Be aware, that openSUSE is experimental and isn't supported. openSUSE for the X1000 is alpha software! It's only for testing!
Here are the installation instructions for openSUSE 13.2 PPC64 (based on the Fedora installation instructions by Pat Wall. Thanks to Pat

)
You
must have another Linux distribution already installed such as Debian, MintPPC, Ubuntu etc in
order to install openSUSE 13.2. Login to your current Linux distribution, e.g. Debian or
Ubuntu and create an
ext4 partition of at least 20GB using
GParted or similar tool of your choice.
You should also create a Linux swap partition.
Login to your current Linux distribution, e.g. Debian or Ubuntu, and open a terminal to complete
the following steps.
Become the root user by entering
<return>
Enter your root password <return>
Create a mount point on which to mount the new openSUSE partition:
<return>
Mount the partition where you want to install openSUSE.
Code: Select all
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdXX /mnt/opensuse
<return>
Download the openSUSE 13.2 PPC64 tarball from the following URL:
openSUSE-13.2-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz
(The compressed image is 1.3GB in size and will expand to 3.7GB )
Copy the tar.gz file to the partition where you want to install openSUSE.
Code: Select all
cp openSUSE-13.2-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz /mnt/opensuse
<return>
Change to /mnt/opensuse.
<return>
Unpack the tarball.

tar zxvf openSUSE-13.2-1-x1000-ppc64.tar.gz
<return>
You can now reboot into your openSUSE installation:
<return>
Booting openSUSE
To boot openSUSE at the CFE prompt you will need to do the following:
Remember to substitute the root partition (/dev/sdb2 in this example) that you installed openSUSE on.
(Note this is typed as a single line at the CFE prompt)
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb2"
Boot a Linux kernel for example vmlinux-4.1 kernel from a usb stick or compact flash card.
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1
(compact flash card)
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1
(USB disk)
openSUSE will now boot to the “Shell Login” Screen.
Login into openSUSE with the administrator account
root.
The default root password is:
amigaone (all lower-case)
Change the root password to the password of your choice.
<return>
Enter your new password and confirm.
While still logged in as root you will need to setup X11.
<return>
Copy the
xorg.conf.new file to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Code: Select all
cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reboot the AMIGA one X1000 and login with the root user.
Have a lot of fun with openSUSE.
