Installation Types - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP3 - ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC Supplementary Manual

TIP: SMB Installation Path for YaST
Consult the README from the highest directory of DVD 1 for detailed informa-
tion about the syntax of the installation path for YaST.
With NFS
Refer to the documentation provided with the third party product that enables NFS
server services for your Windows workstation. The DVD-ROM drive containing the
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server DVD must be in the available NFS path.
With FTP
Refer to the documentation provided with the third party product that is enabling FTP
server services on your Windows workstation. The DVD-ROM drive containing the
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server DVD must be in the available FTP path.
The FTP server that is bundled with some Microsoft Windows releases implements
only a subset of the FTP command set and is not suitable for providing the installation
data. However, other products (such as the FTP server that is part of Hummingbird
Exceed or WAR-FTPD) have been reported as functional.
Using an FCP-Attached SCSI DVD Drive
After you IPLed from the SCSI DVD as described in Section 1.3.4, "Load from SCSI-
Attached DVD" (page 8), the installation system uses the DVD as the installation
medium. In that case, you do not need the installation media on an FTP, NFS, or SMB
server. However, you need the network configuration data for your SUSE Linux Enter-
prise Server, because you must set up the network during the installation to perform a
graphical installation by VNC or by X tunneled through SSH.
