 <h2>Before you begin</h2>
 <p>
 Installing Linux is getting easier and easier. You will be required to log in to the machine and execute some routine Unix commands.  Familiarity with the Apache web server, mod_perl, perl, and MySQL are not required to install and run LON-CAPA.

 <h2>Installation Overview</h2>
 <p>
 The installation process takes the following steps:
 </p>
 <ol>
-  <li> Obtain SuSE 10.3 installation media (DVD, or CD)</li>
-  <li> Determine Network Settings</li>
-  <li> Install Suse 10.3</li>
-  <li> Update your system</li>
-  <li> Install LON-CAPA</li>
