5.1.3 Providing the Installation Data
The installation data can be provided by means of the product CDs or DVDs or using
a network installation source. If the product CDs are used as the installation source,
physical access to the client to install is needed, because the boot process needs to be
initiated manually and the CDs need to be changed.
To provide the installation sources over the network, set up a network installation
server (HTTP, NFS, FTP) as described in Section 4.2.1, "Setting Up an Installation
Server Using YaST" (page 56). Use an info file to pass the server's location to the
installation routines.

The client can be booted in several different ways:
Network Boot
As for a normal remote installation, autoinstallation can be initiated with Wake on
LAN and PXE, the boot image and control file can be pulled in via TFTP, and the
installation sources from any network installation server.
Bootable CD-ROM
