first six module groups. They can be used for things like viewing log files and installing
drivers from a vendor CD.
8.11.1 Custom Installation CD Creation
With Miscellaneous > CD Creator, you can create a customized installation CD from
your original installation set. To start creation, click Add. Use the package manager to
select the packages or an AutoYaST control file to use a preconfigured AutoYaST
profile for creation.

For network installation, an installation server is required. To configure such a server,
use Miscellaneous > Installation Server. Find more information about the configuration
of an installation server with YaST in Section 4.2.1, "Setting Up an Installation Server
Using YaST" (page 56).
