2.5.2 Installing over the Network
An installation server is required to perform the installation by using a network source.
The procedure for installing this server is outlined in
Section 14.2, "Setting Up the
Server Holding the Installation Sources"
(page 198).
If you have an SLP server, select SLP as the installation source in the first boot screen.
During the boot procedure, select which of the available installation sources to use.
If the DVD is available in the network, use it as an installation source. In this case,
specify the parameter install=<URL> with suitable values at the boot prompt. Find
a more detailed description of this parameter in
Section 14.4.2, "Using Custom Boot
Options"
(page 219).
2.6 Controlling the Installation
Control the installation in one of several ways. The method most frequently used is to
install SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server from the computer console. Other options are
available for different situations. Find more information about the available installation
methods in
Chapter 5, Deployment Strategies
(page 79).
2.6.1 Installation on the Computer Console
The simplest way to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is using the computer console.
With this method, a graphical installation program guides you through the installation.
This installation method is discussed in detail in
Chapter 6, Installation with YaST
(page 89).
You can still perform the installation on the console without a working graphics mode.
The text-based installation program offers the same functionality as the graphical version.
Find some hints about navigation in this mode in Section "Navigation in Modules"
(Chapter 3, YaST in Text Mode, ↑Administration Guide).
