Setting up an NFS source for installation is basically done in two steps. In the first step,
create the directory structure holding the installation data and copy the installation
media over to this structure. Second, export the directory holding the installation data
to the network.
To create a directory holding the installation data, proceed as follows:
1 Log in as root.
2 Create a directory that should later hold all installation data and change into this
directory. For example:
mkdir install/product/productversion
cd install/product/productversion
Replace product with an abbreviation of the product name and
productversion with a string that contains the product name and version.
3 For each CD contained in the media kit execute the following commands:
3a Copy the entire content of the installation CD into the installation server di-
rectory:
cp -a /media/path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive .
Replace path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive with the actual path under
which your CD or DVD drive is addressed. Depending on the type of drive
used in your system, this can be cdrom, cdrecorder, dvd, or
dvdrecorder.
3b Rename the directory to the CD number:
mv path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive CDx
Replace x with the actual number of your CD.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, you can export the installation sources with NFS
using YaST. Proceed as follows:
1 Log in as root.
2 Start YaST > Network Services > NFS Server.
