    You need the other disk for more documentation, gnome, japanese support,
    and a lot of more nice stuff.

    Start with the first CD. YaST(2) lets you select the packages from
    all CDs and request them if you need more then the first CD. In
    this case you can start downloading the next CDs.
    If YaST(2) does not ask you for the second or third CD, you don't
    need them.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
