 of this blog.
