10.2 Installing Service Packs

Use Service Packs to update a SUSE Linux Enterprise installation. There are several
different ways in which you can apply a Service Pack. You can either update the existing
installation or start a whole new installation using the Service Pack media. Possible
scenarios for updating the system and setting up a central network installation source
are described here.
TIP: Installation Changes
Read the installation instructions on the Service Pack media for further changes.
10.2.1 Setting Up a Network Installation
As with the initial installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise, it is much more efficient
having a central installation source on your network to serve all clients rather than in-
stalling all of them separately using a set of physical media.
