Linux Enterprise Server using different methods, and prepare and use the IPL of the

guration and network installation.
2.1 Making the Installation Data
Available
This section provides detailed information about making the SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server IBM System z installation data accessible for installation. Depending on your
computer and system environment, choose between NFS or FTP installation. If you are
running Microsoft Windows workstations in your environment, you can also use the
Windows network including the SMB protocol to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
on your IBM System z system.
TIP: IPL from CD-ROM
When planning to IPL from CD-ROM, keep in mind that only the boot files will
be loaded. The other data contained on the CD must be accessed from the
network. Make a copy of the CD or copy its contents onto the FTP, NFS, or
SMB server first.
