A few tips: If you install your system, or you use a permanent USB image, you can install accelerated 3D drivers if you have a nVidia or ATI card. Please, read the instructions carefully to properly select the driver you have to install for your video card. If you run the virtualized image, be sure to allocate enough memory for the virtual machine, or some application may fail to load. The same consideration applies to the live DVD, if the RAM of your system is not sufficient. The live DVD however can use an existing Linux swap partition if detected at boot. To install openSUSE updates, proceed as usual, using either YaST or the updater applet. To update OpenFOAM from the git repository (this is recommended only on an installed system): open a terminal become root with the command &#8216;su&#8217;, which will ask you to insert root&#8217;s password cd into \/opt\/OpenFOAM\/OpenFOAM-1.7.x type &#8216;git pull&#8217;. type &#8216;.\/Allwmake&#8217; to build OpenFOAM with the updates.
